There is an increasing hunger among Catholics to review the Bible in depth and in a way that integrates Scripture with Catholic doctrine, worship, and day-to-day life. In October 2008, a meeting of the world Synod of Bishops scheduled by Pope Benedict XVI will center of attention on “The Word of God within the Life and Mission of the Church.” Coinciding with that meeting is the launch of the Catholic Observation on Sacred Scripture (C.C.S.S.), a series that responds to the will of Catholics to get right of entry to the living Word of God. The Gospel of Mark is the first of seventeen volumes, with the intention to cover all the New Testament. Written by trusted Catholic biblical scholars, these commentaries interpret Scripture within the light of Catholic tradition. Accessibly written yet substantive, the C.C.S.S. fills a gap within the to be had literature by offering commentaries that cover more than brief study guides but are less daunting than scholarly commentaries.
