### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best Study Bible I've come across by a large margin
*by G***E on July 28, 2025*

I will qualify my review by stating that I am Catholic-adjacent, and considering entering into the Catholic church soon. I will also add that I am a lifelong student of the Bible. Studying scripture is my single biggest hobby, and I am also a Christian author. Anyways, here's my review.The Ignatius Press Study Bible is unbelievable. I've had mine for 3 weeks, and I'm convinced this is the best study Bible on the market (perhaps only second to the Word on Fire Bible, which isn't really the same). Before I bought it, I borrowed several competing study Bibles from friends and the Library, and there's really no comparison – the Ignatius Press Study Bible, which took around 25 years to complete from what I've heard, is the only one of its kind.I've read about 5-6 of the included essays, and they were all brilliantly written, and I learned quite a bit from them. The commentary strikes a good balance between modern scholarship and traditional beliefs. It doesn't shy away from the tough questions (i.e. the divine council in the OT, the glorification of killing in Joshua, the multiple authors of Isaiah, etc.) That said, it mostly leans conservative with its interpretations (e.g., it never hints at parts of Genesis or Joshua as being ahistorical, or anything like that).The style of interpretation didn't feel surface level at all. Unlike many of the competing study Bibles I read, the Ignatius Press Study Bible has already taught me a ton. It has notes on the cultural contexts, the Hebrew and Greek wording, quotes from the Church Fathers, etc. In fact, some of the pages had so much commentary that there were more footnotes than actual Scripture (the first page of Genesis only gets through three verses because the commentary is so stacked!) It has the typical notes you'd expect (e.g., explaining difficult passages), but also, typological and anagogical interpretations that I'd never have come to on my own. That said, I still find myself googling often. There aren't a ton of notes on the poetic and chaistic structure of the text. There also aren't Strongs numbers for looking up Hebrew and Greek words. The style of commentary is definitely a better fit for a Catholic than for a Messianic Jew or someone who really skews towards the Jewish roots of the faith. In fact, this study Bible is unapologetically Catholic. But that is its greatest strength.This Bible is a behemoth. It's almost as wide as a tin can. I can't imagine getting the floppy leather version – hard back is the only way to go. In fact, while looking into which version to get, I learned that many people returned their floppy leather versions to get the hardback version. So maybe do yourself the favor and do that ahead of time.One strange omission is that there are no bookmark ribbons. Also, there are no tabs on the side to easily find the book you're looking for. That's not a big deal, but I wanted to mention it. As far as the RSV-2 translation goes, I find it to be very readable except for the way it translates the names of people and places. There's often weird apostrophes (e.g., Abraham's brother is Na'hor instead of Nahor.) Otherwise, I find it to be just as readable as ESV, NASB, and other mainline translations.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Great Family Heirloom
*by M***R on August 30, 2025*

The best Catholic study bible out there. Notes are impressive and in-depth, with lots of cross-referencing, quotations of exegesis from the early Church fathers, references to the Catechism, and the ecumenical councils over the past 2000 years. All 73 books have well-written and researched introductions informing the reader about the history and message behind each book of sacred scripture, even comparing modern critical theory against historical beliefs about the books and how they came to be in our Bible.The hardcover is well-made and can handle a lot of abuse. I hear mixed opinions on the more expensive leather bound.This will be a family heirloom and has many years worth of material to study and pray on.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Gold Standard of Study Bibles
*by Y***F on January 23, 2025*

The Ignatius Catholic Study Bible: Old and New Testaments is truly the gold standard of study Bibles. It stands out not only for its comprehensive approach to Scripture but also for the depth of commentary and scholarly insight it provides.The study notes, compiled by Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch, are a masterclass in theology and exegesis, seamlessly blending historical context, Church teachings, and practical application. The annotations are rooted in Catholic tradition, making them invaluable for deepening one’s understanding of Scripture in line with Church teaching. Yet, they remain accessible for those new to Bible study.What sets this Bible apart is its meticulous attention to detail. The commentary addresses key doctrinal points, clarifies challenging passages, and highlights connections between the Old and New Testaments that illuminate the unity of God’s plan of salvation. The inclusion of references to the Catechism of the Catholic Church is particularly helpful, offering readers a fuller picture of how Scripture informs the Catholic faith.The layout is another highlight. The text is easy to read, with clear division between Scripture and commentary. The maps, essays, and introductory materials for each book are thoughtfully designed and incredibly informative. It feels like having a seminary-level course in your hands.Whether you’re a lifelong Catholic, a curious Christian, or someone exploring faith, this Bible will be a source of inspiration and understanding. It’s not just a Bible; it’s a study tool, a spiritual guide, and a connection to the richness of Catholic tradition.If you’re looking for a study Bible that combines rigorous scholarship, faithful adherence to Catholic teaching, and practical insights, the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible is unparalleled. It’s an investment in your spiritual journey and an absolute treasure for any Christian library.
