Making Sense out of Scripture by Mark P. Shea

Now You Can Read and Understand Scripture the Way the First Christians Did!

What’s the best way to approach Bible study? Can Catholics today learn to read Scripture the way Jesus and the Apostles did? Or has the early Church’s rich and ancient method of discerning the sense of a biblical passage been lost to us — possibly forever?

Understanding Christ’s Revelation

Now, award winning Catholic author Mark Shea, shares the story of his conversion from Evangelical Christianity to Catholicism and the secrets of reading the Bible according to the Church’s Living Tradition in the provocative book Making Sense Out of Scripture.

While still an Evangelical, Mark realized that, while he believed in the Protestant doctrine of the “Bible Alone,” he was actually dependent upon his church, teachers, books, Christian radio and TV for his understanding of Christ’s revelation. As a devoted seeker of biblical wisdom Mark believed that Bible study must be guided by the Holy Spirit, but upon encountering Church history, he discovered that to be “led by the Spirit” is to be led toward Tradition and the Catholic Church and not away from them.

A Practical Guide

In this inspiring and enlightening new series, Mark offers a wonderfully practical guide for reading the Bible according to the Church’s living Tradition. He expertly draws on the riches of the Catholic Faith and clearly communicates many profound realities of Sacred Scripture, but always with a witty and down-to-earth style that make his presentations truly easy to understand for beginners and advanced Bible readers alike. As you read this engaging and enlightening series, you’ll gain many invaluable insights into Scripture as Mark clears up modern confusion about biblical interpretation. In fact, you’ll find the Holy page more accessible than ever before as you let Mark Shea take you on a fascinating “high-speed fly-over” of the biblical story from Genesis to Revelation.
