The "Catholic Study Bible" column lists biblical readings
with abbreviated book names and chapter numbers;
In this column, "RG" refers to pages in the "Reading
Guides" at the front; "Ref." refers to the "Reference
Articles" in the back.
The "Gilles" and "Rausch" columns indicate the
chapters to be read in these two textbooks, respectively.
For additional online materials, see Catholic-Resources.org
(my own website, esp. biblical materials) or Wikipedia.com
