Ignatius Catholic Study Bible: New Testament

Product Information

Because this tends to be a scholarly study Bible that bases its commentary and interpretation more on critical scholarship than on the Tradition of the Church, I would not recommend it for most readers. 4. Catholic Scripture Study Bible

By recognizing their suffering and martyrdom as an offering for the sins of their nation, they [the Maccabees] anticipate the Christian doctrine of redemptive suffering. We can offer our suffering in solidarity with the Cross of Christ for the sake of Christ’s Body, the Church (see Colossians 1:24).” Int. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. If you wish to have the best traditional, orthodox study notes, the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible is hard to beat. The Didache Bible is a close second. Both feature the top-notch RSV translation and their notes are generally faithful to Church tradition. The good news is that there are several excellent Catholic study Bibles, each with unique strengths. Protestants are often thought to have the best biblical resources available. But as I hope this survey shows, we Catholics are truly blessed. For those who are pursuing more academic or research oriented study of Scripture, we do await the completion of the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible. But for beginning to intermediate readers of Scripture, who primarily read Scripture devotionally or in parish Bible studies, the Great Adventure Catholic Bible is clearly the best choice. You need to see it and test it to really appreciate how it can change your life, your love of God and your understanding of His Word. And it's so easy to use!Int. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31.

Plus, not only will students have access to this powerful Bible App in the classroom, they can use it at home on their personal computer or even on the go with their smartphones (Android or iPhone). One app, powerful features synced across several platforms for a lifetime of use. Whether you are examining the Synoptic Gospels, the Letters of St. Paul, the entire New Testament or Scripture as a whole, this powerful, easy to use app brings reading the Bible, searching for content, sharing insights and going deeper with the wisdom of Scripture scholars to your fingertips. The essays tend not to be informed by or oriented toward the Church’s teaching. They are sympathetic to modern critical Scripture scholarship. For example, the introductory essay to the Pentateuch recommends the work of Mark Heim who argues that Israelite religion was a development of Canaanite religion thereby calling into question its revealed status and that monotheism (belief in one God) emerged only after the exilic period. The Catholic Study Bible features a translation close to what is used in Mass and contains the largest collection of study tools in a single volume. The NABRE’s modern-critical notes can serve as a good resource so long as they are understood for what they are. And the New Jerusalem Bible is an interesting—if not academically trustworthy—translation, with notes that reflect a mixture of traditional and modern views.

A solid Catholic study Bible is a good choice. But which study Bible is right? What are the differences among them? Here is a guide to the major Catholic study Bibles on the market. Another great feature is the way in which the essays on the time periods or covenants introduce not just the biblical text but Catholic spirituality. Take for example this comment from the essay on the Maccabean Revolt: The only Catholic Study Bible based on the Revised Standard Version 2nd Catholic Edition, the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible New Testament brings together all of the books of the New Testament and the penetrating study tools developed by renowned Bible teachers Dr. Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch.Although it is not marketed as such, the New Jerusalem Bible contains many common features of study bibles. It has a great cross-reference system and extensive notes. The Old Testament notes reflect modern critical scholarship (JEPD, late dates, pseudonymous writings, etc.); however, the New Testament notes are more traditional (rejecting Markan priority and “Q,” for example), though not completely traditional (2 Peter is said to be pseudonymous). Study Bibles are special editions of the Bible written specifically for students of the Bible. Study Bibles provide scholarly information designed to give the reader context and a more complete understanding of God’s Word. Scholarly information can come in several forms, from annotations that explain complex passages, articles and biographies of key characters, illustrations and other visuals, and more.
