Bible Appreciation for Catholics: Learn the Bible. Love the Bible. Live the Bible.

by Patrick Murray

Overview

Bible Appreciation for Catholics was written to invite everyone to learn about the Bible. The invitation is intended for everyone. Although directed primarily to Catholics, there are no restrictions for reading it. All Christians and all non-Christians are invited. Any motive for reading this book is fine: desire to know more about the Bible, curiosity about the title, checking it for errors and fallacies, or trying to find out why anyone would want to be stuck in the mentality of a 2,500-year-distant past. Welcome to all!
