Finding Your Bible: A Catholic's Guide

Why should Catholics read the Bible? Which Bible should we read? How are we to understand its language, metaphors and allegories? In clear and concise language, Timothy Schehr addresses these questions, taking the mystery--but not the magic--out of choosing, reading and praying with the Bible. He discusses the merits and limits of the available translations, how to understand the characters, images and messages, and how to ask the right questions of the text to get the most meaningful answers. Whether you are discovering the Bible for the first time or renewing an old relationship, this book is an indispensable guide for the Catholic reader.
