This engaging commentary on the Gospel of Matthew is the fifth of
seventeen volumes in the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture
(CCSS), which will cover the entire New Testament. This volume,
like each in the series, relates Scripture to life, is faithfully
Catholic, and is supplemented by features designed to help readers
understand the Bible more deeply and use it more effectively.
Praise for the CCSS:
"These commentaries are both exegetically sound and spiritually
nourishing. They are indispensable tools for preaching, catechesis,
evangelization, and other forms of pastoral ministry."--Thomas G.
Weinandy, OFM Cap, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
The Bible is central to our faith as Catholics. It is literally the
word of God, and, along with Sacred Tradition, is one of the two
pillars upon which all our beliefs and practices rest. The Bible
Compass provides readers with the tools to study the Word of God
with confidence and purpose. This book demonstrates how to read the
Bible within the living Tradition of the Catholic Church, and it
addresses all the common questions about the Bible.
Perhaps the Christmas story has become almost too familiar. A
virgin giving birth. A child laid in a manger. Shepherds greeted by
angels. The Christmas story has become so familiar that the
profound, even shocking, nature of the incarnation might be
overlooked. But what if we had never heard the story before? What
if we were hearing it for the first time, like the first-century
Jews? These events certainly would not be taken for granted--they
would signal something new: the dawning of the long-awaited
Messiah.
This Advent, put yourself in that ancient Jewish world. Containing
an entry for each day of Advent and continuing through the
Christmas season, Dr. Ted Sri will help you to discover spiritual
treasures in the Gospels and gain a new understanding of the coming
of Christ.
Perhaps the story of Christ's birth has become almost too familiar.
We?ve heard the story so many times that it fails to shock us: the
appearances of the angel, a virgin giving birth, a child placed in
a manger, the arrival of shepherds and magi. ?But what if we had
never heard the story before?? Edward Sri asks. ?What if we were
first-century Jews hearing this plot for the first time?? Only two
Gospels give any details about the birth of the Messiah, but these
chapters are packed with allusions to Old Testament stories and
prophecies that any contemporary Jew would have recognized. Today's
reader, unfamiliar with the ancient Jewish world, misses the
significance of many details in these accounts. This book bridges
that gap, explaining the original context of every line and detail
in the biblical stories. Sri not only helps us understand an
earlier and pivotal time and place, he also brings us to a deeper
understanding of the great mystery of God's entry into the world as
one of us.
