The Gospel of John

Examine the New Testament from within the living tradition of the Catholic Church In this addition to the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture, two well-respected New Testament scholars interpret the Gospel of John in its historical and literary setting as well as in light of the Church's doctrinal, liturgical, and spiritual tradition. They unpack the wisdom of the Fourth Gospel for the intellectual and spiritual transformation of its readers and connect the Gospel with a range of witnesses throughout the whole history of Catholicism. The CCSS relates Scripture to Christian life today, is faithfully Catholic, and is supplemented by features designed to help pastoral ministers, lay readers, and students better comprehend the Bible and use it more effectively. Commentary features include: Biblical text from the New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE) References to the Catechism, the Lectionary, and related biblical texts Theological insights from Church fathers, saints, and popes Reflection and application sections for daily Christian living Suggested resources and an index of pastoral subjects Attractively packaged and accessibly written, the CCSS aims to help readers understand their faith more deeply, nourish their spiritual life, and share the good news with others.
