Synopsis "A Catholic Introduction to the Bible: The old Testament "

Although many Catholics are familiar with the four Gospels and other writings of the New Testament, for most, reading the Old Testament is like walking into a foreign land. Who wrote these forty-six books? When were they written? Why were they written? What are we to make of their laws, stories, histories, and prophecies? Should the Old Testament be read by itself or in light of the New Testament?John Bergsma and Brant Pitre offer readable in-depth answers to these questions as they introduce each book of the Old Testament. They not only examine the literature from a historical and cultural perspective but also interpret it theologically, drawing on the New Testament and the faith of the Catholic Church. Unique among introductions, this volume places the Old Testament in its liturgical context, showing how its passages are employed in the current Lectionary used at Mass.Accessible to nonexperts, this thorough and up-to-date introduction to the Old Testament can serve as an idea textbook for biblical studies. Its unique approach, along with its maps, illustrations, and other reference materials, makes it a valuable resource for seminarians, priests, Scripture scholars, theologians, and catechists, as well as anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Bible.

John Bergsma es un teólogo y biblista católico estadounidense reconocido por su labor académica y su trabajo de divulgación. Nació en 1967 y en sus primeros años fue pastor protestante dentro de la tradición presbiteriana. Sin embargo, tras un profundo estudio de las Escrituras y de la historia de la Iglesia, se convirtió al catolicismo en 2001, una decisión que marcó el rumbo de su vida personal y profesional.

Bergsma obtuvo su doctorado en Teología Bíblica en la University of Notre Dame, una de las instituciones más prestigiosas en estudios religiosos. Actualmente es profesor de Teología en el Franciscan University of Steubenville, donde se especializa en Antiguo Testamento y en la relación entre las Escrituras y la tradición católica.

Es autor de numerosos libros y estudios, muchos de ellos orientados tanto a académicos como al público general. Entre sus obras destacan títulos sobre la alianza bíblica, los sacramentos y la interpretación de la Biblia. También participa frecuentemente en conferencias, podcasts y programas de formación religiosa.

Su enfoque combina rigor académico con un estilo accesible, lo que lo ha convertido en una figura influyente en la educación católica contemporánea y en la difusión de la fe basada en la Escritura.
