I'm so glad that Sister Karen Joseph loaned me her copy of this book. By introducing me to it, I further realized this is the type of book that is a must in your home library. It's a wealth of knowledge in one place. It took me a bit to get through it, but I can see referencing it often now going forward.

Good but very basic. An excellent introduction to the Bible, but--obviously--very Catholic in its orientation.
