Bible Commentary

[deheister]

I went looking for Reginald Fuller’s “A New Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture”, but struck out since it is out of print.

As an alternative, I ordered “The International Bible Commentary: A Catholic and Ecumenical Commentary for the Twenty-First Century” by William Reuben Farmer. The Table of Contents lists all the books in the Catholic Bible.

Is it safe to rely on this commentary?
