Description

Catholic Young People are often shockingly illiterate--"biblically speaking It's not uncommon for high school and university-age Catholics to be unfamiliar with reading the Bible, not knowing which books are in the Old Testament and which in the New, or how to look up character and verse. or what are the four Gospels. What must concern teachers, pastors and parents more than biblical illiteracy is the ignorance of biblical spirituality, but one can hardly experience biblical spirituality without reading the Bible Since The Catholic Youth Bible was published in 2000, it has been the means for spreading an "ABC of biblical literacy": Access, Big picture, and Context. Access to the Bible comes with learning about the major types of books in the Bible, the names and general order of those books, and how to look up a passage by oneself. The Big Picture is the overall arc of the biblical story, salvation history. Context (social, religious, political, economic) is necessary to prevent falling victim to fundamentalist misinterpretations and misapplications. The new International edition of the CYB bring all these attractive features with commentary and sidebars that are more suitable than before for Canadian schools and homes, framing biblical issues in terms of contemporary and familiar social issues. Last but not least, the CYB is a joy to read
