Sirach - (Paperback or Softback)

Examine the Old Testament from within the living tradition of the Catholic ChurchThe seventeen New Testament volumes in the successful Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture series have been widely acclaimed. The series recently expanded to include readable yet substantive Old Testament commentaries that integrate the best of contemporary biblical scholarship with the traditional understanding of the Old Testament books as prophesying and prefiguring Christ.In Sirach, Andr? Villeneuve makes a lesser-known deuterocanonical book accessible to readers. Drawing connections between Sirach, ancient Jewish and Christian commentaries, the theology of St. Thomas Aquinas, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Villeneuve demonstrates that Sirach is a treasure trove of enduring wisdom that continues to speak to every age.Commentary features include: - Biblical text from the RSV-2CE- Biblical cross-references and Catechism and Lectionary references- Helpful sidebars that present biblical background and quotations from Church documents, Church Fathers, and saints- Reflection and application sections for daily Christian living- Suggested resources and an index of pastoral subjects- Sections that show how Old Testament passages are fulfilled in Christ and the New CovenantWritten from a standpoint of faith in the Holy Spirit's inspiration of Scripture, CCSS Old Testament commentaries are designed for preaching, teaching, and applying Scripture to Christian life today. They are packed with features that make them particularly useful to those doing ministry in Catholic parishes. General editors for the series are Mary Healy (Sacred Heart Major Seminary), Mark Giszczak (Augustine Institute), and Peter S. Williamson (Sacred Heart Major Seminary).
