PRODUCT INFORMATION
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Includes the Books of Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Wisdom and Sirach.
This volume, which follows the pattern of the highly successful Navarre Bible consists of the Revised Standard Version and the New Vulgate with a Commentary by members of the faculty of Theology at the Univ. of Navarre, Spain.
One of the most striking aspects of both of these books is the use of poetry. Although poetic language is to be found in many Old Testament books, it is the predominant form in these ones. The book of Psalms and the Song of Songs contain lyric poetry, whereas the other books consist mainly of proverbs or aphorisms in verse form, and wisdom poems in varying lengths. This is primarily why the Psalms and the Song are described as poetical books, and the others as wisdom books.
This volume also contains notes, introductions, and both the Latin and English texts. The editor's notes, which are rarely very technical, are designed to elucidate the spiritual and theological message of the Bible.
560 pages. Hardcover.
