As Catholics in ever-growing numbers are taking part in Bible studies, many questions arise. How do I study the Bible? Where do I begin? Is it OK to interpret the Bible for ourselves? What Bible should I use? How can I understand such a deep book as the Gospel of St. John? How can I be guided in my studies?

Stephen Ray answers all of these questions. He takes the difficult and makes it easy, and takes the confusion and makes things clear. This is a book to answer the questions and give a simple start for a beginner while providing the depth and profundity for the scholar. This book is one of a kind. It is the first extensive, easy to use and thoroughly Catholic study guide available.

This book can serve as a basic Bible study guide for working through the Gospel of John by helping the student plumb the depths of St. John's marvelous and deeply spiritual Gospel.
