What you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. (2 Tim. 2:2)

The Congregation for the Clergy has a new online resource, Biblia Clerus , excellent for clergy, catechists, and anyone seeking to read the Word of God in light of the Christian Tradition. An electronic text of the Bible (Latin Vulgate, RSV, NAB) is linked, passage by passage, to pertinent commentaries of the Church Fathers, doctors and saints, Magisterial letters and encyclicals, liturgical texts, and catechisms.

The sheer amount of commentary is overwhelming (and more will no doubt be coming, as the site is developed and further translated). But for those who want to get their feet wet in the deep Christian tradition of hermeneutics and lectio divina , this is a valuable resource.
