Catalyst: "Welcome to the Bible" from Church Publishing, Inc., by Vicki K. Black & Peter W. Wenner, 122 pages, paperback, c. 2007, $12.95
[Source: Church Publishing, Inc.] New Episcopalians may be nervous about opening the Bible; others simply don't know how to begin. An often-overlooked gift of the Episcopal Church is that the texts and doctrines of the Bible are embedded in its prayers, liturgies, and creeds. Making that knowledge explicit and placing it in context can open the way for further and more in-depth study.
