The Navarre Bible Pentateuch Texts and Commentaries This text is currently being used for research and teaching in the Bible study on Genesis. It is invaluable in indepth discussion and explanations of the chapters we are studying in that it helps clarify questions and set our thoughts on the paths that the Church leads us on. I recommend it highly to anyone who is desiring light on their journey throughout the Pentateuch.
Modern yet traditional. The distinguishing strength of the Navarre Bible series is the collection of explanatory commentary in the footnotes accompanying nearly every passage. The commentary includes the great "Church Fathers" from the early centuries, but also includes more modern findings of archeology and exegesis (without veering into the heretical or skeptical). The commentary is refreshingly objective about ambiguities without suggesting that those ambiguities create doubt about the divine origina and authority of scripture.
This series provides. . . . . .a desperately needed resource for the serious Catholic Scripture student.
Now that the Navarre Bible New Testament project has been completed, the editors have turned their attention to the Old Testament. This volume "Pentateuch" is the first result of that effort.
The primary text is the Catholic version of the widely regarded "Revised Standard Version". Included as well is the New Latin Vulgate. Sandwiched between is excellent expository verse-by-verse commentary on the Scripture text. The commentary is taken from a conservative, tradition, yet scholarly Catholic perspective.
Very Highly Recommended
A Must Have Excellent commentaries! I'm a college student and find the whole collection of the Navarre Bible to be a must have, not only for people of my age, but any age group!!!! These commentaries give you a wonderful insight to understanding the Bible. Great for Bible studies or simple personal spiritual reading.
