Understanding God begins with a proper understanding of Scripture. In God's Library, Joe Paprocki, a veteran catechist and Bible authority, guides readers into a basic understanding of the 73 books that Catholics regard as the definitive written revelation of God.

In easy-to-understand language, Paprocki explains the organization of the Bible, the different genres of biblical writing, key figures in biblical history, and the methods Catholics have developed to interpret the Bible properly.
