Catholic Study Bible-NAB

By John J. Collins, Donald Senior, Anonymous

Book Overview

This landmark resource, the first fully-based on the authoritative NABRE translation, contains the trustworthy study notes, expanded essays, and informational sidebars which have guided and informed students and general readers for 25 years. In this new edition, which comes in a protective slipcase, one-third of the Reading Guide materials are new, and all of the other Guides have been reviewed and revised by their original authors.

The extensive Reading Guide, the focal point of this volume, leads the reader through the Scriptures, book by book. References and background information are clearly laid out to guide the reader to a fuller understanding of the Bible. New to this edition is a more extensive treatment of the biblical background, including history and archeology.

Other outstanding features include: a 15-page glossary of special terms and complete Sunday and weekday lectionary readings for the liturgical years of the Church. Thirty-two beautiful pages of full-color Oxford Bible Maps come with a place-name index for easy reference.

Perfect for both higher education and clergy, Bible study and general readers, The Catholic Study Bible is an essential resource for both experienced students and first-time readers.

Customer Reviews

"I once was lost but now am found" is from the hymn "Amazing Grace."

Yes, bible study can be complex. But without it, you are lost. This is one of many views. But it is the view that makes this book valuable. Sometimes you need someone to tell you that your shoe is untied. If you are not a reader, the Catholic Church covers the whole Bible in a two-year cycle, giving you time to think about it. However, to get a better handle on what you are reading in any genre, it is best to find an annotated version or a study guide. The neat thing about this version is that it has tabs for the beginning of each book. It helps me look as if I know what I am doing. There are many helpful sections, and it would take a book just to describe them. A short list is: How to Use This Study Guide The New American Bible The Reading Guides The Reference Articles The Glossary Geography of the Biblical Lands and Maps Teaching Resources You cannot cram everything into the book, so there are extensive bibliographies and quite a few footnotes. I like to read them first and then come back to them to see what I missed. The bottom line is that your theological library and head are incomplete without this book.

Finally found a bible that helps me

I am useing it for Bible Study in my parish. I am buying another for my sister so we can study together.
