THE BIBLE AND THE PRIESTHOOD Priestly Participation in the One Sacrifice for Sins Anthony Giambrone, OP A CATHOLIC BIBLICAL THEOLOGY OF THE SACRAMENTS Timothy C. Gray and John Sehorn, series editors In this volume, a leading Catholic scholar offers a biblical theology of the priesthood rooted in the Old and New Testaments. Half a millennium after the Protestant Reformation and in the midst of an ongoing clerical crisis in the Catholic Church, The Bible and the Priesthood presents a comprehensive biblical vision and defense of the sacramental priesthood and an informed theological response to the problem of priestly sin. It gives expression to the ministerial priesthood’s biblically grounded, sacramental share in the sacrificial ministry of Jesus Christ. “An exegetically sound grounding of the office of the priesthood in the biblical tradition.” —GARY A. ANDERSON, University of Notre Dame “A profoundly biblical theology of the priesthood that will illuminate exegetes, fundamental theologians, and dogmaticians alike.” —NINA HEEREMAN, St. Patrick’s Seminary & University “A splendid work of unimpeachable scholarship.” —ROMANUS CESSARIO, OP, Ave Maria University
