ENJOY THE FEATURES

Have you ever wondered why the Catholic Bible has 73 books, while most Protestant Bibles have only 66?

Maybe you’ve heard the terms Deuterocanonical books or Apocrypha but never fully understood what they mean.

Maybe you know the names Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, and Maccabees, but couldn’t explain their stories, their message, or why they matter to the Catholic faith.

Or maybe you simply want to understand your Catholic Bible better without feeling like you need a theology degree to begin.

73-Page Catholic Bible Study Companion was created for exactly that.

SEE THE CATHOLIC BIBLE AS A WHOLE

The Catholic Bible contains 73 books, each belonging to the larger story of Scripture.

This beginner-friendly companion helps you see that bigger picture while taking a closer look at the seven Deuterocanonical books of the Old Testament that hold a distinctive place in the Catholic canon.

Rather than treating them as unfamiliar books tucked between more familiar pages, you’ll discover their stories, major themes, historical settings, and connections to Catholic faith and Scripture.

MEET THE 7 BOOKS EVERY CATHOLIC SHOULD KNOW

TOBIT : Faithfulness, family, marriage, prayer, and God’s providence

JUDITH : Courage, trust in God, and deliverance in the face of danger

WISDOM : Righteousness, immortality, divine wisdom, and the destiny of the faithful

SIRACH : Practical wisdom for relationships, character, worship, and everyday life

BARUCH : Repentance, exile, wisdom, and hope in God’s mercy

1 MACCABEES : Courage, persecution, religious freedom, and faithfulness to God

2 MACCABEES : Martyrdom, resurrection, prayer for the dead, and hope beyond death

BUT YOU’LL LEARN MORE THAN SEVEN BOOKS

You’ll also gain a clearer understanding of the 73-book structure of the Catholic Bible, where these seven books belong, and how they connect with the broader biblical story.

Instead of seeing Scripture as a collection of disconnected books, begin recognizing the people, events, themes, and truths that weave throughout salvation history.
