By University of Navarre The Navarre Bible: St Matthew's Gospel: Third Edition (3rd Edition) [Paperback]

The Navarre Bible #9

by University of Navarra

Part of a 12 volume set of the New Testament with extensive explanations of the meaning of the scriptural text and its implications for everyday life. The commentaries draw on a rich variety of sources - Church documents, the writings of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, and the work of prominent spiritual writers, particularly Saint Josemaria Escriva, who initiated the Navarre Bible project. The commentary appears on the same page as the Bible text, which is the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition. Each volume is self-contained with extensive introductions and notes to Old Testament prophecies. The Navarre Bible commentary is considered by many to be the best Catholic commentary on the Bible available today.

Genres: Spirituality, Religion, Catholic, Scripture, Theology

Reviews

[Richard Grebenc · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can't speak highly enough of the Navarre series. One of my two main go-to commentaries. Not a line-by-line commentary, but very substantial in especially culling the spiritual meaning of various sections and passages, heavily relying on the Fathers and St. Josemaria. I often come across insights here that I have not come across elsewhere of had not considered myself. It is not uncommon for the commentary to take more space on the page than the text of Scripture. Outstanding also are the five introduction sections (to the Bible, New Testament, Gospels, Mark, and dates of the life of Jesus). A gem of a series that all serious Catholics should have handy.

[Allen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Commentary on St. Mark's Gospel brings depth of understanding to his gospel telling heavily influenced by first hand accounts of St. Peter.

[Tom Kopff · Rating 4 out of 5]

These volumes include the RSV, the Vulgate, and commentaries laid out in a very handy fashion. I recommend it highly.

I used/read the commentary when I wanted clarification or to go deeper on something. And the commentary was always enlightening and spurred me on to deeper wonder, faith and piety.

A commentary to be both studied and meditated upon.
