"2009 Catholic Press Association Award Winner "
A decade after the untimely death of renowned Scripture scholar
Father Raymond E. Brown, SS, he continues to inspire and inform
scholars and preachers, students and pastoral ministers, lay and
ordained. It was only days after Father Brown's death that his
final book was published by Liturgical Press. That book, "Christ in
the Gospels of the Ordinary Sundays, " completed his six-volume
series on preaching the Scriptures, a series that had begun in the
mid-1970s with the publication of his popular "An Adult Christ at
Christmas." Those six volumes are collected here in one convenient
commemorative edition to mark the tenth anniversary of Brown's
death. Brown's work is left largely untouched, and readers will
find that his wisdom is lasting. Yet Brown, being a scholar's
scholar, would recognize the need for some enhancement in a work
being republished some thirty years after the first volume
appeared. Appropriately, then, this edition contains introductory
essays by Brown's colleagues and friends John R. Donahue, SJ, and
Ronald D. Witherup, SS, as well as useful indexes and a
bibliography of resources for preaching the word of God in the
context of the lectionary.
As Witherup notes in his preface, Brown had the rare capacity to
simplify complex biblical studies in a manner that did not 'dumb
down ' the material but allowed it to be understood by a wide
audience. . . . He did this in a fashion that was both inspiring
and educational. That very broad audience 'those who grew up with
Brown, so to speak, as well as a whole new generation of readers
and preachers of the word 'will find this book to be a source of
inspiration and knowledge that they will turn to again and
again.
"Raymond E.Brown, S.S., (1928 -1998) was the Auburn
Distinguished Professor of Biblical Studies at Union Theological
Seminary in New York City. He was author of some forty books on the
Bible and past president of three of the most important biblical
societies in the world. By appointment of two popes (Pal VI in
1972, John Paul II in 1996) Brown was a member of the Roman
Pontifical Biblical Commission. "Time" magazine called him probably
the premier Catholic Scripture scholar of the U.S."
