Digital Logos Edition
The Works of A. E. Breen (6 vols.) brings Breen's celebrated four-volume Harmonized Exposition of the Four Gospels together with two other works from this important Catholic theologian: A General Introduction to the Study of Holy Scripture and A Diary of My Life in the Holy Land.
In A Harmonized Exposition of the Four Gospels, Breen weaves together the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John into one, complete narrative. In addition, Breen provides a critical commentary adapted for preaching pastors, which emphasizes the moral application of the words and deeds of Christ.
In A General Introduction to the Study of Holy Scripture, Breen begins his exploration of the Bible by dedicating almost two hundred pages to its inspiration—"The existence of divinely inspired Scripture is so essentially bound up with the existence of religion itself that they stand or fall together." From there he explores the Canon of the Old and New Testaments, the Council of Trent, different versions of the Bible, the authority of the Vulgate, and more. And in A Diary of My Life in the Holy Land, Breen recounts his year of studying in Jerusalem in 1904, documenting the people, places, and things he encountered during his travels in Palestine and the surrounding area. His exciting travelogue is accompanied by over 300 photographs.

In A Harmonized Exposition of the Four Gospels the Greek texts of the four gospels are arranged in the form of a harmony. A literal English translation accompanies the Greek text and is arranged in the same way. By this arrangement, the life of Christ becomes one connected narrative, and the statements of each Evangelist become fuller and clearer, being supplemented by the parallel passages of the others. Along with this harmony, A. E. Breen provides a critical commentary, with special attention given to adapt the book for pulpit use—hence the moral application of the events, words, and deeds is made a main feature of this unique commentary.

A General Introduction to the Study of Holy Scripture "teaches the art of studying Holy Scripture." A. E. Breen covers the nature and extent of inspiration, the history of the original texts and the various ancient versions of the Bible, the origin and authority of the Vulgate, the history of modern English versions, the various senses of Scripture, and more. Intended for seminary students, the strength of this book made it popular in and out of the classroom.
In 1904, A. E. Breen studied for one year at the Biblical School at Jerusalem. During that year, Breen took hundreds of photos and kept a journal of the people, places, and things he encountered. A Diary of My Life in the Holy Land is the fruit of that year. This exciting early 20th-century travelogue contains over 300 photographs of Breen's journey through the lands of the Bible.
