The Holy Bible narrates God’s creation, covenant, judgment, and saving action from Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Israel through the prophets and the coming of Jesus Christ. Israel’s story includes the exodus, Sinai covenant, settlement of the Promised Land, monarchy, exile, return, Temple worship, wisdom teaching, and struggles with idolatry and injustice. Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Sirach, and related writings explore prayer, repentance, suffering, moral formation, creation, and the fear of the Lord.

The Gospels proclaim Jesus’ teaching, healing, mercy, passion, resurrection, and Eucharistic mission; Acts follows the Spirit-led expansion of the Church from Jerusalem to Rome. Paul’s letters and the Catholic Epistles address faith, justification, holiness, Christian freedom, marriage, communal discipline, suffering, reconciliation, care for the poor, and perseverance. Revelation culminates in judgment, the defeat of evil, and the descent of the new Jerusalem, where God dwells with humanity and death, sorrow, and pain are abolished.
