Review: Really KNOW and Understand the Old Testament - I had a hard time reading the Old testament. I thought I needed a study guide. I chose this book and found out it was essentially a study guide BUT without the "Old testament" text. However, rather than 2300 pages of Old Testament - this book is 1564 pages of SIMPLY EXCELLENT explanation, background...etc. It is such a thorough explanation that months later I was shocked to realize I did not actually READ the Old Testament. I'm not advising that but I can tell you- if I had read the Old Testament only I would have less than 1/3 the understanding I have now. I highly recommend this thorough book by Bergsma and Pitre
Review: Two weeks early!!! Book way too good to binge read. Gotta come up for air! - I already wrote a review previously, but I forgot to say that I was told that my items (a total of 3 books by Bergsma) would arrive by May 2 because they had to travel all the way to the Philippines…and I guess the package had to wait for other orders to make delivery free for so far a place. But lo and behold! They delivered it on April 20!!! I dived(?) into the book right away but it was just sooo good that I had to put it down for a while to cool off!!! It has all the historical details that I just find too fascinating, and not stuff that I’ve read elsewhere before.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An integrated approach to reading and understanding Scripture
*by T***M on February 21, 2025*

This “Catholic Introduction to the Bible: Old Testament” offers an integrated approach to Scripture, drawing upon the wealth of knowledge and wisdom of the late Pope Benedict XVI’s teachings from Verbum Domini (Word of God). Though its intended audience is for academic study, it is still workable for those searching for a comprehensive Old Testament Bible Study guide. You will be challenged and enlightened by those Catholic principles, rooted in the Church’s living Tradition, guided by the Holy Spirit, as you journey through the Old Testament.
