The Jerome Biblical Commentary for the Twenty-First Century: Third Fully Revised Edition is coming out in January! The 1st edition was in Logos many years ago, then stopped; the 2nd revision was never in Logos despite strong interest. Maybe we can get the 3rd edition in Verbum? 

The first two editions (published in 1968 and 1990 respectively) were edited by Fr. Raymond Brown S.S., Fr. Joseph Fitzmyer S.J., and Fr. Roland Murphy O.Carm. All of these editors were among the most well-known Catholic biblical scholars of the late 20th century. The upcoming third edition features a brand new list of editors: John J. Collins, Gina Hens-Piazza, Sr. Barbara Reid O.P., and Fr. Donald Senior C.P. (I have read a number of the works of Sr. Barbara Reid and  Fr. Donald Senior, they are excellent!)

Pope Francis has also written a foreword for the new edition!

Per the publisher Bloomsbury Publishing - "the entire content of the commentary has been revised to bring it up-to-date with the very latest scholarship, featuring the leading international Catholic scholars of our day."
