More than any other study edition of the Bible on the market, the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible is "like a householder who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old" (Mt 13:52). It draws insights from the best of modern scholarship as well as the best of the Catholic tradition of interpretation through the ages. It explains the historical, cultural, literary, and archaeological background of Scripture, while at the same time looking to the Fathers, Doctors, and Councils of the Church for insight into its theological and spiritual teachings. The result is a veritable library of Bible study resources, all under one cover, designed to help readers understand the written Word of God and apply its lessons to their lives today. It is simply the most ambitious undertaking of its kind in our generation.

First of all the package itself, it travelled well. The dust sleeve it comes with tuck the brunt on the impact through travel. The bible itself, beautiful leather and fantastic quality. Now on opening the bible I have heard people say they are missing pages. John being the affected pages on page 1883. I can confirm that the pages are all intact in my copy. Inside the bible is the contents pages, abbreviations, contributing writers, Introduction to the Ignatius Catholic study bible, The Catholic church and sacred scripture, The Catholic canon of scripture, overview of salvation history, introduction to the Pentateuch and then before every story in the bible is an introduction to the story. Half the pages are bible stories other half is bible study. There are fantastic charts and charts scattered throughout, word study the list goes on. Highly recommend this bible to everyone. A must have for any catholic but also worth an investment for people of different faiths due to the extra apocrypha. I am having so much fun reading this and studying the bible in a never before way. Thank you to Ignatius for working over the 20 something years to create this. Review: Very much worth the hype and the cost - This is the best study bible I've encountered, and as a former Protestant, I've read quite a few. This takes a very balanced look at scholarship, choosing a God orientated approach rather than atheistic secular biases. There are lots of cross references to scripture, the church fathers and the catechism. There are deeper articles on important topics, diagrams, word studies... it's making reading the OT history books much easier and more enjoyable. I've already learned a lot and I've only read a fraction of this very detailed and extensive work. Bravo. I bought the leather cover, note this is soft, which I didn't realise, and I'd have preferred the hardcover personally. It is beautiful though, and I can't bear to part with it to replace it! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 9,165 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,141 Reviews | ## Images ![Ignatius Catholic Study Bible: Old and New Testaments - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+mWHv8yVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fantastic edition to anyone's library *by K***R on 3 May 2025* I don't normally do reviews but as I have been looking for a particular catholic bible for some time and this is the one I've been waiting for I cannot help leave a review.
