Bible Basics for Catholics: A New Picture of Salvation History

This guide offers a broad overview of the Bible's story of salvation, tracing the arc of Scripture from the beginnings in Eden through to the coming of Jesus. Written for readers who feel unsure of their grasp of the text, it sets out the main events and how they connect, in short, accessible chapters. The author, a scripture teacher, brings a light tone and plenty of hand-drawn sketches to explain difficult material. This expanded edition adds questions at the end of each chapter, a seven-week plan for group study, and video material for those who want to go further. It suits solo readers, study groups, parish classes and families alike, and aims to show how the sweep of scripture connects with everyday Catholic faith.
