The Navarre Bible - Old Testament 7-Volume Set

This seven-volume, hardback set of commentaries on all the books of the Old Testament gives you the complete English (Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition) and Latin (New Vulgate) texts of each book, plus extensive Catholic explanations of the scriptural texts and their implications for everyday life. Compiled by the faculty of the University of Navarre, the commentaries draw on a huge variety of sources: Church documents, the writings of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, and the work of prominent modern spiritual writers, chiefly St. Josemaria Escriva, who initiated this massive project. Each volume is self-contained, with wide-ranging general introductions, introductions to each Biblical book, a table of sources cited, maps, and informative notes. Scholarly and readable, these volumes are a comprehensive intellectual, historical, and spiritual survey of the riches of the Old Testament. The Navarre Bible Old Testament volumes contained in this set include: Pentateuch, Chronicles to Maccabees, Joshua to Kings, Wisdom Books, Psalms and Song of Solomon, Major Prophets, and Minor Prophets.Main text is 11 pt. font size with commentaries at 9.5 pt. font.
