The Navarre Bible: The Psalms and
The Song of Solomon (The Navarre
Bible: Old Testament) by University
of Navarre
And Yet Another. . .
This volume of the Navarre Bible commentaries sheds light on the simple
beauty of the Psalms and Song of Solomon (Song of Songs). The
Catechism teaches that the Psalms, whether hymns or prayers of
lamentation or thanksgiving, whether individual or communal, whether
royal chants, songs of pilgrimage or wisdom-meditations…are a mirror of
God’s marvelous deeds in the history of his people, as well as reflections
of the human experiences of the Psalmist. Even though they often
reflect events of the past, the Psalms still possess such direct simplicity
and depth that they can be prayed sincerely in all times and conditions.
This edition with its illuminating commentary will help make these prayers
an important part of your life. This sturdy hardcover contains the
complete Latin and English texts of each book; commentary based on the

writings of the great saints and doctors of the Church; and material on
each book’s historical and Biblical context.
Personal Review: The Navarre Bible: The Psalms and The Song
of Solomon (The Navarre Bible: Old Testament) by University of
Navarre
. . .addition to an outstanding series! This series provides a desperately
needed resource for the serious Catholic Scripture student.
Now that the Navarre Bible New Testament project has been completed,
the editors have turned their attention to the Old Testament. This volume
"Psalms & Song of Solomon" is the fourth result of that effort, following up
on the well-received "Chronicles to Macabees".
This volume is interesting because of the editorial choice to include the
Song of Solomon with the translation of the Psalms. It is my hope that
those (many) persons who are familiar with the Psalms but NOT the Song
of Solomon will take the opportunity to explore this very interesting book of
the Bible
The primary text is the Catholic version of the widely regarded "Revised
Standard Version". Included as well is the New Latin Vulgate. Sandwiched
between is excellent expository verse-by-verse commentary on the
Scripture text. The commentary is taken from a conservative, tradition, yet
scholarly Catholic perspective.
Very Highly Recommended
