"For twenty centuries, no other book has been studied, meditated upon, and internalized through prayer as much as this one. Dr. Hahn has not only done this, but he has also studied the works of many generations of Christians and Jews who preceded him. He has then gathered the best of his knowledge to enrich your reading. As Catholics, we must become experts in the Scriptures. We must know the Bible well because we are thirsty for abundant life, because to know Jesus is exactly that. Scott Hahn accomplishes a magnificent task in nourishing his readers with the Word of God through this guide of exceptional usefulness."
