Unfolding Sacred Scripture: How Catholics Read the Bible invites readers to explore the distinctive Catholic approach to Scripture. In the first part of the book, Michael Cameron delves into the Church's tradition of biblical interpretation, explaining its understanding of the Bible as the sacred and revealed Word of God. Readers learn how Catholics interpret Scripture within the community and discover ways to engage with this living Word personally.
The second part of the book offers a guided tour of major biblical themes and narratives, complemented by practical exercises that deepen comprehension and appreciation. Designed for Catholics who wish to grow more comfortable with the Bible, this engaging resource bridges the gap between Lectionary readings at Mass and the broader biblical story.
Perfect for liturgical ministers, educators, and anyone interested in a deeper understanding of the Bible in Catholic life.
