Bible Is a Catholic Book - Paperback

by Jimmy Akin (Author)

Front Jacket

In The Bible Is a Catholic Book, Jimmy shows how the Bible cannot exist apart from the Church. In its origins and its formulation, in the truths it contains, in its careful preservation over the centuries and in the prayerful study and elucidation of its mysteries, Scripture is inseparable from Catholicism. This is fitting, since both come from God for our salvation.

If you're a Catholic who sometimes gets intimidated by the Bible (especially scriptural challenges from Protestants), The Bible Is a Catholic Book will help you better understand and take pride in this gift that God gave the world through the Church. We are the original "Bible Christians"!

And even non-Catholics will appreciate the clear and charitable way that Jimmy explains how the early Church gave us the Bible ...and how the Church to this day reveres and obeys it.
