<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Reflections on the Sunday readings from leading Catholic biblical scholar, Henry Wansbrough OSB<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Reflections on the Sunday readings from leading Catholic biblical scholar, Henry Wansbrough OSB.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Author article in The Catholic Herald.<br><br>I warmly endorse Fr. Herny Wansborough's commentary on the Sunday Lectionary. The Word of God is, in the author's own words, God's loving gift of himself .This commentary can only enhance the reader's response to that Word. The Introduction to the commentary outlines the structure of the Lectionary, thereby enabling the reader to appreciate the unfolding of the mystery of Christ in the Church's liturgical year. The commentaries for each Sunday bring the author's scholarship to an understanding of the passages, whilst, at the same time, encouraging readers to allow the passages to speak to their own faith experience. This commentary will be an invaluable resource to all who celebrate the Word of God Sunday by Sunday. I commend it highly to prayer groups, liturgy groups, catechists and Bible study groups: in fact to all who seek to hear the Word of God and respond in faith.<br><br>If the Word of God is 'alive and active' (Heb.4:12) it must be alive and active for all of us today.In these commentaries the background and shape of every passage is opened up and shared with us. This is a great achievement by Henry Wansbrough and we should all be grateful to him.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Henry Wansbrough OSBis a Benedictine Monk of Ampleforth, former Chairman of the Oxford University Theology Faculty and former Master of St Benet's Hall.
