Come and See: David and the Psalms is a Catholic Bible study that covers the Book of Psalms, Ruth, and 1 and 2 Samuel.
As author Fr. Joseph L. Ponessa explains, “Praying the Psalms is Davidic, Christ-like, and godly.” This study provides rich context and background to important books of the Old Testament, relating them to the New Testament and the life of the Church today.
This study uses inductive and deductive learning, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the writings of popes and saints to unlock an ancient treasure and show its current application. The Come and See series is ideal for group or personal Scripture Study.
