I just received a copy of Scott Hahn's "Understanding the Scriptures: A Complete Course on Bible Study." This is an incredible book! It's hardcover, 9 x 11 inches, 548 pages, full color (BEAUTIFUL) art masterpieces and photographs, maps, charts, timelines; and an attached ribbon bookmark (a nice touch) FOR ONLY $40.
After Hahn discusses what the Bible is, divine inspiration, salvation history, covenant, the canon, inerrancy, etc., he launches into a chronological study of the Bible. Study aids include supplementary reading, study questions, vocabulary, and practical exercises; quotations from the Catechism of the Catholic Church pepper the entire book.
The text employs typology and other exegetical tools throughout, and highlights the Bible's overarching theme of Covenant. It's all written in Hahn's inimitable and utterly engaging style. Lots of "Oh, wow, how cool" moments (if "cool" is appropriate in this context).
The book is part of the Didache Series, developed for "high school and adult education, RCIA, catechism classes, and home schooling."
Well. I could go on and on. I'll stop.

This beautiful book is a must for every Catholic family. I know that it will be an important part of my family's homeschooling.
I won't detail the contents, since other reviewers will likely do so.
With so many Catholics realizing how little they know about their own faith, this book couldn't have come at a better time. The information is quite easy to read and is very accessible. For homeschooling (or adult renewal) the charts and graphs are extremely useful especially for those who have trouble connecting the scriptural dots.
Thank you, Scott Hahn. Keep 'em coming.
