My Review of "Catholic Bible Dictionary"


Scott Hahn's Catholic Bible Dictionary is a welcome addition to anyone's bookshelves who care about reading and understanding the Bible.  This is a readable dictionary filled with articles on various topics ranging from Biblical Criticism to Family to Jubilee to Liturgy to Mary to Priesthood to Typology.  And that is just the start. 

This is a Bible dictionary that's accessible, regardless one's background.  Each book of the Catholic Bible (including the seven deuterocanonical books) has its own entry.  And so this dictionary provides a very comprehensible overview.  

Hahn is one of the most reliable biblical scholars of the contemporary Catholic Church.  And this book is a corrective to growing biblical illiteracy throughout the Church catholic. 

This really is a superb tool for study that belongs on every Bible reader's shelves. 

I received this book free, from the Blogging for Books program, in exchange for my honest review.
