I wonder which Bible translation they used?
I'm guessing RSV-CE as this is the translation I've heard both Aquilina and Madrid use.
ReplyDeleteI'm sort of disappointed by the concept of this book. While (I think) the idea is to get non-biblical Catholics to start the process of becoming biblical Catholics - an idea which I applaud - I don't really understand why Mr. Madrid's meditations should provide the daily interpretive lesson. I don't mean any disrespect to Patrick, who is a fine Catholic writer, apologist and scholar, but I wonder exactly how the meditations would be any different or teach a hermeneutic any different than (say) the Max Lucado or Joel Osteen study Bibles. Being an Aquilina publication, I'm sure there will be copious quotations from the Fathers, and perhaps (hopefully) this is where Mr. Madrid will draw the whole of his interpretive wisdom from. Anything less would be, I think, misleading.
Yeah, my guess would also be the RSV-CE.
