Defending
the Deuterocanonicals
by James Akin. When Catholics and Protestants talk about "the Bible,"
the two groups actually have two different books in mind.
Divino Afflante Spiritu
Encyclical of Pope Pius XII, On Promoting Biblical Studies,
Commemorating the Fifteenth Anniversary of Providentissimus Deus.
Inspiration of
the Bible
Catholic Encyclopedia article.
Old
Testament Essential to Know Jesus
by Pope John Paul II to the Pontifical Biblical Commission.
On
Christian Doctrine
by St. Augustine. Sound advice for the Christian teacher, and much
more! A truly great work by one of the Catholic Church's greatest
teachers. When you read through this online translation you will
probably agree that every Catholic homeschool family should own a copy
of this book.
St. Augustine discusses how Scripture should be studied; offers rules
for interpreting Scripture, explains the value of knowing languages,
rhetoric, dialectic, history, and the natural sciences as an aid to
interpreting Scripture. An understanding of the works of the Platonic
philosophers and other pagan authors can help with the exposition of
Scripture. Whatever has been rightly said by the heathen, the
Christian must appropriate to his own use.
Protestant and
Catholic Bibles
Why does the Catholic version of the Bible have more books than the
Protestant version? Father William Saunders replies.
Providentissimus Deus
Encyclical of Pope Leo XIII On the Study of Holy Scripture.
Sacred Scripture
Catholic Encyclopedia article.
Spiritus Paraclitus
Encyclical of Benedict XV On St. Jerome, the great Bible scholar.
