About the author

The Most Reverend Bishop Frederick Justus Knecht, D.D., was the late auxiliary bishop of Freiburg in the early 1900s. His massive work, A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture, was published in 1923 by the Publisher to the Holy Apostolic See. A considerable number of bishops and archbishops thoroughly enjoyed and recommended the book, calling it "admirable" and "excellent". It was originally titled A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture for the Use of Those Who Teach Bible History, and was given the Imprimatur by Doctor Mutz, Vicar General, in 1923.

Well, I haven't really "read" it -- this is a really nice commentary on the Bible and has a wonderful concordance appendix which links the Catechism to the Scripture. Quite handy.

I didn’t like this. The commentary is not what I’m used too. I’m sure for some it’s fine but just not for me.

Wow, yup! Great intro to the Old Testament!! Excellent book! There might be better commentaries on the New Testament than this one... but still some really nice thoughts. Also good as a reference book (there's a short concordat at the end connecting the Catechism to Holy Scripture).

Easy to understand. Excellent insights I had not come across before.
