Examine the New Testament from within the living tradition of the Catholic ChurchThere is an increasing hunger among Catholics to study the Bible in depth and in a way that integrates Scripture with Catholic doctrine, worship, and daily life. Second Corinthians is the fourth of seventeen volumes in the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture (CCSS), a new series that will cover the entire New Testament and interprets Scripture from within the living tradition of the Church. 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 subjectsAttractively 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.
Thomas D. Stegman, SJ (1963-2023; PhD, Emory University), served as dean of the Boston College School of Theology and Ministry. He is the author of The Character of Jesus: The Linchpin to Paul's Argument in 2 Corinthians.
