"A blessing offered to the whole Church, Tom Stegman's commentary presents the heart of St. Paul's message: the fullness of God's love for us that has opened up a new way of life, empowered by the intimate presence of the Holy Spirit, who shapes us more and more in the likeness of Christ. This inspiring book will encourage numerous Catholics and other Christians in understanding better and accepting more generously a truly Christ-centered existence."--__Gerald O'Collins, SJ__, Pontifical Gregorian University  
  
__Praise for the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture__   
"Coinciding with the Bishops' Synod on 'The Word of God in the Life and Mission of the Church,' this seventeen-volume commentary on the New Testament represents a much-needed approach, based on good scholarship but not overloaded with it. The frequent references to the Catechism of the Catholic Church help us to read Holy Scripture with a vivid sense of the living tradition of the Church."--__Christoph Cardinal Schönborn__, Archbishop of Vienna  
  
"The Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture is a landmark achievement in theological interpretation of Scripture in and for the Church. Everything about it is inviting and edifying, from the format, photos, background notes, and cross-references to the rich exposition of the text, quotations from the Church's living tradition, and reflections for contemporary life. It is a wonderful gift to the Catholic Church and a model for the rest of us. Highly recommended for all!"--__Michael J. Gorman__, St. Mary's Seminary and University, Baltimore  
  
"By bringing together historical background, exegetical interpretation, church tradition, theological reflection, and pastoral application, this series promises to enkindle thoughtful discussion about the implications of the New Testament for lived Christian faith in the Church today."--__Katherine Hayes__, Seminary of the Immaculate Conception

The Good Book Stall

Another in the series Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture using the New American Bible, this volume contains the apparatus that the series has adopted to make it useful to Roman Catholics, not only as a study guide, but as a means to suitable prayer and as an aid to the use of the text in the Liturgy. A substantial but not an unwieldy book, it is attractively presented, and can be dipped into to tackle St Paul’s letter section by section, as it were. The sections end with ‘Reflection’ and ‘Application’ which seek to make scripture a practical help in the day to day – a valuable resource for any Christian.
