Biblical Foundations of Catholic Doctrine

Catholic Catechesis

Every Catholic doctrine has its roots in Sacred Scripture. These guides provide the biblical grounding, with NABRE verses and Catechism references, for the great teachings of the Church.

«All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness.»

2 Timothy 3:16 · NABRE

At God in My Spirit, every article is grounded in NABRE — the New American Bible Revised Edition approved for use in the United States — with connections to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Our goal is simple: to show that the Catholic faith is not added to Scripture, but flows from it — including from the seven books that belong to the complete Catholic canon.

Witnesses of the Faith

Biblical Figures in the Catholic Tradition

Patriarchs, prophets and apostles — their lives and writings interpreted through the lens of Catholic theology, typology and the Catechism.

Defend the Faith

Apologetics from the Complete Bible
