Description

Stunned by Scripture tells the compelling story of how the Bible itself led former Protestant pastor Dr John Bergsma to the Catholic Church. Once sceptical of Catholic teachings such as devotion to Mary, the papacy, confession, and the Eucharist, Bergsma began an eighteen-month journey of honest study that repeatedly surprised him with the depth of biblical support for these doctrines.

Weaving his personal conversion story together with clear and accessible explanations of Scripture, Bergsma examines seven key areas of Catholic belief that are often misunderstood or challenged. With clarity and humility, he shows how the Bible not only supports these teachings but illuminates them in a coherent and deeply rooted way.

Written in an engaging and approachable style, this book equips Catholics to better understand, explain, and defend the biblical foundations of their faith, while also offering a thoughtful resource for those exploring Catholicism from other Christian traditions.

A powerful testimony to the unity of Scripture and Catholic teaching.

This book is imported from the St Paul Center - Emmaus Road Publishing in the US, ensuring exceptional quality.
