About the series: The Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture (CCSS) implements the theological principles for interpreting Scripture taught by Vatican II, reading Scripture in its canonical context and interpreting it in the light of Catholic tradition. These readable, informative commentaries draw on the best of contemporary Catholic biblical scholarship and are written from a standpoint of lively faith. They respond to the desire of Catholics to study the Bible in depth and in a way that integrates Scripture with Catholic doctrine, worship, and daily life.

Accessibly written yet substantive, the CCSS fills a gap in the available literature by offering commentaries that provide more than brief study guides but are less daunting than academic works. The seventeen-volume series will cover the entire New Testament and will help readers rediscover Scripture as a living word in which God himself is present. It will appeal to lay and ordained Catholics involved
