NRSV Catholic Faith & Family Bible – Paperback

Description

In response to the Pope’s desire for Catholics to rediscover Scripture in
their daily lives, The Catholic Faith and Family Bible will be the first Bible
of its kind to make Scripture easier to understand for the everyday Catholic
family.

There is a growing desire among Catholics to read the Bible and to find
inspiration and wisdom for their daily lives. Yet there is no Bible that
brings Catholic families and the Bible together. The Catholic Faith and
Family Bible will be the first Bible of its kind and will be found throughout
the house: at the dinner table as part of family prayer, on the living
room coffee table as part of family discussion, in the parents’ bedroom as a
source of inspiration and solace, in a teen’s room as a source of learning and
guidance. The one place you won’t find this Bible: tucked away in a corner
of a remote bookshelf collecting dust.

Developed in partnership with the Center for Ministry
Development and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Religion Publishers, the leaders in
youth and family Catholic curriculum, The Catholic Faith and Family Bible was
created to make the Bible easier to read and understand for the everyday
Catholic family, helping parents and children grow in faith together. Most
importantly, Catholic families will discover God’s relevant message for their
life today in the context of both ordinary and extraordinary moments of family
living. This message is brought to life through the following distinctive
features:

• Book Introductions for each book of
  the Bible written specifically for Catholic families with helpful tips for
  parents on sharing Scripture with children

• Over 1,000 Relevant Notes and Reflection Lines
  to help families apply Scripture to daily living

• Presentation pages in the front of
  the Bible for recording family tree information, sacraments, and other
  important events

• An Index to guide families to
  important Bible stories, prayers, teachings, and connections to the Catholic
  faith

• Maps to help visualize the Bible
  lands

• The NRSV Catholic Edition Text that
  carries the Catholic imprimatur

• Helpful Articles on how to read and
  pray with the Bible, including traditional Catholic preayers and practices
  such as Lectio Divina

The NRSV Catholic edition is fully approved for study by
Catholics by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and is recognized
in many scholarly circles wordwide as the most accurate translation to English
from the original Hebrew and Greek texts.
