Roman Catholic Commentaries, which are they?

Recommended Posts

I was thinking of buying some Roman Catholic (RCC) commentaries, but found very little by searching the Accordance sales platform. I did note that some of the Anchor Bible series is written by Roman Catholics, but they were not designated. So I searched the list of NT commentaries and found by research that the following are RCC commentaries:

 

 

Mark 1-8 (Vol. 27) by Joel Marcus (2002)

Mark 8-16 (Vol. 27A) by Joel Marcus (2009)

Luke I-IX (Vol. 28) by Joseph A. Fitzmyer (1970)

Luke X-XXIV (Vol. 28A) by Joseph A. Fitzmyer (1985)

John I-XII (Vol. 29) by Raymond E. Brown (1995)

John XIII-XXI (Vol. 29A) by Raymond E. Brown (1970)

Acts of the Apostles (Vol. 31) by Joseph A. Fitzmyer (1998)

Romans (Vol. 33) by Joseph A. Fitzmyer (1993)

First Corinthians (Vol. 32 - 2nd Edition) by Joseph A. Fitzmyer (2008)

Letter to Philemon (Vol. 34C) by Joseph A. Fitzmyer (2000)

Letter of James (Vol. 37A) by Luke Timothy Johnson (2005)*

2 Peter, Jude (Vol. 37C) by Jerome H. Neyrey (1994)

Epistles of John (Vol. 30) by Raymond E. Brown (1995)

 

*I am not sure that commentaries by Luke Johnson would be considered RCC, though apparently he is a Roman Catholic, and a former monk. (I don't know if his books have the nihil obstat / imprimatur or not.)

 

I have not yet searched the OT. Does anyone know off hand which of them are RCC?

Also, any other commentaries from a set that are RCC would be something I would like to know.

 

I wonder if Accordance would wish to enable an easy search to find the commentaries by members of particular denominations or religions? Perhaps there should be a Roman Catholic commentary package.

 

If anyone has a correction, addition, or subtraction to my list, I would be grateful to know about it. Probably some would like to know also which of them have nihil obstat / imprimatur on them also.

While not 100% roman catholic or receiving any imprimatur many RCC scholars contributed to the NIB and it covers the entire Canon of the Bible as used by the RCC.

Thanks a lot, Dan. That is the same info that one gets on the Anchor Bible; but it doesn't tell which volumes are RCC. Of course the New Interp's Bible I expect is not nearly so voluminous as the Anchor series; so probably one would not be buying just the volumes which are RCC in POV or origin.
