The Living the Word Catholic Women\u2019s Bible, published by Ave Maria Press, “differentiates” itself by including essays, book introductions, and a generous variety of reflections by Catholic women who are scholars, teachers, and evangelists. There are also a wealth of quotes from female saints scattered throughout the text (it includes almost four-hundred pages of special features created for women by women!). Sarah Christmyer served as editor for the included essays, and the foreword was written by Mary Healy, one of the editors of the excellent Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture series. All the supplemental material bears an imprimatur from Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades of Fort Wayne-South Bend, Indiana.
\nThe Ave Maria Press is a ministry of the Congregation of Holy Cross (USA), a community of Catholic priests and brothers founded by Blessed Basil Moreau in France in 1837. The Congregation’s mission is to serve as educators in the faith, educating both the mind and the heart through their teaching, pastoral works and their mission.<\/p>\n
