Ignatius Catholic Study Bible: New Testament

By Anthony Tobin, Mobile, Ala. - St. Ignatius

Do you feel like you don’t know the Bible as well as you should? Do you want to know it better? The truth is that we Catholics are not as familiar with the Sacred Scripture as we should be. St. Jerome’s popular words should give us chills;
“Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ!”
There is no need to be worried anymore. Ignatius Press has just released the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible New Testament, (Revised Standard Version, 2nd Catholic Edition), with commentary by Dr. Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch.

Dr. Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch, renowned Catholic scholars, are paving the way for Catholics to rediscover the treasure of the Church, namely Sacred Scripture, and leading to the rediscovery of Christ.

This Study Bible has comprehensive commentary on the text, an introduction and outline for each book, topical essays, a concise concordance, and an index of New Testament references to Catholic Doctrine. The only bad thing is that only the New Testament is available, right now. We will have to wait a while for the Old Testament to be finished, but hopefully not long.

This Ignatius Study Bible is truly a must! We as Catholics need to reconnect with our biblical roots and this Study Bible is a great tool for doing so.
