About the book

Thy Word is an introduction to the Bible written for the ordinary Catholic seeking a basic, approachable entry into Scripture. It can be used for personal study or by groups seeking to develop their knowledge and appreciation of the Bible. Though written as an introduction, it offers a thorough overview of Scripture and the Scriptural foundation of Catholic doctrine and teaching, and it carries a nihil obstat and imprimatur.

The material is presented clearly and concisely, with many helps along the way — Catechism references, a glossary, and maps. Readers come away with a good appreciation of what is, and is not, in the Bible, and a strong foundation in salvation history, making it an excellent teaching and learning resource for teens and adults of all ages.
