It draws insights from the best of modern scholarship as well as the best of the Catholic tradition of interpretation through the ages.</p><p>It explains the historical, cultural, literary, and archaeological background of Scripture, while at the same time looking to the Fathers, Doctors, and Councils of the Church for insight into its theological and spiritual teachings.
