This is the best forum i could find for this, but if its in the wrong spot please move it. I am looking for an online catholic bible study program or course. Not in the sense with discussion or anything, but more in the sense where it breaks down eat book in the NT and helps me understand the catholic understanding of it. Of course I’m talking about one approved by the church. I enjoy reading the scripture but find myself puzzled often and would like to have a resource to help me. I looked thru the stick forum up top but it lacked the break down of books how I wanted it. Any help would be appreciated.
God Bless

A great Catholic software Bible Study Program and best of all its free for download and nothing out there compares to this, its also going to get better.
From:
http://www.esnips.com/web/CatholicApolegetics
What we have here at this web site a synopsis:
These are all eSword modules-Bibles, Commentaries, Dictionaries, and Topical all for the eSword base Bible software program… All to help Catholics and those interested in knowing more or understanding what the Catholic Church truly teaches and why. All modules are free as well as the Base esword program for download. The Base progam is a free download at:
http://www.e-sword.net/downloads.html .
e-Sword is a fast and effective way to study the Bible.
e-Sword is feature rich and user friendly with more capabilities than you would expect in a free software package. The fact that e-Sword is free is just one of the blessings and does not speak of the quality of the software. I make my living writing software and I believe I have put forth my best effort in this endeavor. The real work, however, was put in by the godly men and women who devoted countless years creating the texts that have been made available for our benefit. (From the e-sword Web site Rick Myers)
The Program has the ability to accept user created modules hence a substantial number of user Catholic modules including the
Early Teachings of the Church in the first few centuries (
a must read),** Haydock Commentary, St Thomas works** in the Catena commentary on Gospels by early church fathers, and his Summa Theologica, a number of Catholic Bibles, Catechism, 1909
Catholic encyclopedia another must, a
Catholic Doctrinal Concordance, and a number of special tools for studying the Bible With
Greek and Latin tools for studying the basic Greek Grammer and Latin language to enhance one’s understanding of definitions etc. This has become a consolidation of free modules for e-Sword base progam, modules scattered across ensips web, and a few other websites on the internet all to make for easier download and finding of Catholic modules and good study tools. Michael Jacques.
Hoping to add some good Catholic commentary and dictionaries that are new and undercopyright, which would be great editions at a $ Cost. (Looking for the Navarre commentary, Ignatius commentary, Father Harden’s dictionary and a few others)
A Free Greek English-Hebrew English interlinear Bible which is better than the interlinear for e-Sword is available at
