<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Fr. John Laux's timeless text thoroughly explains the philosophical and theological foundations of Catholic doctrine regarding God's inspired Word as well as a book-by-book analysis of the Bible. In <i>Introduction to the Bible</i>, readers uncover the truths of Sacred Scripture and associated commentaries covering the Historical, Doctrinal, and Prophetic books of the Old and Testaments. Recommended for 11th-grade students enrolled in TAN Academy.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Introduction to the Bible Catholics who feel lost when facing the Bible will find that Introduction to the Bible is an extremely valuable and very thorough orientation to Sacred Scripture. Based upon the traditional teaching of the Church, this book fills a great need for the interested reader by providing a Catholic roadmap to God's Inspired Word, including the true meaning of Inspiration, guidelines to understanding the Bible and the Church's role as the Bible's official interpreter. This book also gives an introduction to each of the Bible's 72 books, with well-chosen Scriptural passages from most of the books that render a representative example of what they are like and about. Using the Douay-Rheims English translation of the Bible, Introduction to the Bible is clear, concise, orthodox and interesting. The background Fr. Laux gives on just the Gospels is alone worth the price of the entire book. Though first published in 1932, this book nevertheless is not dated; the information contained here remains valid, as does, of course, the traditional Catholic teaching it presents. And, unlike many Bible commentators today, Fr. Laux does not attempt to discredit the historical truth of the Scriptures. St. Jerome said, "A man who is well grounded in the testimonies of the Scripture is the bulwark of the Church," and also, "Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ." Fr. Laux's Introduction to the Bible will go a long way toward giving the reader a true Catholic understanding of God's Holy Word, that is, toward unlocking for him this divinely inspired source of truths about God, man, Christ the Redeemer and His holy Catholic Church.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Father John Laux, M.A., was a high school religion teacher who wrote his own Catholic curricular books after spending a large number of years teaching and researching. His works were first published in 1928 and include <i>Catholic Apologetics</i>, <i>Mass and the Sacraments</i>, <i>Introduction to the Bible</i>, <i>Catholic Morality</i> and <i>Church History</i>. He capsulated the Catholic faith extremely well, thanks to his lively prose and succinct way of accurately explaining the details of theology. Though Father Laux originally wrote his books for high school students, they remain very informative for those in college and even adulthood as well. He wrote in a timeless, direct and to-the-point style that continues to present Catholics with in-depth explanations of their faith today.<br>
