Description
Finally, a fresh and unique approach to reading the Bible for the millions of Catholics who don't know where to begin . . . Joe Paprocki, a veteran catechist and Bible authority, guides readers into a basic understanding of "God's Library"-the collection of seventy-three books that Catholics regard as the definitive written revelation of God. In easy-to-understand language, he explains the organization of the Bible, the different genres of biblical writing, key figures in biblical history, and the methods Catholics have developed to interpret the Bible properly. He shows beginners how to use commentaries, concordances, footnotes and cross-references, and other valuable tools of Bible study. Eight bookmarks are included to help readers locate the primary sections of the Bible. " [A] fine, accessible, and useful first introduction into Holy Scripture." - Walter Brueggemann, emeritus professor of Old Testament, Columbia Theological Seminary " Paprocki has contributed a valuable and welcome addition to the repertoire of materials available to the lay reader who is just beginning to explore the Bible. God's Library is a sure and trustworthy guide." -Rev. Donald Senior, CP President, Catholic Theological Union
