A good Bible is essential for getting to know Jesus better! The most commonly used Catholic Bibles in the US are the New American Bible (NAB), and Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE). The New Jerusalem Bible is also a good choice, commonly used in Europe. You can try out the different versions online at BibleGateway.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) summarises all of the essential beliefs that Catholics hold. It is essential reading, we will often reference it in the Catholicism 101 classes. You can get a very cheap copy of the book from our Newman Center, or read it online at the Vatican Website.

Letters to us from Pope Francis, Pope Benedict XVI, Pope St. John Paul II, and all the other popes too! Try Laudato Si (the one about the environment).

A library of Christian texts going back nearly 2000 years to the year AD 100. Read about the Early Church and the writings of the great saints. Try St. Augustine’s Confessions for a fast paced conversion testimony.

An intense work of theology by world famous St. Thomas Aquinas. Heavy on philosophy and doctrine. Covers everything from getting drunk to Eucharistic transubstantiation.
