The Navarre Bible: The Psalms and The Song of Solomon (The Navarre Bible: Old Testament)

One of the best references to understanding the psalms

I used this for personal prayer and meditation as well as in prison ministry. It has study notes explaining how the psalms fit together.

The Navarre College's new translation of sacred scripture, in this case the Psalms and Song of Solomon is a fantastic edition that leaves one searching for words of recommendation. Written in a clean, cogent style, the book divides itself by page into the original scripture passages with accompanying biblical commentary, from prominent Catholic saints (noteably Josemaria Escrivá). This particular edition is in impressive hardcover format, feels sturdy and is well constructed. A word of note to those who have been collecting the other Navarre Bibles: this particular edition does not include the original Latin Vulgate text, unlike some of the New Testament editions. It's a little disappointing, but understandable, for if the edition did include the Latin it would be a massive tome, indeed! Thus, to maintain affordable costs and size of the book it is not present. A must for the serious Bible scholar, student of "Lectio Divina", or the casual Bible student. Collect them all!

We purchased this book to add to our set. It arrived promptly and in very good condition. Would purchase from this seller again.

Used to be Catholic, this Navarre set is one of the better to collect. Always love the Psalms.

This year's trek through the scriptures began with sequential readings from Psalms and I've just finished the psalter. In comparison with the volumes on the Pentateuch, Joshua through 2 Kings and the Wisdom books, I'm pleased with the very uniform editing of what has no doubt been a group project. The presentation is very even throughout and will provide any reader with both historical and spiritual/theological commentary on the relevant documents based on the entire span of Western Christian reflection on the scriptures.

The book is very easy to work with in understanding the Psalms. I have been using the book for a bible study on the Psalms and I find it to be very helpful. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in understanding the Psalms.

Get all the volumes of Navarre Bible--and as soon as you can. I did not expect so much commentary on the Psalms. This shows more my lack of knowledge and understanding of religion and the world in the ancient times. They could have been written today. And, these volumes have sparked an interest in understanding the culture of early Bible history. Get them all.

Part of the Navarre Bible Commentary Set. Very easy to read and understand. Recommended for anyone who is engaged in personal Bible study without a university background in Theology.

This is a wonderful book, and I was blessed to be able to find it throught Amazon. Highly reccomended. I just hope the there will be other titles on the Navarre Bible available soon.
