Navarre Bible: Acts of the Apostles

The Navarre Bible #12

by University of Navarra, M. Adams

The Navarre Bible New Testament commentaries offer extensive explanations of the meaning of the scriptural text and its implications for everyday life. The commentaries draw on a rich variety of sources - Church documents, the writings of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, and the work of prominent spiritual writers, particularly Saint Josemaria Escriva, who initiated the Navarre Bible project. The commentary appears on the same page as the Bible text, which is the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition. Each volume is self-contained with extensive introductions and notes to Old Testament prophecies. The Navarre Bible commentary is considered by many to be the best Catholic commentary on the Bible available today.

Genres: Catholic, Religion, Theology, Scripture, Nonfiction

Reviews

[Richard Grebenc]

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.

I finished (finally!) the Acts of the Apostles and really learned a lot from the Navarre commentary. I have really felt closely drawn to St. Paul from reading Acts and am trying to discern which of his epistles to begin next with the Navarre commentary. If you all have any suggestions, please let me know...I am thinking about 1st and 2nd Corinthians or Romans...as I have never read them in the Navarre format.

El mejor libro de aventuras de todos los tiempos.

Great commentary!

[Dim Bulb]

Like all the volumes in the series this is a good introductory commentary focusing both on doctrine and devotion.

Another fine commentary in the Navarre Bible collection. I would love to have the entire series.
