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.

Magnificent,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Navarre Bible: St. Luke (The Navarre Bible: New Testament) (Paperback)
This whole series is magnificent. I gave it to a monastery who said they had "never seen anything like it" and "it is never out of use". If I were stranded on a desert island and allowed only one set of books, this would be it.

Magnificent set of commentaries,

This review is from: The Navarre Bible: St. Luke (The Navarre Bible: New Testament) (Paperback)
The Navarre Bible commentary series is very comprehensive and a great devotional guide. Each page contains the Latin text, vernacular text and commentary. I chose the Gospel of Luke review because I was recently greatly helped in my understanding of the passage in Lk. 16 stating "make friends with the mammon of iniquity." This is difficult to understand and the Navarre Bible explains it in simple language.The section headings for passages is also very useful, for example, the aforementioned verse occurs during Christ's famous journey to Jerusalem. This sheds a lot of light for meditation on the gospel texts.
5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent edition of St. Luke.,
This review is from: The Navarre Bible: St. Luke (The Navarre Bible: New Testament) (Paperback)
The Navarre College's commentary and text of the Gospel of St. Luke is an excellent rendition of this particular book of the Bible. Featuring both the Latin Vulgate and the English translation, along with a great deal of selected commentaries, many of which are from Jose Maria Escrivá.This edition is excellent, making it ideal for the casual reader, the Bible study, and the Latin scholar alike.
