We experience the Word of God in our liturgy: in the responsorial psalm, the readings, and the Gospel; yet too rarely do we venture beyond that experience. Consequently, we never really learn how Scripture, understood in the light of tradition, shapes who we are as Catholics. And we never learn how regular reading and reflection on the Word of God-Lectio Divina-can strengthen our hearts and deepen our faith. The NRSV Bible, Catholic Edition helps you respond to the call of the Word. It brings the Scriptures alive for today's reader. Features: * Clear, readable type in an attractive page layout * Anglicized English text * Topic subject headings * Textual and explanatory notes * Over 70 black and white "in-text" maps, charts, and drawings. (A synoptic guide, a comparison of similarities across the Gospels, is one of the many useful charts included in The NRSV Bible, Catholic Edition) Ideal for: * Schools * Parishes * Others needing a quality basic edition priced for bulk purchases * Individuals seeking a basic Bible
