Even more so when those words are communicating the very Word of God in the Bible. Since, as Saint Ambrose tells us, God himself speaks to us in the word of Scripture, then the accuracy of those words should matter to us.With The Gospel of Matthew, the Augustine Institute inaugurates the first of the biblical books to be translated as part of the Catholic Standard Version (CSV), a new translation of the Holy Bible. The CSV strives to translate the Scriptural text with the highest level of accuracy in its rendering of the original languages, as well as the highest degree of clarity and beauty, making the CSV the perfect translation for both prayerful reading and serious study.To open your heart to God’s Word, this printing includes not only the CSV translation of the Gospel according to Saint Matthew, but also a “how to” for praying with Scripture and beautiful prompts for each chapter of the Gospel.
