New American Holy Bible: The New Catholic Answer Bible - Paperback book, 1400 pp.
In The Catholic Answer Bible for the first time, the full text of the New American Bible has been combined with answers to the most pressing questions about Catholic beliefs, traditions, and rituals. Easy-to-understand answers to more than forty questions, such as: How can we as Catholics believe in Mary's Immaculate Conception, since the Bible teaches that "all have sinned." Where is the notion of penance found in the bible? How can we as Catholics defend purgatory and prayers for the dead from the bible? With more than 800 scriptural and catechetical references, The Catholic Answer Bible is a "must" for everyone who wants to know more about the biblical origins of Catholic teachings and practices. Special features include: Section on the celebration of the Eucharist with a clear explanation of the Mass. The Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation, which shows that Catholics believe the Bible is the Word of God. Three-year cycle of readings for every Sunday Mass. Origin, inspiration, and history of the Bible, including explanations of why Catholics believe the deuterocanonical books (Apocrypha) are inspired by God.
