New Delhi:Vice President M. Hamid Ansari on Sunday released the book ‘South Asia Bible Commentary’ at a function organised at Cathedral Church of the Redemption in New Delhi.
Speaking about the book, Ansari said that the message of the Bible is essentially one of love and compassion which runs like a common thread through all religious traditions.
The publication of a collection of commentaries on one of the holiest texts in the world is a reason to celebrate, he said while expressing his happiness to know that over 90 learned scholars from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal have contributed to the book.
He commended the editors and the publishers for the commentary of the Bible – encompassing both the Old and New Testaments. He hoped that the commentary will make the text more accessible to a large number of people, particularly in South Asia and enable them to imbibe the message of love and compassion that Bible has for all human kind.
