Commentary on the Catholic Douay-Rheims New Testament Exegeted from the Original Greek and Latin - Volume 1 - Gospels of Sts. Mark, Matthew, & John

Made in the tradition of Robert Sungenis' other biblical commentaries, this is Volume 1 of the four-volume series on the Douay-Rheims New Testament. Across its 760 pages you have one of the most thoroughly exegeted commentaries ever brought to the Catholic market. Working from the original Greek, with important references to the Vulgate Latin, Robert brings out things in the Gospels that you will not find in any other New Testament commentary, Catholic or Protestant.

Each verse is interpreted by the grammatical-historical method: the original Greek grammar, read with the conviction that everything in the Gospels is actual history, written by the four Evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Alongside the analysis, Robert has included over 250 paintings and images to deepen your encounter with Jesus and his apostles, from masters like Michelangelo, DaVinci, Rembrandt, and Rubens to artists you have never heard of who paint almost as well.

The commentary also gives you hundreds of cross-references to other passages; title separations between the stories for easier reading; an introduction to each Gospel; the critical Greek texts that show where the manuscripts are certain and where they are in doubt; references and translations of the Hebrew texts quoted in the New Testament; the thought of the Church Fathers and medieval theologians; references to the Catholic catechisms; papal statements and conciliar decrees; and apologetics arguments answering the anti-Catholic denominations. There is simply nothing like it, a keepsake to pass on to your children.
