Description

“With copious historical and theological notes, incisive commentary and tools for study, the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible New Testament is outstanding for private devotion, personal study and Bible study groups. It is excellent for evangelization and apologetics as well!” — Stephen Ray , Host of The Footprints of God series; Author of Upon This Rock p>“Once a generation a truly unique Bible tool is given to the Church. The Ignatius Study Bible is a gift for our generation. This is the most important book since the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Every parish study group and every student of Sacred Scripture should own and use this Bible.” — David Currie Author, Born Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic p>“The Ignatius Study Bible is a triumph of both piety and scholarship in the best Catholic tradition: simply the most useful succinct commentary that any Christian or other interested person could hope for.” — Erasmo Leiva , Author, Fire of Mercy, Heart of the Word "I am often asked to recommend a study Bible for Catholics, but I have never been able to do so without reservation . . . until now! At last there is a Catholic study Bible that has all of the things you need for an ideal Scripture study experience: a literal version of the biblical text so that you can grasp details that otherwise would be lost in translation, study helps that are theologically orthodox, introductions that respect Christian tradition instead of presenting the ideas of secular biblical scholarship as if they were gospel truth, a faith-building rather than faith-subverting perspective, plus copious notes, word studies, essays, charts, maps, and indexes to help you get the most out of God's word. Trust me. The Ignatius Catholic Study Bible New Testament is the one you've been waiting for!" Jimmy Akin , author of The Salvation Controversy , and Catholic Answers Curtis Mitch, M.A. , is principal annotator and Associate Editor of the Ignatius Study Bible series. He is also a research fellow of the St Paul Center for Biblical Theology and a biblical commentator.

BEST Study New Testament on the market today!

I am a Biblical Theologian and devout Roman Catholic and HIGHLY suggest this New Testament to everyone including non-Catholics who want to understand the New Testament better.

This version is much more in depth with notes and entire histories along with cross references to the Catechism of the Catholic Church and many other tools to make understanding much clearer.

I use this New Testament almost daily and always when I study the Bible!

If you like the Navarre Bible you will surly love this New Testament which has much clearer notations on almost every verse of the New Testament.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a BIG book for just a New Testament due to the eminence amount of notes, study tools and information. I have not seen a more complete Study New Testament on the market that covers so much information.
You simply can not go wrong in purchasing this Study New Testament and EVERY Theology student would be wise to have a copy of this fabulous tool.

Solid translation and notes

There is no better authentic, easy-to-read Catholic study bible (well, New Testament anyway) than this. Thanks be to God for Dr. Scott Hahn! I can't wait for the Old Testament version!!

Wonderful book. I cannot recommend it highly enough

If there were 10 stars, it'd get 11. I love this book. Very easy to start and easy to get through. It is surprising how many things are in the scriptures and are so obvious, but for some reason I never recognize them. He breaks down every verse very well with historical context and references to other scripture as well as Church doctrine.

Ignatius Catholic Study Bible: New Testament

This book will be excellent for study bible class. The off white pages makes it easy to read. The heavier quality of the pages makes footnoting no problem. I am awaiting for the O.T. version to come out so I can purchase it also. The bible was everything I expected and more.

A must have for 19th Annotation

This is a gem of a study Bible. Only NT so consider this a supplement. Leather binding is excellent. Pages are not flimsey film but substantial and you can make marginal notes without bleeding through. The commentary, footnotes, and references are well done and thoroughly up to date. Make no mistake, this edition is for Jesuit thinking and mature formation. It is designed to be used, not put on a shelf or tucked in a drawer so I recommend getting the leather edition for an extra $10 because it will wear well, lies flat and feels good in the hand. You'll need a bunch of marker ribbons but it is better to make your own. A trip to your local fabric store will get you all the ribbons and colors that you need and then a little glue and a small scrap of leather or fabric will give you a much better product than you can possibly buy. Spiritual formation should be fun!

Fantastic study bible

Fantastic study bible. I especially love the the paper and font. The color, texture and thickness of the paper makes this my favorite bible to read. It's like reading a novel with no bleed through from back of pages. I really hope the Old Testament version uses the same type of paper.
