Bible News

Here is a roundup of a few pieces of Bible news of note over the past couple of weeks.

• Ignatius Press will be publishing the Didache Bible on December 15th. This Bible will use the Revised Standard Version – Second Catholic Edition translation and the commentary will be directly from the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Odds are high this will be an excellent version and I can’t wait for its publication.
• Lighthouse Catholic Media has an interesting combo pack available which includes Bible Basics for Catholics by Dr. John Bergsma and  a New Testament in the RSV-2CE version all for $8.
• The St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology has announced a new addition to their Journey Through Scripture program with The Bible and Prayer. Stay tuned for further information on when this program will be given in Nashville.
• Liturgical Press will be publishing The Inspiration and Truth of Sacred Scripture: The Word that Comes from God and Speaks of God for the Salvation of the World on November 15th. This is a document of the Pontifical Biblical Commission that will cover topics such as
  1.    The inspiration of Sacred Scripture and the exploration of its divine provenance
  2.    The truth of the Word of God, emphasizing the message about God and his project of salvation
  3.    Challenges that arise from the Bible itself, on account of certain aspects that seem inconsistent with its quality of being the Word of God
