The Catholic Bible Dictionary by Scott Hahn is the most up-to-date dictionary on Catholic biblical terms in over a generation.
In a person's lifetime, so many things can change.
This change is also evident in the study of church scripture and historical texts, and how these are interpreted and made understandable to a more modern audience.
Thus, this bible dictionary is an invaluable text for any catholic who takes his faith seriously and wants to understand it better.
Catholics are familiar with the bible, its passages, and its meanings.
However, this dictionary will open up a whole new world of information and enlightenment that breezing through the bible during school and listening to mass readings won't give you.

There are so many so-called books and articles on the bible that are either incorrect or incomplete.
Why settle for inferior sources when you can get this 100% correct and complete source on the Catholic bible? And because this book is so reliable even members of the Catholic Church congregation could use this book, in case they need to make quick references about queries they may have regarding their homilies or research.
