Book Description

June 1, 1999 1889334219 978-1889334219 Standard ed
This volume helps you make the first five books of the Old Testament a vital part of your spiritual reading and practical growth in the Christian life. It contains the full English and Latin texts of these books, along with extensive and faithfully Catholic commentaries. Like other volumes in the world-renowned Navarre Bible series, these commentaries draw on Church documents, the exegesis of Fathers and Doctors of the Church, and the works of contemporary spiritual writers — particularly St. Josemaría Escrivá, who initiated the Navarre Bible project.

5.0 out of 5 stars This series provides. . . February 18, 2004
. . .a desperately needed resource for the serious Catholic Scripture student.

Now that the Navarre Bible New Testament project has been completed, the editors have turned their attention to the Old Testament. This volume "Pentateuch" is the first result of that effort.

The primary text is the Catholic version of the widely regarded "Revised Standard Version". Included as well is the New Latin Vulgate. Sandwiched between is excellent expository verse-by-verse commentary on the Scripture text. The commentary is taken from a conservative, tradition, yet scholarly Catholic perspective.

Very Highly Recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have April 27, 2003
By Mama M
Excellent commentaries!
I'm a college student and find the whole collection of the Navarre Bible to be a must have, not only for people of my age, but any age group!!!! These commentaries give you a wonderful insight to understanding the Bible. Great for Bible studies or simple personal spiritual reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Modern yet traditional. October 10, 2005
The distinguishing strength of the Navarre Bible series is the collection of explanatory commentary in the footnotes accompanying nearly every passage. The commentary includes the great "Church Fathers" from the early centuries, but also includes more modern findings of archeology and exegesis (without veering into the heretical or skeptical). The commentary is refreshingly objective about ambiguities without suggesting that those ambiguities create doubt about the divine origina and authority of scripture.
