Interesting and enlightening Catholic viewpoints

Brown tells Catholic readers much they probably don't know about the early formation of the gospel messages, and his text is filled with interesting information coupled with thoughtful reflection and commentary. Brown even includes the "introduction" on how to read scripture, from the official Vatican document.You will learn about the three stages of gospel formation, how reading any text in a literal way simply is silly, and how the Church encourages Catholics to read the gospels through the many "lenses" we now have available.
