| Summary: | Slip into a pew at a Catholic church almost anywhere in the world on a Sunday morning, and you'll likely find something missing: the Bible. More than 500 years after the Bible came off the first printing press, why does the world's largest biblical religion often not have a printed Bible in the room? And if not, how is it that the life of Catholics is shaped by the Bible? In 'How Catholics Encounter the Bible', award-winning biblical scholar and historian Michael Peppard explores the paradoxical role of the Bible for Catholics - a book central to their tradition, but not usually in the form of a book. |
