Course: Introduction to Sacred Scripture
Where we got the Scriptures, the great St. Jerome, the Douay-Rheims, and other translations
Course description:
Many Catholics students and even adults have never read much Sacred Scripture itself. This is unfortunate because Sacred Scripture is one of the two primary sources of Divine Revelation, is extremely instructive and important, and its reading has been highly recommended by the popes. While commentaries on Sacred Scripture can be very helpful, it is important to read the actual text of Scripture.Yet, before doing so, it is important that the student is armed with the answers to some fundamental questions: Where did Scripture come from, anyway? Who chose what books are included and not included? How did Protestantism affect things? Are all versions (translations) of the bible equally good?

Please view / download a PDF sample of this book.
This little book is designed to prepare the student to begin reading the actual texts of Sacred Scripture, by asking and then providing answers to some fundamental questions: Where did Scripture come from, anyway? Who chose what books are included and not included? How did Protestantism affect things? Are all versions (translations) of the bible equally good? What are the different levels of meanings in Scripture? After this course, the student should be sufficiently prepared to embark on the reading of the selected books of Scripture, each of which is carefully annotated and illustrated by Christ the King Books, drawing heavily on the commentaries from the saints, Fathers, and Doctors of the Catholic Church.
