Learn: The early disciples proclaimed the Gospel by word of mouth. Later, Paul and others wrote letters to tell people about Jesus and how to live a moral life.

Catholic Youth Bible (CYB): The Catholic Letters in the New Testament are comprised of six letters; three by John, two by Peter, then one each from James and Jude. They begin on page 1641 and are called Catholic because they are written to the universal Church. They emphasize love - God's greatest and most precious gift.
