$14.95
A Guide for CatholicsA Redemptorist Pastoral Publication; Compiled by Thomas M. Santa, C.Ss.R.

The latest entry in the best-selling “Essential” series is intended to help readers understand the place of the Bible in Catholic tradition, the history of how the Bible developed, a guide to its interpretation, and its use in prayer. Also included are such helpful aids as tips for preparing for the Sunday lectionary readings, Biblical prayer services for special occasions, a suggested plan for reading the Bible, a chart of New Testament parables, and a list of helps for reading the Bible. The Catechism of the Catholic Church underscores the rationale for this book. It says: “In order to reveal himself to men...God speaks to them in human words....Through all the words of Sacred Scripture, God speaks only one single Word, his one Utterance in whom he expresses himself completely." (CCC 101–102). And the encyclical Dei Verbum (The Word of God) (1965) urges the children of the Church to read the Scriptures on a frequent basis (DV 24). This new volume in the “Essential” series will provide valuable assistance to adult Catholics who wish to develop their faith life, who wish to understand the meaning of the Bible more deeply, and who wish to make the Bible an essential part of their spiritual development. 304 pages; Paperback, Fall 2002

The Story Of The Bible: How It Came To Us
$11.95
The Bible has a story behind it. How did it come to us in its current form? Why did a number of early gospels never make it into the canon of Scripture? Which is the authentic text of the Bible? How was the Bible translated into English? What were the key issues about the Scriptures that divided Christians during the Reformation? A leading international scripture scholar, Fr. Henry Wansbrough, OSB, provides the answers to these questions and many more in this balanced, fast-paced, and entertaining account.

“Fr. Henry Wansbrough, a master of communication, takes us on a fascinating journey. With deft strokes, he shows how the Bible did not drop out of the sky in the form we have it, but emerged over several generations. Informative and enjoyable reading!”

—Jerome Kodell, OSB abbot, Subiaco Abbey, Arkansas

author, The Catholic Bible Study Handbook

“Fr. Wansbrough provides very clear and thorough explanations
of the most vexing questions about how the Bible as a book has been edited, translated, and passed down through the centuries—in short, how it has changed and yet remained substantially the same. This book is a wonderful
supplement to any introduction to the Bible.”
—Lawrence Boadt, CSPauthor, Reading the Old Testament: An Introduction
