 General Description:

A long-awaited, powerful new Bible study tool for Catholics and a must-have for every Catholic library.

The first and only concordance for the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSV-CE) of the Bible. This exhaustive reference tool contains over 15,000 words and 300,000 entries, and has listings for both the first and second editions of the RSV-CE. As easy to use as a dictionary, keywords and passages makes Scripture accessible to people of all walks of life. Durable bound hardcover.

From the forward to this book, by Dr. Scott Hahn:

"Saint Anthony of Padua is surely among the best loved of the saints in glory. He is the patron of those who search for lost objects. Artists portray him in his Franciscan habit, holding the baby Jesus.

We all call upon Saint Anthony when we're looking for something. But I invoke him today for a different reason. I recall him to you because he was a biblical scholar par excellence, with so prodigious a memory that he has been called "the Concordance."

Saint Anthony was a bit like the book you're holding in your hands. He was able to retrieve Scripture passages from the Bible at a moment's notice. Name a theme, and he could draw relevant Scriptures from many points in the biblical canon.

In fact, he was himself fond of the word "concordance" (in all its Latin equivalents) though he didn't use it to describe a book. He used it to describe a reality: the unity of the two testaments, the untiy of the whole Bible.

This book is an invaluable tool for Christians in all walks of life. It will speed the research of scholars in fields as diverse as biblical studies, theology, literary criticism, and the history of ideas. It will be a grace to lay people as they pray and ponder the Scriptures. It will empower preachers - priests and deacons - as they prepare their homilies.

This book is a sign of the times, and these are great times indeed for Catholic biblical studies. But, unlike former periods of renewal, ours is not confined by the walls of the abbeys or by the towers of the universities. Books like The Catholic Bible Concordance give us a kind of spiritual technology - interpretive elevators, to borrow a metaphor from Saint Therese of Lisieux.

May we all rise to the occasion, using tools like The Catholic Bible Concordance to become "concordances" ourselves, like Saint Anthony and so many of our ancestors in the faith."
