The following books contain brief introductions to each book of the Bible.

You Can Understand The Bible: A Practical And Illuminating Guide To Each Book In The Bible by Peter Kreeft

I find The Biblical software Verbum very helpful. That is the Catholic version of Logos. It is possible to add on many resources / digital books in Logos onto your Verbum software.


On the Gospel of Matthew I find the series of commentaries by Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis very helpful

Fire of Mercy, Heart of the Word: Meditations on the Gospel According to Saint Matthew in 3 volumes


The following are a variety of Scripture commentaries

Jesus of Nazareth: From the Baptism in the Jordan to the Transfiguration by Pope Benedict XVI
Jesus of Nazareth: Holy Week: From the Entrance Into Jerusalem To The Resurrection by Pope Benedict XVI
The Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture is a new series of Catholic commentaries.
Ignatius Catholic Study Bible: New Testament contains commentary notes on the New Testament
A Catholic Introduction to the Bible: Old Testament by John Bergsma and Brandt Pitre is excellent and should be on the shelf of everyone interested in getting to know the Old Testament better.
I have used Introduction to the Prophets: Their Stories, Sayings, and Scrolls by LeClerc as the textbook for a course on the Prophets
