- Mark Shea, Author, Making Senses Out of Scripture As Catholics in ever-growing numbers are taking part in Bible studies, many questions arise. How do I study the Bible? Where do I

begin? Is it OK to interpret the Bible for ourselves? What Bible should I use? How can I understand such a deep book as the Gospel of St. John? How can I be guided in my studies?
