Catholic News Service Bible Resources and BLOG!

Last week Catholic News Service launched its Bible Blog, a series of stories on books of the Bible or aspects of biblical study by some excellent scholars in Rome, the U.S. and Canada. Each scholar will post a 300-500 word piece almost daily throughout and after the world Synod of Bishops on the Bible, which runs Oct. 5-26 at the Vatican.



The Catholic News Service link is http://www.catholicnews.com/biblesynod/ I think you will find this a fascinating place to visit. Let me suggest that you subscribe to the RSS feed, which will let you know when the site has been updated!
