Logos/Verbum has the Ignatius Study Bible New Testament, but a revised/completed study bible with Old and New Testaments has been out for awhile. When can we get this?
Why is this important especially for Catholics?
The distinctive value of the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible lies not in offering novel information but in the way it presents the Old Testament as Scripture that is actively read, prayed, and taught within the life of the Church. Rather than limiting interpretation to historical-critical analysis, it consistently explains how Old Testament texts function in the Church’s liturgy, how they were understood by the Fathers, and how they find their fulfillment in Christ and the sacraments.
In doing so, it fills a longstanding gap in Catholic biblical resources by integrating solid scholarship with patristic insight and magisterial theology in a single, coherent framework. This integration is especially evident in its frequent footnotes from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which allows readers to see how Catholic doctrine emerges from Scripture itself. The result is a study Bible that does not merely inform the reader about the Old Testament but forms the reader in a distinctly Catholic way of reading it—one that unites text, tradition, and theology into a continuous whole.
I have the paper version it is awesome!
