Reviews

[Richard Grebenc · Rating 5 out of 5]

The complete Navarre Bible series should be in every Catholic library, in fact, every Christian library, especially those who have a particular interest in biblical studies. A fine, concise introduction is followed by copious commentary relying greatly on the Fathers, great saints, and Josemaria Escriva.

This book is particularly valuable in that it contains an introduction to St. Paul that includes a brief bio, and overview of all his epistles, and an intro to his theology. Worth the price of the book alone.
