As Catholics, we believe that “‘the Word of God . . . is set forth and displays its
power in a most wonderful way in the writings of the New Testament’ which
hand on the ultimate truth of God’s Revelation” (CCC 124). The writings of the
New Testament center upon Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and Resurrection
form the keystone of our Faith.
A Catholic Guide to the New Testament sheds light on the essential details of the
Gospels, historical books, and letters of the New Testament, giving them context
and depth. Discover how the books, people, and events of the New Testament
weave together to reveal the “big picture” of the early history of the Church, with

Megan Madden is a homeschooling mother with a passion for writing and speaking on authentic femininity and virtuous womanhood. In 2017, she began graduate studies in marriage and family at the International Theological Institute in Austria. After moving to Kraków, Poland to work with university students, Megan more personally continued her research on the complementarity of man and woman, particularly on the question of what it means to be a woman. She delved into the study of renowned Catholic writers on women such as St. Edith Stein, Gertrude von le Fort, Alice von Hildebrand, St. John Paul II, and St. Teresa of Avila. The results were the development of Megan’s online ministry A Mother’s Lace, as well as speaking opportunities and her book with Ascension: Mary, Teach Me to Be Your Daughter. Megan lives outside of Oxford, England with her husband, who is a lecturer in theology, and their five children.
