Divorce rates soar, marriage rates drop, children walk away from faith and family. What can we do? What does the Bible tell us about the principles of building holy families? Dr. Bergsma returns to the Book of Genesis to remember how it all began, calling to mind how God instituted marriage, and how the early patriarchs passed their faith to their children and grandchildren.

The gospel of Matthew, written for Jewish Christians, illuminates the life and teachings of Christ as the long-promised Messiah. In Luke's gospel, readers will delve into the infancy and Triduum narratives, as well as the Acts of the Apostles and the life of the early Church. This leads the reader to discover St. Paul and his first and arguably greatest theological treatise: Romans. Finally, “the beloved apostle” St. John draws us in to the unsurpassed beauty of the fourth gospel, as well as the most mysterious book of the New Testament: the book of Revelation.

Bergsma reveals how this Jewish sect directly influenced the beliefs, sacraments, and practices of early Christianity and offers new information on how Christians lived their lives, worshipped, and eventually went on to influence the Roman Empire and Western civilization. Looking to Hebrew scripture and Jewish tradition, Bergsma helps to further explain how a simple Jewish peasant could go on to inspire a religion and a philosophy that still resonates 2,000 years later.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this enriching and exciting exploration, Bergsma demonstrates how the Dead Sea Scrolls—the world’s greatest modern archaeological discovery—can shed light on the Church as a sacred society that offered hope, redemption, and salvation to its member. Ultimately, these mysterious writings are a time machine that can transport us back to the ancient world, deepen our appreciation of Scripture, and strengthen our understanding of the Christian faith.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: large; color: #333333;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: large; color: #333333;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Image (September 10, 2019)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab3\"\u003eYotpo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21339054604342,"sku":"CP 307","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1202\/2816\/products\/dead-sea-scrolls.jpg?v=1569434825"},{"product_id":"the-dark-passages-of-the-old-testament","title":"The Dark Passages of the Old Testament","description":"\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aQldhSX57II?rel=0\u0026amp;iv_load_policy=3\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 1em; color: #777676;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Why is there so much killing in the Old Testament?\u003cbr\u003e• Do Moses' laws permit some acts that are unjust?\u003cbr\u003e• Is the God of the Old Test. the God of the New Test.?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e \u003c!--Start tab labels--\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca class=\"active\" href=\"#tab1\"\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab2\"\u003eExcerpt \u0026amp; Outline \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab3\"\u003eReviews \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e \u003c!--Start tab labels--\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca class=\"active\" href=\"#tab1\"\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab2\"\u003eExcerpt \u0026amp; Outline \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab3\"\u003eReviews\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\" id=\"tab1\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: large;\"\u003e57 min. (1 CD \/ MP3)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: large;\"\u003eWhy is there so much killing in the Old Testament?

These stories include:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Adam and Eve—who show us that marriage is the culmination of all creation and that marriage can be an image of the Trinity;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Ruth and Boaz—who display the tenderness and virtue of a marriage;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Solomon and his bride in the Song of Songs—who illustrate a positive, healthy view of the body and physical beauty; and\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Jesus as Bridegroom of his people, the Church.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing his popular, whimsical stick-figure illustrations and engaging style, Bergsma helps us understand scripture and salvation history in a unique, memorable way. He also provides insight into Church teachings on marriage and relationships—such as monogamy, the single life, the Sacrament of Matrimony, and Jesus’s words about divorce—to show how these teachings come from the love God shares with his people through the covenants in scripture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: large; color: #333333;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: large; color: #333333;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ave Maria Press (March 10, 2023)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab3\"\u003eYotpo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ave Maria Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42964017676444,"sku":"CP 322","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1202\/2816\/files\/love-basics-for-catholics.jpg?v=1703813439"}],"url":"https:\/\/catholicproductions.com\/collections\/john-bergsma\/bible.oembed?page=2","provider":"Catholic Productions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
