This Sunday at our meeting I’ll be speaking on English language versions of Scriptures. In a happy coincidence over at the Catholic Bibles Blog there is a contest running from now until Sunday for the chance to win one of the versions I’ll be mentioning, The New African Bible. In addition a copy of Mary Sperry’s Scripture in the Parish: A Guide for Catholic Ministry will also be given away. So be sure to visit this excellent site and leave a comment with your name for a chance to win these books.
