Ignatius Study Bible (Hardcover)

Study the whole of Scripture with Catholic commentary, maps, and extensive explanatory notes.

The Old and New Testaments come together in one volume, featuring the Revised Standard Version Second Catholic Edition (RSV-2CE) translation. Introductions, outlines, and explanatory notes accompany every biblical book, alongside extensive cross-references to the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

This hardcover edition includes more than 17,500 explanatory footnotes, over twenty topical essays, over 140 word studies, more than twenty-five charts, and over fifty maps. The Bible text is set in ten-point type, with eight-point footnotes.

Scott Hahn is the general editor, with Curtis J. Mitch serving as co-editor. The volume brings a broad library of Catholic Bible-study resources together under one cover.
