Examine the Old Testament from within the living tradition of the Catholic Church
The New Testament volumes in the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture series (CCSS) have been widely acclaimed. The series now includes readable yet substantive Old Testament commentaries that integrate the best of contemporary biblical scholarship with the traditional understanding of the Old Testament books as prophesying and prefiguring Christ.
Commentary features include:
● Careful exegesis of the biblical text from the perspective of Catholic faith
● In the Light of Christ feature that considers how Old Testament passages are fulfilled in Christ and the New Covenant
● Reflection and Application sections for daily Christian living
● Biblical Background and Living Tradition sidebars that include quotations from Church Fathers, saints, and Church documents
● Biblical, Catechism, and Lectionary cross-references
● Suggested resources and an index of pastoral subjects
● Biblical text from the RSV-2CE
In Genesis, respected scholar and popular speaker Mary Healy offers a detailed yet accessible interpretation of each passage of Genesis. She opens up the incomparable riches of this book as the beginning of the story of salvation and the foundation of biblical doctrines concerning God, creation, human nature, sexuality and marriage, sin, and God's covenant with Israel. Drawing on Christian tradition, she shows how types and foreshadowing in Genesis point forward to the fulfillment of God's plan in Christ.
Written from a standpoint of faith in the Holy Spirit's inspiration of Scripture, CCSS Old Testament commentaries are designed for preaching, teaching, and applying Scripture to Christian life today. General editors for the series are Mary Healy (Sacred Heart Major Seminary), Mark Giszczak (Augustine Institute), and Peter S. Williamson (Sacred Heart Major Seminary).
