"Scott Hahn's writings and conferences have been so effective in
bringing Catholics closer to Sacred Scripture. His valuable
Catholic Bible Dictionary will be another big help to faithful
Catholics who have taken seriously the Church's encouragement to
become immersed in God's Word."
-Most Reverend Timothy M. Dolan, Archbishop of New York
"Catholic Bible Dictionary is a timely, academically solid
and user-friendly response to the call of the Synod of Bishops on
the Word of God in the Life and Mission of the Church for the
development of ways of helping the faithful more fully access the
treasures of the Bible."
-Most Reverend Donald W. Wuerl, S.T.D., Archbishop of
Washington
"Catholic Bible Dictionary is an extremely useful tool for
any Bible student, whether beginner or advanced. This dictionary is
particularly helpful for Catholics who need both etymological
studies of terms and solid theological help. My only hope is that
the readers will study the articles on a regular basis and
eventually read the whole dictionary as they study the whole
Bible."
-Fr. Mitchell C. Pacwa, S.J., president of Ignatius Productions and
host of EWTN
"Thousands of people have been assisted by Scott Hahn in studying
the Bible from an informed and spiritual point of view. This
dictionary is a powerful part of that effort and will significantly
help any reader learn more about the Bible in an organized and
reliable way. I strongly recommend this book for anyone who wants
to come to a deeper knowledge and love of sacred scripture."
-Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel, CFR
"Catholic Bible Dictionary is a superb reference book that
is an absolute must for all students of Scripture-both clerics and
laity. I would never be without a Bible dictionary in my home;
however, Catholic Bible Dictionary is not just any Bible
dictionary. It is written specifically for Catholics and is
therefore more extensive and complete than others. With over five
thousand entries as well as the latest up-to-date information on
every important item, name, place, and event in Sacred Scripture,
this book is essential for students of Scripture; it is also
indispensable for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of God's
Word. In fact, I believe that every Catholic who owns a Bible
should also have a copy of Catholic Bible Dictionary."
-Gail Buckley, founder and president of Catholic Scripture Study
International
"Catholic Bible Dictionary answers the urgent need for a
generally accessible resource deeply rooted in the Catholic
tradition. It will be of great help to Catholics in broadening and
deepening the familiarity with the Bible they already possess
through the regular readings in the liturgy. Particularly helpful
are the clear overviews of each book of the Bible that will allow
readers to place the selections they hear at mass in their proper
context."
-Dr. Michael Waldstein, Max Seckler Professor of Theology at Ave
Maria University and translator of Pope John Paul II's Man and
Woman He Created Them: A Theology of the Body
"This new, thoroughly sound, and trustworthy Catholic Bible
Dictionary is a tremendous gift. With this dictionary on your
left and the Catechism on your right, you can confidently and
prayerfully study the Sacred Scriptures."
-Marcus Grodi, TV host, The Journey Home
