Compared to the Ignatius Study Bible or the Navarre Study Bible, I don't view the Catholic Study Bible as quite as good. However, it has been on my wish list for some time. I already have the NABRE in Verbum, so I just need the Catholic Study Bible which has the commentary.
I just noticed that Accordance is running a very good sale on the Catholic Study Bible 3rd Edition. So now I'm wondering if the Verbum offering will shortly be upgraded to the 3rd Edition? It's supposed to be like over 30% new material. This brings up 2 questions:
1) Will Verbum be offering the Catholic Study Bible 3rd Edition anytime soon?
2) If I've already purchased the Catholic Study Bible 2nd Edition before the 3rd Edition is offered do I get the 3rd Edition as a free update from Verbum or do I have to buy the 3rd Edition separately as a new purchase?
