Monthly Web Picks

This month let's look at the Bible online.

Catholicfirst.com has a Bible Names Dictionary containing 2,500 Bible and Bible-related proper names and their meanings at catholicfirst.com/TheFaith/Bible/BibleNames/b iblenames.htm. You may want to look up your name's meaning out of curiosity. On the “Catholic First” main page, you will find a link to the Douay-Rheims Bible and a biblical search engine as well for this version.

Looking for a different version of the Bible? Head over to the bishops' site for the New American Bible at nccbuscc.org/nab/bible.

St. Charles Borromeo Parish in Picayune, Miss., has an online Bible study based on the Liturgical Calendar at scborromeo.org/bible. htm.

A Catholic quick-reference doctrinal concordance can be found at infpage.com/concordance. It is not a comprehensive concordance, but it is helpful in researching aspects of the faith on which Catholics and other Christians disagree. It's available in French and Spanish, also.

It's always a good idea to check with the Catechism of the Catholic Church on Sacred Scripture at scborromeo.org/ccc/p1s1c2a3.htm. I would recommend reading the whole section on Divine Revelation beginning at scborromeo.org/ccc/p1s1c 2a1.htm.

There are many more links concerning various biblical topics found in my online directory Bible category at monksofadoration.org/Bibletxt.html.
