Bible reference

In this one-volume commentary, an international interfaith team of 70 Biblical scholars offers exegesis of Biblical texts as historical criticism, classic literature, and canonical criticism. The treatment is gender inclusive with a very open, modern approach to topics that touch on sexuality and every private and public moral question of scripture. Each book, including the Apocrypha, has an introduction and chapter-end bibliography. At its moderate price and inclusive tone, it will appeal to the casual seeker and scholar alike and serve as a jump-off place for more in-depth study.

Joy Bencivenga lives in Franklin, Mass.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
