Incredible depth and detail that opened up the Mass Readings for me.
Please please put it on a DVD..
Great introduction to the catechism. Left me wanting more. We need a explanation on every paragraph.
The Pope, devotion to Mary, confession … just where are these topics in the Bible? Why does the Catholic Church seem to focus on so many things that aren’t Scriptural?
Or so thought former Protestant pastor John Bergsma.
Stunned by Scripture: How the Bible Made Me Catholic is an engaging examination of the things Dr. Bergsma once considered obstacles to ever becoming Catholic himself. Over an eighteen-month spiritual journey, Bergsma was stunned again and again by the biblical support he found for even the stickiest teachings of the Catholic Church.
Weaving his personal story into clear explanations of Catholic teachings as found in Scripture, Dr. Bergsma explores seven key Catholic doctrines, including:
• The Pope
• Devotion to Mary
• Confession
• The Eucharist
• The priesthood
• Belief in the Bible alone
• Salvation by faith alone theologies
Stunned by Scripture will help Catholics understand, defend, and explain the biblical basis for the Faith and show them how the Bible solidly supports even the most frequently misunderstood Catholic teachings.

I recently purchased Dr. Bergsma's book directly from the publisher, Our Sunday Visitor, as it has been out of stock here for some time. I completed the book in less than a week. It is very easy to read and understand. I enjoyed this book and how Dr. Bergsma explained his understanding of the Bible while a Protestant and how he came to understand the Catholic faith by using Scripture and the Church Fathers. One of the best conversion stories that I have read! I would recommend this to anyone.
Just started reading this and it already affirms that what we as Catholics are taught about our faith is found in scripture. Can’t wait to read all of it.
Fantastic book,easy to read,great book
Study material during trying times that don’t always seem to be safe.
Excited to begin learning!
