The Gospel of Mark: A Catholic Bible Commentary on the New Testament by Trusted Biblical Scholars | CCSS (Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture) by Mary Healy

Examine the New Testament from within the living tradition of the Catholic Church There is an increasing hunger among Catholics to study the Bible in depth and in a way that integrates Scripture with Catholic doctrine, worship, and daily life. In October 2008, a meeting of the world Synod of Bishops scheduled by Pope Benedict XVI will focus on "The Word of God in the Life and Mission of the Church." Coinciding with that meeting is the launch of the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture (CCSS), a series that responds to the desire of Catholics to access the living Word of God. The Gospel of Mark is the first of seventeen volumes, which will cover the entire New Testament. Written by trusted Catholic biblical scholars, these commentaries interpret Scripture in the light of Catholic tradition. Accessibly written yet substantive, the CCSS fills a gap in the available literature by offering commentaries that cover more than brief study guides but are less daunting than scholarly commentaries. The CCSS relates Scripture to Christian life today, is faithfully Catholic, and is supplemented by features designed to help pastoral ministers, lay readers, and students better comprehend the Bible and use it more effectively. Commentary features include: ● Biblical text from the New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE) ● References to the Catechism, the Lectionary, and related biblical texts ● Theological insights from Church fathers, saints, and popes ● Reflection and application sections for daily Christian living ● Suggested resources and an index of pastoral subjects Attractively packaged and accessibly written, the CCSS aims to help readers understand their faith more deeply, nourish their spiritual life, and share the good news with others.
