Bible Study
These are books that I have found particularly useful in Bible study. I don't agree with everything in them, and they aren't all written from a Catholic perspective, but they still contain valuable information that will benefit the Bible student. One note: These books are about Bible study rather than apologetics, so they tend to be free of the polemical angle that you'd expect in an apologetics book.
