Catholic Bible Study: On-Line Resources for the Study of Sacred Scripture    Why Catholic Bible Study?  The BIble is God's living word, inspired by the Holy Spirit, revealing God's plan of salvation for mankind, written by human authors, relevant to all people of all cultures at all times.   But if we are to be enabled to hear what God is saying to us through the words of Sacred Scripture, we need to combine biblical prayer with authentically Catholic bible study.  The Catholic Church, contrary to widely held opinion, has never opposed the reading and study of the Bible.  In fact, the Catholic Church has been a patron of bible studies from the day it was born on the feast of Pentecost.  It has funded schools of biblical studies and archaeological work, such as the deciphering of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and issued documents providing guidance as we undertake the work of understanding, interpreting and applying Scripture.  Many of these official Church documents on Catholic scripture study are listed below.   Few of us can take the time to get an academic degree in biblical studies.  But we can read and study scripture daily, a little bit at a time, and vastly improve our ability to hear the voice of God in the words of the Bible.  The articles below are intended as an aid in this regard.  Some are short, practical reflections on the real life application of certain passages of Scripture.  Others are more substantial, even academic, articles on issues regarding biblical interpretation and exegesis.  We invite you to explore them and also to review our audio, video, and printed resources for Catholic Bible Study.   A few Catholic bible study resources from other sites that you ought to know about: for the four gospels laid out in four parallel columns, side by side so as to make it easy to study gospel parallels, click here. to study the New Testament online in the original Greek, click here to search for a phrase or word from the Bible in a wide variety of English and Spanish translations, click here the complete New American Bible online, the Bible translation most often used in the Roman Catholic liturgy in the USA   If you would like to sign up for our free weekly e-mail with Dr. D'Ambrosio's Catholic Bible Study on the Sunday lectionary readings, updates on when Dr. D will be speaking in your area, a chance to WIN a FREE CD and MORE, be sure to CLICK HERE!     Join us on Facebook     Join us on Twitter         Be a part of the “new springtime” of evangelization and Catholic Bible Study!  Your tax-deductible gift helps us use TV, radio, and the web to proclaim the message without compromise but in language even the young can understand.  Click here to donate now.
