Dr. Schreck starts to unfold the riches of the Catholic faith with the opening sections of his Essential Catholic Catechism. The story of God's saving plan of love and redemption of the human race begins with these foundational truths: There is a God. This God reveals himself first in all he has created. And the only suitable human response is faith—believing in God who is real and who cannot deceive, as he is truth and goodness.

Dr. Alan Schreck introduces his new podcast series, based on his popular and acclaimed Essential Catholic Catechism published by TAN Books. This catechism, fully referenced to The Catechism of the Catholic Church, was reviewed and recommended by Christoph Cardinal Schoenborn, the general editor of the CCC. Through this podcast series, Dr. Schreck will highlight the beauty and power of the Catholic Church's understanding of the Gospel of Jesus as faithfully preserved and proclaimed by the Church. This life-giving truth will invite all to a deeper, richer, and livelier faith!

While John's Gospel is the summit of the revelation of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament, the letters of St. John also provide valuable insight into the work of the Holy Spirit. Also, Revelation, the last book of the Bible, is an apocalyptic work that focuses on the prophetic inspiration of its author and ends with the symbolism of the Spirit as the river of life-giving water in the heavenly Jerusalem. The epilogue of the Apocalypse declares: "The Spirit and the Bride say 'Come'... And let him who is thirsty come, let all who desires take the water of life without price" (Rev 22:17).
