As far as non-Catholics go, I think you'd be fine--I have no idea whether you'd agree with some of the points they make, but at least in the OT part, I can't remember anything that is particularly given as an explanation of Catholic doctrine--except in explaining the deutrocannonical books. <br /><br />Kathleen, as far as being practical, what do you mean? He doesn't say "the book of ____ says this, which means that you should do ____"? , nor does the book ask you to reflect on how the story could be applied to your life. However, this book is about 300 pages long, it is not an in-depth study analyzing every chapter of the Bible.RAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102249990885174107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13263155.post-88247066026324062572010-12-07T15:46:24.529-06:002010-12-07T15:46:24.529-06:00Is this book good for someone who does not have in...Is this book good for someone who does not have in depth knowledge of OT?<br /><br />How about someone who is not Catholic?<br /><br />If you can't recommend this book, is there another book you could recommend for learning more about the OT?<br /><br />Great review...here from Cym's.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00710063178171491946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13263155.post-19074294750412678482010-12-07T14:48:15.300-06:002010-12-07T14:48:15.300-06:00Thanks for posting about this book!

I'm always on the look out for more good books on theology, especially one that my older kids could read, too, and this sounds like it would be great for them!The World of the Blue Bells Trilogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01442124199063310562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13263155.post-15886447131431137632010-12-05T15:37:23.001-06:002010-12-05T15:37:23.001-06:00I second Joann's comment.

He's a super straight arrow, not to mention Archbishop Chaput's imprimatur.

Thanks for the review and glad you enjoyed it. One that I reviewed this year that I totally was inspired by was Cheryl Dickow's "Our Jewish Roots" Great book about the OT women and their roles in Salvation History.<br /><br />Also, I wrote a post about the Mass being capitalized and treated as a proper noun when referring to our celebration.<br /><br />Again, thanks for the share!Ebethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090396741792229132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13263155.post-46226359390038741562010-11-30T06:13:26.475-06:002010-11-30T06:13:26.475-06:00Oooh, this sounds exciting!

He always gets disgusted by how esoteric things get; he wants something practical and down to earth. What do you think? Does this fit that bill?Kathleen@so much to say, so little timehttp://www.kathleenbasi.comnoreply@blogger.com
