ℹ️ Product Details ▲
The Explained Catholic Bible offers a clear, one-page introduction to every book of the Catholic Bible: all 73 in canonical order, including Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, and 1 & 2 Maccabees.
Each page guides you through four things: who wrote the book and when, what it is truly about, the main themes the Church draws from it, and the key figures you will encounter in it.
It is a reference guide to keep right beside your Bible, not a course or a workbook. Open it up, read one page, and the book you are about to read —or just heard at Mass— will make complete sense.
Print Edition · Large, high-contrast print · Works with any Catholic translation
A Complete Guide to the Catholic Bible
Every Sunday you hear the Word.
No one gave you a guide.
Here it is.
Very few Catholics are ever taught how to read Scripture. That is why the Old Testament can feel impossible, why so many reading plans stall out in Leviticus, and why a sincere question from a grandchild or a friend can leave you speechless. This guide gives you a clear starting point for every book: who wrote it, what was happening at the time, and what it means for your faith. Read a bit, open your Bible, and finally everything clicks.
I WANT MINEYou've been hearing these readings your whole life. Now you'll actually understand them.
Every Sunday there is an Old Testament reading, a Psalm, a letter, and a Gospel. You nod along, and by the time you walk out of church, you've forgotten almost all of it.
It's not that you're behind. It's simply that no one ever gave you a simple map. The Explained Catholic Bible gives you one, book by book, across all 73 books of your Bible.
Context first. Then the book.
Three simple steps for every book of the Bible. Read a little, understand a lot, and keep moving forward.
Find the book you need
The one you are about to read or just heard at Mass. Each of the 73 books has its own dedicated page.
Read the context first
Who wrote it, when, and why. Then the story or main message, in everyday language. No heavy footnotes or dense theology.
Open your Bible and it all clicks
Return to the text knowing what you're reading. Sunday's readings sound different and you can talk about your faith with confidence.
Before you order, this is what matters
The seven books others leave out
Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, and 1 & 2 Maccabees are in your Bible, but missing from most guides. Here, you get all of them.
Written for Catholics
Every page is rooted in the Catholic Bible and how the Church reads it—not a Protestant guide with a cross stamped on the cover.
A companion, not a substitute
It sits right alongside the Bible you already own and works with any Catholic translation: the guide gives you the context, and your Bible gives you the text.
Ships in 3 to 5 days
Your order arrives at your door in 3 to 5 days, with free shipping on 2 or more copies.
Why Catholics choose this guide instead of just any guide
Most Bible guides are written for Protestants and cover 66 books. Your Bible has 73.
The Explained Catholic Bible covers your entire Bible, with context first, so what you read and hear at Mass finally makes sense.

What our readers are saying
Your first thirty days
You don't need an hour a day. Start with just a few minutes and build from there.
Start with this Sunday's Gospel
Look up the book behind this week's reading. Read the page, then open your Bible. You'll see how much more you actually catch.
Sometimes, the first step is simply understanding what you already hear at Mass.
Push past Leviticus
Pick the book you always get stuck on and read its summary before starting. Knowing what you're looking for changes everything.
A few minutes a day are enough to build a habit you can actually keep.
Discover the books you never knew
Explore Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, and Maccabees—the books most guides skip right over.
The goal isn't to rush. It's to understand a little more every time you open it.
Be ready when they ask
When a child, grandchild, or friend asks you about your faith, you'll have an answer ready.
You don't need to have all the answers. You just need a starting point, and now you have one.
30-Day Guarantee
Read it, highlight it, take it to church. If it doesn't help you better understand your Bible, email us within 30 days of delivery and we'll refund your money.
