The Navarre Bible: The Major Prophets

The Navarre Bible #6

by University of Navarra

This volume of the Navarre Bible commentaries sheds light on the four “major” prophets of the Old Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel. In the language of the Bible, the words “prophet”, “prophecy” etc. have quite a broad meaning, but all refer primarily to the idea of “speaking in the name of God”. While each of these books of the Old Testament is unique in its message, there are three points that they all stress – belief in God, the future Messianic age, and ethical and social teaching. Like all the books in the Navarre series, this edition will help to deepen your understanding of these sacred texts.

Reviews

[Damon]

A tradition based study bible with the RSV-CE (Revised Standard Version - Catholic Edition) translation. It contains multitudes of excerpts from homilies written by such holy men as St. John Chrysostom, St. Jose Marie Escriva, Pope John Paul II, Cardinal Joseph Ratizinger, etc... An in depth compilation of the prominent writings from our Church leaders on the Scriptures. Each book begins with a thorough explanation of the historical, geographical, political, and religious settings of the book and author when it was written.

This was an outstanding study guide. It took some time to work through it but after awhile it was like curling up for a discussion with an old friend.

I used it as support during a class on the prophets; it was more readable and informative than one of the required texts for the class. This book will help you glean the most out of your study of the prophets.

A theological/devotional commentary. A good place to begin a study of the Major Prophets.
