"This book presents selections from the commentaries on the Bible by Cardinal John Henry Newman. Although Newman never wrote an entire book about the Bible, his articles and sermons--which alone fill 12 volumes--abound with extensive comments on passages and issues as well as on problems of interpretation. His studies of characters such as Joshua, Saul and David provide great psychological insight. And his meditations on beloved or difficult New Testament passages bring both depth and light to their meaning"--.
