| | Description | 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. This volume presents the written Word of God in a highly readable, accurate translation, excellent for personal and group study. Extensive study notes, topical essays and word studies provide fresh and faithful insights informed by time-tested, authentically Catholic interpretations from the Fathers of the Church and other scholars. Commentaries include the best insights of ancient, medieval and modern scholarship, and follow the Church s guidelines for biblical interpretation. Plus, each New Testament book is outlined and introduced with an essay covering questions of authorship, date of composition, intended audience and general themes. The Ignatius Study Bible also includes handy reference materials such as a doctrinal index, a concise concordance, a helpful cross-reference system, and various maps and charts. ''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
''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
''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.''

Study Questions for All-in-one Edition, Ignatius Catholic Study Bible --New Testament Jul 29, 2010
Protestant and Catholic alike will find the explanatory footnotes of this study bible of great value, as they are far more comprehensive and informative that those in the five other study bibles I personally have and have used. There is now more, however, that makes this New Testament well worth acquiring (and using).
The Ignatius Catholic Study Bible, RSV 2nd Catholic Edition New Testament previously came out as handy individual books covering one or a few of the New Testament books/letters.
One of the wonderful features of the individual books besides portability is that there are STUDY QUESTIONS for EVERY CHAPTER of EACH BOOK of the New Testament. These questions usually follow the format of four under the heading of "For Understanding" and four under "For Application." Specific verses are cited for each Understanding question set, so one can easily find the right page the question refers to. Taken together and addressing each question, you will find yourself truly studying and reflecting far more than you might otherwise. So helpful were they that I purchased and used each the individual books as they came to press. These questions are ideal for self study and for groups. The latter will probably choose to select from those questions given, because of time limitations involving group study and discussion, and some application questions may be too personal.
Only four questions in each category you ask? Not really, because each question actually contains a series of questions related to the biblical text and/or the commentary at the bottom of referenced page of text. Thus, if you choose a conscientious/educational/learning approach, you can spend quite a bit of time on each chapter, but you'll be richer for it.
The original descriptions (Amazon and the publisher's site) for the new all-in-one edition, Catholic Study Bible did not have any reference to study questions, because, SADLY, IGNATIUS CHOSE TO OMIT THE STUDY QUESTIONS from the final New Testament product. HOWEVER, AS OF JULY 27, 2010, I learned that Ignatius Press has put them on its website. THEY ARE AVAILABLE, FREE FOR DOWNLOAD in either zip or pdf format. Thanks go to Ignatius for making them available as a collection, though it would have been better if the questions were also included in the assembled final text. Be sure to scroll down on this page of the Ignatius Press site: [...] . The listing that includes the word "promotions" means, to me, (1) nothing, or (2) the availability is intended to be temporary. Perhaps in the future Ignatius will assemble/modify them in some way, possibly adding to them to create a complete bible study program to print and sell individually. That may be in the distant future or much sooner, especially if it is decided to produce and print a New Testament bible study program.
The moral? Download the questions now, while the getting is good, and free!
One more item: the individual study book for Genesis will be coming out in October. Other books will become available as they are finished.

 What I have to say Jul 28, 2010
While this is a very good and helpful edition of the New Testament, I will present my thoughts regarding this edition. Let's not forget that this translation is still rooted in a Protestant translation that the Catholic Biblical Association of Great Britain has undertaken to make for a Catholic edition of the Revised Standard Version, back in 1966. The Second Catholic Edition, RSV is better than the first edition as it is in conformity with "Liturgiam Authenticum." The annotations of the New Testament by Hahan and Mitch are very good and informative. The safest Bible for Catholics and the whole world for that matter, is the Douay-Rheims, especially the Haydock edition, which has truly extensive Catholic scholarly notes. I have noticed that the note to John 19:14 in the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible: New Testament is different from the note in the individual papberback edition of the Gospel of John. I do not know the reasoning for the change. Also, the maps are not so great. I particularly prefer physical feature maps because that feature adds depth. The Douay-Rheims is the Catholic Bible and really the best for Catholics. I would say that the RSV-CE 2nd edition is the best Bible after the Douay-Rheims. Quite frankly, Ignatius Press should have published the entire Ignatius Catholic Study Bible all at once instead of just the New Testament. By the way, the Confraternity New Testament is the best translation (begun in 1936 by the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. It is a revision of the Challoner- Rheims Version. A pocket-sized edition is sold really cheap by Scepter Publishers) of the New Testament. It's too bad that the entire Bible wasn't completed. The Church's only own translation of the Bible from the original languages is the New American Bible.

Highly Recommended Jul 26, 2010
This study of the New Testament is so easy to read and understand. Especially all the references and other scriptures that add to what you're reading. I highly recommend this study Bible to anyone wanting to understand and know our Lord and understand the Church that He gave us. It's awesome.

Solid translation and notes Jul 24, 2010
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!!

Love God and His Word ! You Will Love This Bible! Jul 24, 2010
This bible is a GREAT Help in bible study. Scott Hahn's conversion to the Catholic Church has been a real blessing to the Church. Scott and other converts are bringing NEW LIFE to the Church. They are excited about the truths they discovered in the Catholic Church. I share their excitement. I am a "cradle" Catholic who left the Church for 26 years for greener pastures. Scott Hahn brought me back with his great books. God Bless!
