A landmark text in Catholic biblical scholarship, The Jerome Biblical Commentary has, since its original publication in 1968, been the first port of call for priests, preachers, students and scholars, as well as general readers.
Now with a foreword by Pope Francis, this third edition is essential reading for those with an existing copy on their shelf, as well as a new generation of readers looking to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the Bible.
The entire content of the commentary has been revised to bring it up-to-date with the very latest scholarship, by the leading Catholic scholars of our day. The contributors draw on a variety of both traditional and contemporary approaches and methods, and the “General Articles” section has been updated with articles on new approaches to the study of the Bible and on the interpretation of the Bible in diverse and pastoral contexts.
