"This work's greatest strength is its combination of a sophisticated approach to the biblical text and a style and format that will appeal to college undergraduates. The work's focus on the biblical text itself is admirable, and the author has managed to bring together a solid grounding in modern biblical scholarship with a sure feel for her intended audience."

"I think the Glossary would be a fantastic resource for RCIA or adult confirmation. I will recommend it for such contexts when I have the chance."

“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.”

“The readable text and engaging layout are features that will appeal to our undergraduates—and I am impressed by the clear and concise summaries of theoretical positions."

"This text is an excellent introduction to undergraduate theology. The scholars chosen for each section understand that most undergrads have never studied theology and are entering a new realm of knowledge. The material is thorough but written in language that the novice can readily understand. The reference librarian sections of each chapter are invaluable. If you need one text for an introductory course, this is the one."
-Daniel McGuire
Assistant Professor of Theology

"Sr. Marielle Frigge's book is an excellent introduction to the study of the Bible. She presupposes nothing, but conveys a great deal. No matter what the students' backgrounds, this introductory text will speak to them all. The glossaries, maps, charts, and other visuals are very helpful. Students and readers who work through her book will have a solid foundation in modern biblical studies."
-Fr. Hugh Feiss, OSB, STD
Coordinator, Benedictine Distance Learning
"The glossary is a positive and worthwhile undertaking. An important part of learning to think theologically is learning the language of theology and understanding it. The glossary contributes to a greater understanding of Catholic doctrine and theology."

"Many of my students express how much they enjoy reading this book. At the same time, it is filled with new interpretive insights which the author guides through in such inviting ways. Combined with both up-to-date scholarship and ecumenical sensitivity, the book is indeed a remarkable accomplishment.”

"
Catholic Ethics in Today's World is excellent for introducing students to moral reasoning in a genuinely theological context. The authors stress the positive dimension of ethics, quickly breaking through students' stereotypes about Catholic ethics as rule-bound and constricting. The chapters on controversial issues present the reasoning behind official Catholic teaching very cogently, which sets just the right foundation for critical yet constructive dialogue in the classroom."
