Description
Two Volumes in One --
Volume 1. The Old Testament, edited by R.E. Murphy. --
Volume 2. The New Testament, and topical articles, edited by J.A. Fitzmyer and R.E. Brown
This work is emphatically a commentary on the Bible, and not merely an introduction. Proceeding by chapter and verse, it brings the reader to the Word of God - for reading, study, and reflection. In addition to the detailed interpretation of every book of the Bible, The Jerome Biblical Commentary includes many general articles on such pertinent topics as biblical theology, history, geography, and archaeology. Modern discoveries, for instance apocryphal Gospels and the Dead Sea Scrolls, receive careful attention. Each article contains ample bibliographies, and useful maps and charts are provided.
The work is named after St. Jerome, the foremost Bible commentator among the Church Fathers, and a pioneer in biblical criticism and interpretations.
