    "The Wisdom of Solomon was the last book of the Catholic Old Testament to be written. It develops Jewish belief in God for a new era, influenced by the ideas of Greek philosophers. Giszczak's commentary offers a clearly presented introduction to this fascinating but enigmatic scriptural book, providing salient quotations from Jewish and Greek sources to illustrate the intellectual background. Useful features include sidebars making connections with Christian life, a glossary explaining technical words, and several illustrations. I commend this commentary to all who wish to understand the Wisdom of Solomon in light of Catholic teaching."--Jeremy Corley, St. Patrick's Pontifical University"This commentary is perfectly designed to make the Wisdom of Solomon comprehensible, accessible, and relevant to Catholic believers. It balances helpful background about the Hellenistic Jewish context in which the book originated with connections to the Catholic traditions of liturgy and theology, from the early Church Fathers to the twentieth century. The numerous 'Reflection and Application' and 'In the Light of Christ' sections make apparent the relevance of the Wisdom of Solomon to contemporary Christian life."--Karina Hogan, Fordham UniversityPraise for the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture"The New Testament volumes in this series have served me as a constant resource: deeply scholarly, firmly in touch with the Catholic tradition, and impressively readable and teachable. But among Christians today, the Old Testament often is neglected or treated as unintelligible--with the result being a tragic impoverishment of faith. Giszczak's inaugural Old Testament volume is evidence that the same qualities that have set this series apart will be on display in its commentaries on the Old Testament. All Catholics should have these trustworthy volumes at hand."--Matthew Levering, Mundelein SeminaryFor more information on the series, visit www.CatholicScriptureCommentary.com

    The Old Testament volumes in the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture series integrate the best of contemporary biblical scholarship with the traditional understanding of the Old Testament as prophesying and prefiguring Christ. Accessibly written yet substantive, series volumes include quotations from Church documents, Church Fathers, and saints.In this commentary on Ezekiel, Daniel Keating interprets Scripture from within the living tradition of the Church to help pastoral ministers, lay readers, and students understand the Bible more deeply and use it more effectively."Daniel Keating provides more than a reliable and readable guide to the book of Ezekiel. Through his judicious selection of biblical intertexts, early Christian interpretations, and Church traditions, he reveals and illuminates the book's many exegetical puzzles and theological challenges as well as its significance for modern people of faith. This is a welcome addition to the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture."--William Tooman, University of St. Andrews"Keating's work on Ezekiel provides clarity on a challenging Old Testament prophet! The reader of his commentary will find it useful on several levels."--Donna Petter, Gordon-Conwell Theological SeminaryPraise for the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture"The New Testament volumes in this series have served me as a constant resource: deeply scholarly, firmly in touch with the Catholic tradition, and impressively readable and teachable.
