Kerygma: Read and Understand the Catholic Bible Do you want to read the Bible but don't know where to start? Do you give up after a few chapters because the text feels obscure or difficult to follow? Kerygma was designed for you. The complete Catholic Bible in your pocket Kerygma includes all 73 books of the Catholic Bible: the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the deuterocanonical books often missing from other apps (Tobit, Judith, Maccabees, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch).
