Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture: Commentary Series

CCSS combines outstanding biblical scholarship with lively faith to help interpret Scripture an apply it to modern Christian life.

Commentary Series

Central to the commentary’s approach are the theological principles taught by Vatican II for interpreting Scripture “in accord with the same Spirit by which it was written”—that is, interpreting Scripture in its canonical context and in the light of Catholic tradition and the analogy of faith (Dei Verbum, 12). The CCSS helps readers grasp the meaning of texts both in their historical and literary context and in their relationship to Catholic doctrine and life in the present.
