Title: Too catholic for most, low theology of The Word
Product review: This commentary on the Bible will not please those who truly love the scriptures. For one thing, it is so catholic in its interpretation that one can almost smell the incense. It also does acrobatics with the verses having to do with justification by faith, twisting and contorting them to mean what they clearly do NOT mean in order to fit in with catholic theology. Relies a great deal on modern critical methods with little discernment. The result is that very little is taken concretely and non-allegorically. This commentary has a very low theology of the scriptures. The end result is that the JBC seems to see the Word of God as something incidental to the Church, a mere accessory, rather than the church being the result of the proclamation of the Word. Sad and misguided.
