== Tools for exegesis == To better understand scripture, we can employ intellectual tools, not just the interpretation of others. For existing interpretation, start with the Catechism of the Catholic Church (see below for links). Then go to your own Bible for footnotes. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) New American Bible has extensive footnotes and links to related verses (link below) and is very easy to navigate. The most important tool for Biblical exegesis is the [[Senses of Scripture]], which is an interpretative tool or paradigm for looking at Scripture through its various meanings as seen as * literal * allegorical * moral * anagogical Thomas Aquinas taught that faith and reason are both gifts from God, so when reading Scripture we should look at it through both faith and reason and seek how each works with the other.
