The Word on Fire Bible is a groundbreaking series introducing readers to the strange, colorful world of the Bible.
It\'s a wonderful translation--both for those who have never read the Bible and for those who have studied it for years..
It stands out because of its accuracy and readability, being as literal as possible yet as free as necessary to make the meaning clear in graceful, understandable English.
The translation used in The Word on Fire Bible is the New Revised Standard Version: Catholic Edition (NRSV-CE), which has received wide acclaim from academics and Church leaders.
You\'ll discover insights from Origen, Teresa of Kolkata, Thomas Merton, Jerome, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Francis de Sales, Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, and many other teachers in the way of the Spirit.
Inside this volume, you\'ll find the Pentateuch--Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy--surrounded by illuminating artwork and helpful commentary from Bishop Robert Barron, the Church Fathers, and some of the greatest saints, mystics, artists, and scholars throughout history.
It doesn\'t presume any experience with the Bible; in fact, it was created for people reading the Bible seriously for the first time, who may be unsure of what to make of its many events and characters.
It was designed to appeal not just to Christians, but to nonbelievers, searchers, and those with far more questions than answers.
