Paperback The Catholic Bible Third Edition Personal Study Edition #4610

The Catholic Bible: Personal Study Edition is the best introduction to the Bible for Catholics.

One study Bible doesn't fit all, so Oxford publishes Catholic editions to suit the needs of new and seasoned Scripture students alike. The Personal Study Edition is ideal for the beginners, whether it's used within the context of the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults or other such parish-based scripture education programs. It provides a wealth of background information in a single volume that informs readers without overwhelming them. The Second Edition features all new callouts in the biblical text, a revised Reading Guide and enlarged section introductions and introductory essays on topics such as how to read the Bible. The Questions for Discussion that follow each book's section in the Reading Guide are newly revised and expanded. They focus on these themes: Group Sharing/Discussion, In Our Lives, and Individual/Personal Reflection/Action. In addition, there's a glossary to terms that may be unfamiliar to some readers, the Sunday and weekday lectionary readings, a select NAB concordance, and an indexed section of New Oxford Bible Maps.

This unique resource for beginning and intermediate Scripture students and RCIA participants is better than ever, with the addition of background essays, the weekday Lectionary readings,and a select 70-page NAB Concordance.

Key features include a comprehensive study system, whose core is a 479 page reading guide. The guide is a book by book survey of the Scriptures that includes charts, line drawing maps, and discussion questions; Sunday Lectionary Readings; 15 page Glossary defines technical terms; 36 pages of accurate full color New Oxford Bible maps with index.

A one-volume self-learning tool, with notes, essays, maps and more, all keyed to the Bible text.
