The Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture richly provides what has for so long been lacking among contemporary scriptural commentaries. Its goal is to assist Catholic preachers and teachers, lay and ordained, in their ministry of the Word. Moreover, it offers ordinary Catholics a scriptural resource that will enhance their understanding of Gods Word and thereby deepen their faith. Thus these commentaries, nourished on the faith of the Church and guided by scholarly wisdom, are both exegetically sound and spiritually nourishing.

Thomas G. Weinandy, OFM Cap , United States Conference of Catholic Bishops

This could be the first commentary read by a pastor preparing a text and could be read easily by a Sunday School teacher preparing a text, and it would be an excellent commentary for a college Bible class.... The Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture will prove itself to be a reliable, Catholicbut ecumenically open and respectfulcommentary.

Scot McKnight , Jesus Creed blog

This commentary series should meet a need that has long been pointed out: a guide to Scripture that will be both historically responsible and shaped by the mind of the Churchs tradition. It promises to be a milestone in the recovery of a distinctively Catholic approach to exegesis.

Aidan Nichols, OP , University of Oxford; Fellow of Greyfriars, Oxford

There is a great hunger among Catholic laity for a deeper understanding of the Bible. The Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture fills the need for a more in-depth interpretation of Scripture. I am very excited to be able to recommend this series to our Bible Study groups around the world.

Gail Buckley , founder and director, Catholic Scripture Study International (www.cssprogram.net)

Coinciding with the Bishops Synod on The Word of God in the Life and Mission of the Church, this great project of a seventeen-volume commentary on the New Testament represents a much-needed approach, based on good scholarship but not overloaded with it. The frequent references to the Catechism of the Catholic Church help us to read Holy Scripture with a vivid sense of the living tradition of the Church.

Christoph Cardinal Schnborn , Archbishop of Vienna

To my wife, Marsha Daigle-Williamson, and to my mother, Beulah Pederson Williamson, with gratitude and love
