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.
