Items related to Newman on the Bible: Commentaries on Scripture
This book presents selections from the commentaries on the Bible by Cardinal John Henry Newman.

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. This book is certain to deepen your love and understanding for the Holy Scriptures.

Book Description Paper Back. Condition: New. John Henry Newman spoke and wrote beautifully. He never produced a complete commentary on the Bible, but this anthology of quotations from his articles and sermons reveal a man steeped in Scripture and able to give its interpretation with elegant insight. Meditating on both beloved and difficult passages, his studies of themes and figures such as Joshua, Saul and David show great psychological and theological understanding. The book also records his comments on the nature of the Bible and how it should be read. One reviewer called this book 'a significant contribution to the history and spirituality of Biblical interpretation.' While true, this statement gives no credit to Newman's craft of articulation, or his evident love for those to whom he spoke with all the benevolent authority of his office. 262 pp. Seller Inventory # 225122
