The Navarre Bible - Psalms & Song of Solomon

This volume of the Navarre Bible commentaries sheds light on the simple beauty of the Psalms and Song of Solomon (Song of Songs). The Catechism teaches that the Psalms, whether hymns or prayers of lamentation or thanksgiving, whether individual or communal, whether royal chants, songs of pilgrimage or wisdom-meditations are a mirror of God's marvelous deeds in the history of his people, as well as reflections of the human experiences of the Psalmist. Even though they often reflect events of the past, the Psalms still possess such direct simplicity and depth that they can be prayed sincerely in all times and conditions. This edition with its illuminating commentary will help make these prayers an important part of your life. This sturdy hardcover contains the complete Latin and English texts of each book; commentary based on the writings of the great saints and doctors of the Church; and material on each book's historical and Biblical context. With its extensive commentaries on Biblical passages, the Navarre edition of the Bible is a valuable Church-approved resource for those desiring a comprehensive knowledge of the Scriptures. It consists of texts from the Revised Standard Version along with those of the Latin Vulgate, and is usually published in separate volumes. The Navarre Bible project owes its successful execution to the initiative of Saint Josemaria Escriva and the faculty of his university located in Navarre, Spain. This great work will provide rich and abundant enlightenment to the scholar and layman alike!
