YOUCAT Bible: An Introduction to the Bible with Selected Biblical Texts

It's filled with engaging photos, clever and fun illustrations by YOUCAT's award-winning designer, insightful sidebar quotes from great thinkers, Catholic saints and leaders, past and present, and young people living their faith today. It includes helpful introductions to the books of the Bible and short, easy-to- understand commentaries by some of today's top Bible teachers. Plus, an index of biblical names, terms, and topics.

Based on the popular Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition of the Ignatius Bible, the YOUCAT Bible carefully abridges the biblical text to help young people to follow the "story" of the Bible. It also includes a special preface by Pope Francis.

"You are holding something divine in your hands ... A book through which God speaks."
-- Pope Francis, from the preface to the YOUCAT Bible

A superb book for high school classes, for regular faith-formation, for youth ministry and for young adult discussion.
