This new revised edition of the CCB has the following main features: • Bible text CLOSER to the ORIGINAL languages in a number of passages. • All biblical CROSS References have been VERIFIED and UPDATED. • A BIBLICAL PRONUNCIATION Guide added to the Glossary. • The Verse References are cited in the commentary when texts are quoted for easy reference. • New Commentaries on the Psalms (from Grail Society) • A very CAREFUL REVISION of the text of the four Gospels even as many of these small changes already appeared in recent editions. • A new layout of the complete Pastoral Bible though the “pastoral approach” to the Bible remains unchanged: – fidelity to the original languages; – introductions to and commentaries on the text following the great tradition of biblical scholarship as a tool to help the reader to understand the text better and to relate it with one’s life and faith; – English rendition for readers who have English as a second language. |
