DEDICATION
To my wife, Janet,
who is my constant companion and best friend
in the study and teaching of the Bible
in our home and in the
Catholic Church
and
To Charles and Frances Raymy dad and mom
who taught me to love, study, and obey
the Sacred Scriptures
(2 Timothy 3:14-17)
To Ricardo Cardinal Vidal,
my friend and Archbishop of Cebu, the Philippines,
for his hospitality and for reading
and approving the manuscript for this book
To my friend Mark Brumley, whose countless hours
of tireless reading and editing helped
make this book a reality
Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ .
ST. JEROME
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life, in his name .
JOHN 20:30-31
