A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture

by Frederick Justus Knecht D.D.

This book is a great introductory Bible study all by itself - for it brings out the Catholic teachings that are hidden in Sacred Scripture! A famous book - one which received recommendations from 14 bishops when first published and which went through at least 16 editions - this commentary is not a work for scholars; but rather a very practical book for the ordinary Catholic.

Well, I haven't really "read" it -- this is a really nice commentary on the Bible and has a wonderful concordance appendix which links the Catechism to the Scripture. Quite handy.

I didn’t like this. The commentary is not what I’m used too. I’m sure for some it’s fine but just not for me.

Wow, yup! Great intro to the Old Testament!! Excellent book! There might be better commentaries on the New Testament than this one... but still some really nice thoughts. Also good as a reference book (there's a short concordat at the end connecting the Catechism to Holy Scripture).

Easy to understand. Excellent insights I had not come across before.
