In this video, we go through three simple ways to find out exactly if the Bible you have is Catholic, plus a quick look at the translations I have.

This is a question I get asked a lot, and the answer is more nuanced than you might think.

I talk about the difference between Catholic and Protestant translations (Martin Luther and the 7 missing books), what the Church says about picking translations, and what Bibles I personally use.

Translations mentioned in this video:

• New American Bible Revised Edition (NABRE)
• New Catholic Bible (NCB)
• New Living Translation Catholic Edition (NLT CE)
• Revised Standard Version 2nd Catholic Edition (RSV-2CE)
• English Standard Version Catholic Edition (ESV-CE)
• New International Version (NIV)

Many of us think of work as stress, survival, exhaustion, or productivity, but the Bible begins with a very different vision of work.

"Preach the Gospel at all times; use words if necessary." St. Francis of Assisi said that! Or did he?

Apparently not.

The idea of having your own personal Bible is a relatively recent phenomenon in Church history. For most Christians, Scripture was heard in the Liturgy, told through art, and prayed in community. But now that we have it, how are we making the most of it?

In this video, I feature a small gift from Feast Books and reflect on how having our personal Bible time is a gift.

I went to Kidapawan City last week with the Bible Nerds to lead a day-and-a-half long program all about how to read Scripture, highlighting it is a work of ancient literature. This entire event was organized and hosted by the Feasters in Kidapawan.
