The St. Jerome Study Bible is a study Bible that features a compilation of quotes from the Church Fathers, and occasionally medieval and modern Saints, on every chapter of the Bible. This particular volume is on Genesis through Ruth. For more information on the SJSB, please visit www.sjsb.com "All interpretation takes place within a community and a tradition. The Catholic Church includes all the saints of heaven. The Christian tradition reaches back through the Apostles to ancient Israel. These riches are evident on every page of this remarkable Study Bible. When we read the Bible with the ancient Fathers, we are reading it as it was written - and as its primary Author intended." -Scott Hahn, Author of The Lamb's Supper "A valuable resource for studying the history of interpretation - or for use in Lectio Divina - this is a beautiful work of Christian filial piety." - Mike Aquilina, author of The Fathers of the Church This is the book we've all been waiting for. The Catholic Church has never lacked in scholars or scholarship, but she has lacked in getting this wealth of scholarship into the minds and hearts of her faithful. It is the perennial problem. Michael Lofton has in one volume the perfect combination of an enormous amount of the very best of scholarship on Sacred Scripture coupled with a level of accessibility that gives the average Catholic easy access to that scholarship. This book is a major contribution to solving the problem. It should be on the bookshelf of every Catholic home. - Tim Staples, author of Behold Your Mother
