Familiarity often breeds contempt… or at least boredom, and the readings for Sundays and feast days in the church calendar are familiar. So how can we keep the transforming word of God from lulling our minds and hearts like a warm bath, having little or no effect to encourage us to drift into daydream? One answer is to listen, and that is what this book is about: preparing to listen. For only if we have been mulling the words of Scripture for a while, allowing them to seep into our subconscious, can we be fully attentive when we hear them again at Mass. Another answer is to read the passages we are about to hear in a new and different language, one that forces us to sit up and take notice and think, ôOh, thatÆs what the author was trying to say." And a third answer is to get ourselves a guide to the text, someone who has studied the Bible and spent her professional lifetime trying to navigate and explain it. This transforming Word offers all three: Preparation new translation and an experienced guide. Alice Camille is a serious student and award-winning writer on the Scripture who makes God's word come alive in new and exciting ways. The Message: Catholic/Ecumenical Edition is a fresh, contemporary, compelling, and faith-filled American English translation from the ancient languages by Eugene Peterson, with the additional Deuterocanonical writings translated by William Griffin. And the preparation will be done by you, whether you are lay or ordained homilist or member of the congregation, Bible expert or neophyte. This volume contains all the readings in the Roman Catholic Lectionary for Cycle C. through 2025. Companion volumes are available for Cycles A and B. Book jacket.

The Message's unique verse-numbering system makes it an ideal Bible study companion.

More than a generation has passed since the appearance of the last major Catholic Bible dictionary. It has been a fertile generation for biblical scholarship, an eventful time for biblical archaeology, and a fruitful time for the Church’s interpretation of the Bible. It is time for a new resource. Scott Hahn, internationally renowned theologian and biblical scholar, has inspired millions with his insight into the Catholic faith. Now he brings us this important reference guide, written specifically for Catholics, which contains more than five thousand clear and accessible entries and covers a wide range of people, places, and topics. From Genesis to Revelation, the whole of salvation history is presented and explained in smart, easy-to-understand prose. Catholic Bible Dictionary is an invaluable source of information, insight, and guidance for Catholics and others who are interested in enriching their understanding of Sacred Scripture. Scott Hahn draws from two millennia of scholarship to create an accessible and comprehensive tool for deeper and more rewarding biblical study.
