β¦ Synopsis
It has been more than a decade since I began my personal studies on Scripture and Church teachings. Over these years, I have referenced 100s of books or written sources on the Bible and the Catholic Church, own several dozens of Study Bible apparatuses, read the Church Fathers (and still reading), explored Catholicism and Christian apologetics.

And it's useless, if I don't share it - after all, whatever skills we have we have to use it to glorify the Lord and help his holy Church. The book explains Bible and Canon.
