Kudos to the Liturgical Press for bringing this latest statement of the Pontifical Biblical Commission to the English-speaking world. . . . Teachers and theologians can find here valuable material for further reflection on the scared nature of the Bible within the community of faith. Timothy Radcliffe, Stations of the Cross, The Bible Today I thank the members of the Biblical Commission for their patient and competent effort, and I express my desire that their work may contribute to a more attentive, grateful, and joyful listening to Sacred Scripture in the Church as the Word coming from God and speaking of God for the life of the world. From the Foreword by His Eminence, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Muller "This book is a very dense document due to the subject, but it is also remarkably accessible. It is neither excessively academic nor technical, though some background in biblical studies is necessary in order to assimilate its finer points. Nonetheless, any sincere layperson with a basic understanding of the historical context of the Bible and the Church's teaching on its proper interpretation will be able to make their way through it. If the reader views the book as an orthodox course in the Bible, and commits to a sustained reading of it, it will likely bear abundant fruits."Karl Schultz
