Second, its ability to make the reader a master of Sacred Scripture. Anyone who spends time with this study Bible will be a great reader of Scripture. But it does require a big time and intellectual commitment. I wouldn’t think the ICSB would be great for beginners or for devotional reading as one would likely get overwhelmed by the content. 1. The Great Adventure Catholic Bible 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.

The following four translations of the Bible are all approved for Catholic use and are among the most commonly used translations.

First, let’s look at the three contemporary Catholic Scripture translations that are used for most Catholic study bibles. From the publisher: “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.” 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. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 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 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. It’s also worth mentioning that for those who want to delve more deeply into the contents of each individual book, Ascension is providing accompanying studies of the books of the Bible. ConclusionThe 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. Looking for gifts to encourage and deepen the faith of your family or friends? 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.
