Do Catholics Read the Bible?

Do Catholics Read the Bible?

If not, the Holy Father has reminded them "how serious is the obligation incumbent upon the faithful to make copious use of Holy Writ." ("Divine Afflante Spiritu")

To give us the reason why Pius XII continues: "Christ, the Author of Salvation, will be better known by men, more ardently loved, more faithfully imitated by them, according as they are moved with an eager desire to know and meditate upon Holy Writ, especially upon the New Testament. For, as St. Jerome says. To be ignorant of Scripture is to be ignorant of Christ'."

We recommend for its beautiful rendering and thorough scholarship the version by Ronald Knox, which has just arrived in a new one-volume edition. It is an excellent piece of book production and is priced at only 30/-.
