Father Ray Brown was a man of deep love of the Scriptures. He was not a fundamentalist, so if your convictions tend to a seven 24-hour day creation and full Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch, he may be troubling for your predetermined views. On the other hand, he is credited with being a great influence on Catholic biblical scholars and in bringing responsible and prudent aspects of the historical critical methodologies into greater awareness and acceptance into the Catholic Church. His "Death of the Messiah" is one of the most thoughtful and careful readings of the Passion written in this past century. And he was a friend of mine, and may God rest his soul.

Raymond Brown, despite the teachings of his Catholic faith, doubted whether Scripture is wholly inerrant (thus whether it even affirmed the virgin birth of Christ) and thought the geneologies of Christ calling him a son of David were fabricated. His principles on inerrancy, inspiration and Church teaching are so off in practice that he is simply not worth reading.
