What People Are Saying
About Threshold Bible Study

Endorsed by leading scholars, bishops, pastors, and the thousands of Catholics
(and their friends) who have been touched and changed by it.
Threshold Bible Study offers solid scholarship and spiritual depth. Drawing on the Church's
living Tradition and the Jewish roots of the New Testament, Threshold Bible Study can be
counted on for lively individual study and prayer, even while it offers spiritual riches to
deepen communal conversation and reflection among the people of God.”
Scott Hahn
Professor of biblical theology, Franciscan University of Steubenville

“Threshold Bible Study offers those who want to begin faith-filled and prayerful study of the
Bible with a user-friendly tool that is made just for them. Each volume is made up of short
chapters with a biblical text, a brief but insightful commentary, focused questions, and a
prayer. These books will open readers to a new and stimulating way to encounter the
Word of God.”
Leslie J. Hoppe, OFM
Professor of Old Testament Studies, Catholic Theological Union, Chicago

“Threshold Bible Study is a refreshing approach to enable participants to ponder the
Scriptures more deeply. The thematic material is clearly presented with a mix of information
and spiritual nourishment. The questions are thoughtful and the principles for group
discussion are quite helpful. This series provides a practical way for faithful people to get to
know the Bible better and to enjoy the fruits of biblical prayer.”
Irene Nowell, OSB
Mount St. Scholastica, Atchison, Kansas, Editorial committee for Old Testament translation of the New
American Bible

“The distance many feel between the Word of God and their every-day lives can be
overwhelming. It need not be so. Threshold Bible Study is a fine blend of the best of biblical
scholarship and a realistic sensitivity to the spiritual journey of the believing Christian. I
recommend it highly.”
