Publisher's Description

This ebook cannot be sold to the United Kingdom. Are Catholics biblical illiterates?; So goes the frequent; question, proving that myths die hard. But Catholics ought; to be able to answer the charge made by many non-Catholics; in this regard. This book is a response to Fundamentalist; critics and an explanation of the Catholic biblical; tradition. The Catholic Church and the; Bible is a significant scriptural study; guide, published from a Catholic perspective and; particularly keyed to the new Catechism of the Catholic; Church. The well-planned, straight-forward text is; clearly outlined to make information easy to find and; understand. Main topics include: The Catholic; understanding of the Bible God's Word and its; purpose in the Church A biblical theology of the; Mass, the place of the Bible in the Sacred Liturgy; A question-and-answer section that deals with; pertinent and popular inquiries made by Catholics and; non-Catholics alike This work should be; heartily welcomed by both clergy and laity, for Father; Stravinskas sheds new light on Catholic Bible study by; writing with candor, clarity and scriptural backing. This; is ideal for high schools and RCIA programs. "An; excellent tool for the Catholic apologist. The reader has; everything in one place: pithy answers plus biblical and; magisterial citations. Fr. Stravinskas is the best; priest-apologist in the country." -Karl; Keating, Author, Catholicism and; Fundamentalism Fr. Peter M.J.; Stravinskas is the well-known editor of the; The Catholic Answer magazine, a contributing; editor to National Catholic Register, and has; written over 500 articles for numerous Catholic; publications.
