This volume in the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible series leads you through a penetrating study of the books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon using the biblical text itself and the Church’s own guidelines for understanding the Bible.
Ample notes accompany each page, providing fresh insights by renowned Bible teachers Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch, as well as time-tested interpretations from the Fathers of the Church. They provide rich historical, cultural, geographical, or theological information pertinent to the Old Testament book—information that bridges the distance between the biblical world and our own.
It also includes topical essays, word studies, and charts. The topical essays explore the major themes of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon, often relating them to the teachings of the Church. The word studies explain the background to important Bible terms, while the charts summarize crucial biblical information at a glance.
