A former Presbyterian pastor, he joined the Catholic Church in 2001 while studying for his doctorate at the University of Notre Dame. |
Dr. Bergsma has been featured regularly on Relevant Radio and has shared his conversion story with EWTN's The Journey Home. He is the author of Bible Basics for Catholics, Surprised by Scripture: How the Bible Made Me Catholic, and the newly-released (and sold out!)
