About
Examine the Old Testament from within the living tradition of the Catholic Church
The seventeen New Testament volumes in the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture series have been widely acclaimed. The series now expands to include readable Old Testament commentaries that integrate the best of contemporary biblical scholarship with the traditional understanding of the Old Testament as prophesying and prefiguring Christ.
Commentary features include:
● Biblical text from the New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)
● References to the Catechism, the Lectionary, and related biblical texts
● Quotations from Church documents, Church Fathers, and saints
● Reflection and application sections for daily Christian living
● Suggested resources and an index of pastoral subjects
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. Accessibly written yet substantive, they are packed with features that make them particularly useful to those doing ministry in Catholic parishes.
General editors for the series are Mary Healy (Sacred Heart Major Seminary), Mark Giszczak (Augustine Institute), and Peter S. Williamson (Sacred Heart Major Seminary).
Endorsements
"Daniel Keating provides more than a reliable and readable guide to the book of Ezekiel. Through his judicious selection of biblical intertexts, early Christian interpretations, and Church traditions, he reveals and illuminates the book's many exegetical puzzles and theological challenges as well as its significance for modern people of faith. This is a welcome addition to the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture."
William Tooman, professor of Hebrew Bible and ancient Judaism, University of St. Andrews
"Keating's work on Ezekiel provides clarity on a challenging Old Testament prophet! The reader of his commentary will find it useful on several levels."
Donna Petter, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
Praise for the CCSS Series
"The New Testament volumes in this series have served me as a constant resource: deeply scholarly, firmly in touch with the Catholic tradition, and impressively readable and teachable. But among Christians today, the Old Testament often is neglected or treated as unintelligible--with the result being a tragic impoverishment of faith. The same qualities that have set this series apart will be on display in its commentaries on the Old Testament. All Catholics should have these trustworthy volumes at hand."
Matthew Levering, James N. Jr. and Mary D. Perry Chair of Theology, Mundelein Seminary
"The Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture is always my first recommendation to homilists, catechists, Bible study facilitators, and anyone wanting to go deeper in studying the Bible. It is an outstanding work of Catholic scholarship, combining contemporary biblical research with ancient tradition, theological reflection, and pastoral insight. Each volume is solid, accessible, and applicable to the life of Christian discipleship. Editors Mary Healy, Mark Giszczak, and Peter Williamson have given the Church in our time a great gift that will continue to impact our ecclesial mission and ongoing renewal for generations to come."
Stephen J. Binz, scholar, writer, speaker at Bridge-B.com, and author of Threshold Bible Study
