Customer Reviews

"I once was lost but now am found" is from the hymn "Amazing Grace."

Yes, bible study can be complex. But without it, you are lost. This is one of many views. But it is the view that makes this book valuable. Sometimes you need someone to tell you that your shoe is untied. If you are not a reader, the Catholic Church covers the whole Bible in a two-year cycle, giving you time to think about it. However, to get a better handle on what you are reading in any genre, it is best to find an annotated version or a study guide. The neat thing about this version is that it has tabs for the beginning of each book. It helps me look as if I know what I am doing. There are many helpful sections, and it would take a book just to describe them. A short list is: How to Use This Study Guide The New American Bible The Reading Guides The Reference Articles The Glossary Geography of the Biblical Lands and Maps Teaching Resources You cannot cram everything into the book, so there are extensive bibliographies and quite a few footnotes. I like to read them first and then come back to them to see what I missed. The bottom line is that your theological library and head are incomplete without this book.

Finally found a bible that helps me

I am useing it for Bible Study in my parish. I am buying another for my sister so we can study together.
