“ This series promises to be spiritually and doctrinally informative, based on careful, solid biblical exegesis. The method and content of this work will be helpful to teachers of the faith at different levels and will provide a reliable guide to people seeking to deepen their knowledge and thereby nourish their faith. I strongly recommend the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture .”
Cormac Cardinal Murphy - O ’ Connor , Archbishop of Westminster
“ In preparing for the international Synod of Bishops on ‘ The Word of God in the Life and Mission of the Church ,’ Pope Benedict XVI reminded the Church that a prayerful study of the Scriptures is at the heart of the Church ’ s renewal. The Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture promises to directly serve that purpose. Drawing on sound biblical scholarship, the commentaries present the reader with the rich harvest of that study, reflecting on the message of the biblical text and engaging the life of faith from a Catholic perspective .”
Donald Senior , CP , president, Catholic Theological Union
“ A landmark achievement in theological interpretation of Scripture in and for the Church. Everything about this series is inviting and edifying, from the format, photos, background notes, and cross - references ( to Scripture and the Catechism ) to the rich exposition of the text, quotations from the Church ’ s living tradition, and reflections for contemporary life. It is a wonderful gift to the Catholic Church and a model for the rest of us. Highly recommended for all !”
Michael J . Gorman , St. Mary ’ s Seminary and University, Baltimore
“ The Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture is an ideal tool for living our faith more deeply. This extraordinary resource combines superior scholarship and a vivid, accessible style that will serve the interested layperson and the serious scholar equally well. It should be on the shelf of every committed Catholic believer. I highly recommend it .”
Charles J . Chaput , OFM Cap , Archbishop of Denver
“ When the Scripture is read in the liturgy, it is heard as a living voice. But when expounded in a commentary, it is too often read as a document from the past. This fine series unites the ancient and the contemporary by offering insight into the biblical text verse by verse as well as spiritual application to the lives of Christians today .”
Robert Louis Wilken , University of Virginia
“ This great project of a seventeen - volume commentary on the New Testament represents a much - needed approach, based on good scholarship but not overloaded with it. The frequent references to the Catechism of the Catholic Church help us to read Holy Scripture with a vivid sense of the living tradition of the Church .”
Christoph Cardinal Schönborn , Archbishop of Vienna

Editors’ Preface
The Church has always venerated the divine Scriptures just as she venerates the body of the Lord . . . . All the preaching of the Church should be nourished and governed by Sacred Scripture. For in the sacred books, the Father who is in heaven meets His children with great love and speaks with them ; and the power and goodness in the word of God is so great that it stands as the support and energy of the Church, the strength of faith for her sons and daughters, the food of the soul, a pure and perennial fountain of spiritual life .
Second Vatican Council, Dei Verbum 21
Were not our hearts burning while he spoke to us on the way and opened the scriptures to us ?
Luke 24:32
The Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture aims to serve the ministry of the Word of God in the life and mission of the Church. Since Vatican Council II , there has been an increasing hunger among Catholics to study Scripture in depth and in a way that reveals its relationship to liturgy, evangelization, catechesis, theology, and personal and communal life. This series responds to that desire by providing accessible yet substantive commentary on each book of the New Testament, drawn from the best of contemporary biblical scholarship as well as the rich treasury of the Church ’ s tradition. These volumes seek to offer scholarship illumined by faith, in the conviction that the ultimate aim of biblical interpretation is to discover what God has revealed and is still speaking through the sacred text. Central to our approach are the principles taught by Vatican II : first, the use of historical and literary methods to discern what the biblical authors intended to express ; second, prayerful theological reflection to understand the sacred text “ in accord with the same Spirit by whom it was written ” t hat is, in light of the content and unity of the whole Scripture, the living tradition of the Church, and the analogy of faith ( Dei Verbum 12 ).
The Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture is written for those engaged in or training for pastoral ministry and others interested in studying Scripture to understand their faith more deeply, to nourish their spiritual life, or to share the good news with others. With this in mind, the authors focus on the meaning of the text for faith and life rather than on the technical questions that occupy scholars, and they explain the Bible in ordinary language that does not require translation for preaching and catechesis. Although this series is written from the perspective of Catholic faith, its authors draw on the interpretation of Protestant and Orthodox scholars and hope these volumes will serve Christians of other traditions as well .
A variety of features are designed to make the commentary as useful as possible. Each volume includes the biblical text of the New American Bible ( NAB ), the translation approved for liturgical use in the United States. In order to serve r
