Faith Database Now Available

by Steve Ray on January 13, 2011

Faith Database is an incredible resource for Catholics who want to have Bible Study and Catholic Research at their fingertips.

“Ecumenical” Bible Studies

Without a teaching authority, this is really true of most Bible studies. I remember Bible Studies that started out with “What does this passage mean to you?” Who cares???? What matters is – what did author intend in the context of his own time and how has the Church understood it for 2,000 years!

Bible Study is for Catholics!

by Steve Ray on September 28, 2010
