Review of Catholic Bible Study Handbook

I have not had a chance to read said book, but as I glanced at it, it does seem to work up to it's title. It does seem to be very thorough in scope. I don't think that I will be disappointed when I do get the time to read it. The title of the book is Catholic Bible Study Handbook.

Wonderful book and servicce

Thoroughly enjoying the book and am gaining insights on the Book of Job. The book is in great condition and was received promptly. Would highly recommend it.

A Very Good Companion for Bible Study Beginners

The Catholic Bible Study Handbook is a very well organized, well written work by the Benedictine Jerome Kodell. He does a wonderful job in explaining the origins of the Bible and ways to study it objectively and spiritually. The part I find the most helpful is his concise summaries of each book of the Bible, explaining what they contain and where they fit in the historical context of Judeo-Christianity. This book doesn't pull out Catholic doctrine from the Bible (if you're looking for that, see Frederick Knecht's "A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture"), but leaves that the the Bible reader. This book is very user-friendly, as someone has already stated. It is a great handbook that can be used to Catholics and non-Catholics alike.

Catholic Bible Study Handbook is reader-friendly

The Catholic Bible Study Handbook: A Popular Introduction to Studying Scripture is reader-friendly to the interested person who is not a Scripture scholar. Its format is easy to follow, with headings for each major section, as well as a comprehensive history of the Israelites and information on the background of each major writer. This book could be valuable as an aid in discussion by groups, and also contains a section on how to use the Bible as a guide for individual prayer and meditation.
