the Divine inspiration and

wisdom and experiences

Scripture Scriptures

2 Divisions of the Bible

1. Old Testament
2. New Testament
 Old Testament
 Is composed of stories about the
Covenant between God and Israel
after they were freed by Moses
from slavery in Egypt.

The Old Testament was written before Jesus’ life.

There are many different kinds of books in the Old
Testament, including history, poetry, and prophecy.
The Old Testament contains wisdom and knowledge
about God and about ourselves. It also foreshadows
and points to Christ. Even though it was written
before Jesus came, the Old Testament is important,
and Catholics don’t ignore it.
New Testament

 Is a compilation of stories and teachings of

Jesus who opened up a new relationship with
God that eventually led to the birth of the
Church.
Who Wrote the Bible?
Was it God? Or was it human beings? The answer for Catholics is a resounding “Yes!” The Bible is the word of God in the words of
human beings. God is the primary author of the Bible, so we know that whatever Scripture asserts to be true is in fact true. When
we understand it correctly, the Bible will never lead us astray.
 Every Catholic Should Know the Bible

Even though the Church is the primary interpreter of the Bible,

every Catholic should make the Bible a part of his or her life. Even for
those who cannot read, whether because they are too young or are in
a country where literacy is uncommon, the Church proclaims the
Bible at every Mass. The Church says that Catholics should read the
Bible frequently. Catholics know this is vitally important because, in
the words of St. Jerome,
Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.

Catholics (and others) can see in the Bible God’s love letter to
human beings, and his love letter to each person. Catholics should
always be grateful for the Bible. this wonderful way not only to
know about God, but also to form a deeper relationship with God.
