Digital Logos Edition
Leading Catholic biblical scholar Henry Wansbrough provides a pithy and readable commentary covering all the Sunday readings for years A, B, and C. Wansbrough provides incisive commentary informed by his many years of teaching Scripture as a scholar and Benedictine monk of Ampleforth Abbey, and member of the Pontifical Biblical Commission. For each Sunday a short commentary on the three readings is given, together with questions and suggestions for personal reflection, and a section for families looking at the readings together. A section covering major feasts, especially those which at times take the place of the Sunday, is presented at the back of the book.
With Logos Bible Software, it’s easier than ever to use this valuable resource. The Sunday Word integrates seamlessly with your digital library, so you can access this resource from your desktop, tablet, or smartphone. All Scripture references link directly to the biblical text, making your study scripturally sound and rewarding.
If the Word of God is ‘alive and active’ (Heb. 4:12) it must be alive and active for all of us today. In these commentaries the background and shape of every passage is opened up and shared with us. This is a great achievement by Henry Wansbrough and we should all be grateful to him.
