Bible Studies for Catholics

When someone asks you where the Church gets a teaching, could you show them the verse, the Greek behind it, and the Father who read it that way? Bible Studies for Catholics is built to make that possible. Robert Sungenis works through the biblical texts behind the doctrines Catholics are most often asked to defend: contraception, divorce and remarriage, homosexuality, the role of women, justification, sola Scriptura, the Eucharist, baptism, the Mass, the doctrines of Mary, the papacy, original sin, tradition, and many more.

This is not a devotional skim. Each subject is examined through word etymology and definition, textual criticism, and close contextual analysis, both synchronic and diachronic, grounded in the patristic and medieval sources. The result is a working reference for anyone who wants the scriptural and traditional basis for the major doctrines of the Catholic faith, and the confidence to stand on it.
