The Bible, search the scriptures

This is a new edition of the Holy Bible, the result of a thorough work of 50 specialists, directed and coordinated by the biblical experts Ezechiele, Pasotti, Giacomo Perego, Fabrizio Fico and Francesco Giosuè Voltaggio.

In Spanish, this Bible is published by the Biblioteca de Autores Cristianos in conjunction with the publishing company San Pablo.

The biblical text, approved by the Spanish Episcopal Conference in its Spanish version, is enriched in this new edition with complete introductions to each biblical book, quotations connecting the texts of the New and Old Testament, notes on translation and interpretation of the text, as well as a chronological table, a small atlas and an index of theological topics of reference, all updated with the most recent historical and archaeological discoveries. 

This comprehensive presentation of the biblical text proposes three phases for entering into the word of God: the Scrutatio o scriptural writing: to deepen the text through quotations, notes and parallels. Meditation of the texts in order to interiorize them and prayer, personal and communal, with the Word of God, living it as a dialogue between God and man. 

In a conversation with Omnes, one of the coordinators of this work, Italian priest Francesco Voltaggio, stressed “I scrutinize the scriptures, but in the end, it is Christ who, through his Word, scrutinizes me. It is a living encounter. This characteristic of a living and inexhaustible source is what we want to emphasize in this work.”. A work that highlights, in its entirety, the figure of Christ as the “key to reading” the whole of divine revelation: “We must understand that the Bible is truly the Word of God and truly the human word. It is the infinite revealed in the finite. The Bible contains more than what it says, because in human words it contains the infinite. It is an analogy with what Christ is, God and man, a totally divine and, at the same time, totally human dimension.". 

A biblical text designed for both personal and community reading and prayer, and therefore, its recipients are as broad as the profiles of any Catholic community: parish groups, parish priests, religious, consecrated, seminarians, catechists, confirmands, married couples, teachers of Religion and all the faithful.
