The Jerome Biblical Commentary For The Twenty-First Century (3rd Full Revised Edition)  Edited by- John J. Collins, Gina Hens-Piazza, Barbara Reid OP, Donald Senior CP (ISBN-9789394701410)

The Jerome Biblical Commentary has, since 1968, been a landmark of Catholic biblical scholarship, the first port of call for priests, religious, students, and lay- people seeking to enlighten their reading of the bible. In this magnificent third edition the entire content
of the commentary has been revised to bring it up- to-date with the very latest scholarship, by the leading international Catholic scholars of our day. As such,
the contributors draw on a variety of both traditional and contemporary approaches and methods, in the spirit of the Pontifical Biblical Commission document
The Interpretation of the Bible in the Church. The “General Articles” section has been revised to include articles on new approaches to the study of the bible and on the interpretation of the bible in diverse pastoral contexts. This commentary will be essential
reading for all those who possess existing editions of The Jerome, but it will also find a new generation of readers, eager to engage the scriptures within the tradition and teaching of the Church.

“The word of God unites believers and makes them one people. That is the importance and mission of biblical scholarship at the service of the community of faith, the type of scholarship exhibited in this volume of biblical commentaries. The ministry of opening the word of God to God’s people is a sacred trust that demands serious study, deep love, and openness to the beauty and power of the Scriptures… There is nothing more precious which we can give to others.”
