Scripture Study Resources
There are many good resources to both aid and encourage your study of Exodus and Scripture in General. Several are either written by or edited by Scott Hahn. Scott Hahn is probably the foremost Catholic Scripture Scholar in the country. Since the late 1980’s Scott has reignited interest in Bible Study with his enthusiasm and very readable style. Among books that are a must on your Bible Study list should be the following by Scott Hahn: A Father Who Keeps His Promises, Scripture Matters and The Catholic Bible Dictionary. Another important book is Pathways In Scripture by Damasus Winzen with a foreword by Dr. Hahn. Pathways is a solid guide to Scriptural types and symbolism. All of these books are available in our parish library.

Another must-read for those studying Scripture is "Dei Verbum." You can find it on the Vatican web site at http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_const_19651118_dei-verbum_en.html (or you can just Google "Dei Verbum" and find it that way). Don't worry - it's not written in Latin! It is the Second Vatican Council’s Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation. It explains very well the Church's view of Divine Revelation and Holy Scripture. It's good stuff!
