“One of the challenges of teaching the Bible in a college setting is to help undergraduates grasp that we are involved in a serious academic pursuit and to awaken their intellectual curiosity. The Saint Mary's Press® College Study Bible provides me with the perfect format to introduce students to theological inquiry as a university discipline. This volume is their constant companion and allows us to move back and forth between methodology, contemporary theological application and praxis, commentary, study aids and of course the actual NAB text.”

“An Introduction to Health Care Ethics provides a solid basic text in the field and is particularly helpful in integrating a religious perspective into bioethics in a way that invites deeper dialogue. It is very readable, but does not sacrifice intellectual depth in being accessible.”

Carvalho's text includes everything I want in terms of content and substantive issues, and it provides wonderful guided readings of numerous biblical texts. Students have been responding very well to it; they appreciate the insight it offers and the things it brings to their attention that they never noticed before. I have used several different texts since I started teaching our new "History and Literature of the Old Testament" course, but I haven't used the same one for more than one semester. Now I think I have found the book I'm going to stick with!

"[First Edition] This seems like a real winner. I'm anxious to try it with my students. The scholarship of this manuscript goes far beyond being 'sound.' What this author is sharing with her audience is the best of most recent scholarship. And it is explained with such clarity. . . In a very few words, the author gives students access to the ancient near eastern world and the world of the Bible. . . It will help students to understand what they are reading in the Bible (but they will still have to and want to read the Bible)."

"I feel very enthusiastic about the engaging and dynamic presentation of medical ethics in this text. The multimedia aids encourage creativity by both the instructor and the students and, along with the exercises, will create a personal integration of the material that makes medical ethics relevant for the students."

"Father Givey brings to life once again the man, the monk, and the mystic who helped to shape the soul of his own generation and who continues to offer a vision of 'peace for the future'"

"Excellent introductory essays: these essays bring together, in concise, friendly language, all of the essential points that need to be communicated: especially the opening essays on how the Bible came to be, genre, historical context, the meaning of revelation and inspiration, and the canon of Scripture.   I also greatly appreciated the map, unique to the College Study Bible, which shows the present-day political situation in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories. The importance of this issue cannot be overstated. Please keep that map in all your future editions!"

"I read his book and enjoyed it immensely.  A fine piece of work.  Were I to teach a course on this topic, I would certainly adopt it.  Many thanks for sending it to me."

“I particularly liked the book by Mark Allman Who would Jesus Kill?  I found that it does an excellent job of presenting the basics of just war and pacifism while at the same time making the subject currently relevant by tackling issues such as holy war and Muslim perspectives on war. I think that the discussion questions it provides would be a tremendous help in sparking classroom conversations and debates.”
