Mastering the Meaning of the Bible (John L. McKenzie Reprint)

McKenzie offers practical ideas on how lay persons can read and study the Bible discussing best translations and best ways to approach difficult texts. With an appreciation for continuities between Old and New Testaments he presents patterns such as Gods self-revelation as love which thread throughout the Bible. The author also reveals insights into the Personality of Christ emphasizing that Jesus was truly a man as well as God experiencing the full range of human emotion. Finally the book engages the place of sex in the Bible and current trends within contemporary Catholicism.
