The Words of Jesus in Our Gospels: A Catholic Response to Fundamentalism is a theological and exegetical work written in response to the fundamentalist approach to the Bible. It aims to provide Catholics with guidance in understanding and interpreting the words of Jesus in the Gospels, while also offering a theological critique of rigid fundamentalist readings, which often ignore the Bible's historical and literary context. Marrow also teaches that reading the Bible as a Catholic means reading in faith with the Church, respecting the historical context, and seeking the core message of Jesus' words, rather than simply being trapped in a rigid, often misguided literalism.
