This revised and expanded edition of A Catholic Guide to the Bible is particularly helpful to readers who may have been intimidated in the past by the Bible, overwhelmed by difficult passages, strange names, stories that don't seem relevant to life today, and the portrayal of unfamiliar customs and practices.

Drawing on more than 30 years of experience as a priest and Catholic educator, Father Lukefahr offers pertinent historical background for each of the 73 books of the Bible. He provides information about the author, the literary style of the work, and the theological interpretation of selected passages based on the latest Scripture scholarship and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
