Synopsis

God Reveals: An Introduction to the Bible offers a comprehensive yet approachable overview of the Bible, helping students deepen their relationship with Jesus while gaining a solid understanding and appreciation of God's Word. Designed as a companion to both the Old Testament and New Testament, this textbook takes the students through salvation history, explaining how these events were recorded in the inspired seventy-three books of the Bible. They learn how the Church determined the canon of the Bible and how the Bible is the "Book of the Church."

Supporting Course I of the USCCB Curriculum Framework, God Reveals never strays from the truth that "through all the words of Sacred Scripture, God speaks only one single Word" (CCC, 102) and that Word is Christ. Comprised of eight chapters, the text has been designed to be taught in one semester, allowing for each chapter to be covered over a two-week period.

Input from Catholic high school theology teachers, students, and educational experts shaped this text, ensuring a student-friendly design and a portable 6" x 9" format that's easy to carry and features:

• Inspiring artwork--both classical and contemporary--opens each chapter, encouraging spiritual reflection and further study.
• Focus questions engage students with the chapter's core theme, reinforced throughout the chapter in multiple ways to cater to diverse learners.
• Bolded vocabulary terms with definitions in the margins and glossary enhance understanding.
• End-of-section assessments include reading comprehension, vocabulary, and personal reflection questions check students' understanding.
• "Pull-out" sections offer fresh perspectives on each chapter's objective.
• Enrichment text referenced in footnotes provide opportunities for students who want to go deeper into the material or for an honors-level course.
• Chapter summaries restate the focus question, provide a review, feature a faithful disciple profile, and conclude with a prayer connected to the content of the chapter.
• Five creative student project options adapt to various learning styles (essays, art projects, oral presentations, and so on) and class formats, such as block scheduling and group assignments.
• Online Resources: a wide variety of classroom resources including videos, PowerPoints, handouts, crossword puzzles, reading guides, and tests are available on the Ave Maria Press classroom resource website.

God Reveals supports the mission of evangelizing catechesis offered by the USCCB's Institute on the Catechism: to proclaim the core message of the Gospel, to accompany students on their journey of faith, and to send out students as missionary disciples who witness to the Good News in word and deed.

((c) 2024) In conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the USCCB Curriculum Framework.
