@@frisco61 I have my standard reply for any separated brethren who complain that I have a statue of Our Lady in my home. “So” I say “You would never have a statue of Our Lady or a Saint in your home?” “Certainly not” they reply. “Well” I say “I saw a statue of Our Lady and St. Joseph in your Christmas crib.” “But” they reply “I don’t worship those statues.” To which I reply “I am so pleased to hear that - neither do I, so we are in complete agreement - we both believe in having statues and we both believe that it would be wrong to worship them.”
Gosh i didn't realize how liberal the prologues of the NABRE. Just read some of the arguments from tektonic its quite comprehensive. Can't wait for the ignatius full study Bible to arrive
I am SO PUMPED for this! We've been waiting so long, I thought it might never come! My go-to study Bible in the meantime has been the very good Didache Bible, which is filled with footnotes that draw from JPII's Catechism. You just have to make sure you get the the green "Ignatius" (RSV-2CE) version and not the red NABRE version--green means go and red means no!
I had the same experience as a Catholic convert. I've been reading from the individual booklets published by Ignatius and I am very supportive of the project. Hoping to have a complete set sometime soon. 😁
You’ve made my day! Thank you for this video! I am thrilled that the long-awaited release of the Ignatius Study Bible is finally on the horizon. May God bless you.🌸🕊️
Thank you, Doug. The NABRE was my first bible I read after becoming Catholic. I was thinking quite a few of the footnotes seemed wonky. I had no idea of their source.
I have the New Testament and love it. The only thing I am waiting for is for a separate Old Testament version. I just do not want smaller fonts and thin paper.
Sadly, Ignatius has specifically said in their promotional materials that there will NOT be a separate Old Testament published. I agree with you. I wanted the same
Well, we who have already purchased the New Testament can withhold our money until they "read the room" and provide us with what the buyer wants. That is my solution.
I'm a Lutheran and I am excited that the full Ignatius Catholic Study Bible is being released. I consult the New Testament version of the Study Bible all the time.
Thank you for your online ministry, Douglas! You cannot imagine how valuable this review was. I am sending this review to all my Catholic friends. The Commonwealth (ex-UK) countries use the Jerusalem bible as Lectionary, and most use RSVCE, and thus I never bought the NAB(RE). I never knew - till your review - how liberal and protestant the NABRE was, and thus the study bible follows! Question is - how did it ever get the bishops' imprimatur? It can only mean one thing - the majority of US bishops themselves are liberal proto-protestant. And that would explain today's scandals - the James Martins of the world multiplying like locusts, the McCarrick appointees now running seminaries, the paedophile crisis (a couple of movies on these, had my protestant friends sending me links obviously hinting how I can still be Catholic in such an evil church? So the bishops, the bible translation, the teachings, all permeated with liberalism. As you would know, Scott Hahn et al stuck with RSV because it was the easier to read than, say, Douay Rheims. But the new RSV revised edition has introduced "gender inclusive" language and heaven knows what other "politcally correct" but biblically inaccurate words. As laity, we don't have time to pore through with a magnifying glass. We need a Go To that we can trust.
Just worth noting that while the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) is gender-inclusive, the Revised Standard Version 2nd Catholic Edition (RSV-2CE), which is what the Ignatius Study Bible uses as its translation, is not.
No translation is perfect and for real study you should have more than one trustworthy translation (unless you know Greek and Hebrew I guess). But even if the translation was only meh, the notes are worth the whole thing! (On the DR specifically, see www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/uncomfortable-facts-about-the-douay-rheims.)
I am also a Catholic convert (born, baptized and raised United Methodist... pre-split). I typically use NRSV-CE; New Revised Standard Version-Catholic Edition. Perhaps i should invest in this new Ignatius Catholic Study Bible. I love Dr. Scott Hahn! His conversion story, as well as his publications helped in my conversion process!
Thanks for letting us know. Like others, I also had been looking forward to the day when the completed version would be available. Just preordered my copy!
We have a Catholic Jerusalem Bible and a New American Bible for Catholics with Revised New Testament, Official Catholic Study Bible. Mr Whoo will not permit me to write in them... I very recently obtained The Inspired Catholic Bible for Journaling and Notes and a new set of colored pencils!

Thank you, I'm so glad you popped up on my YT radar!!!
@@DouglasBeaumont I'm not young like I used to be. These 35 year old eyes need larger font than they used to and the thin paper where you can see through to the next page only make reading all the more difficult.
Some years ago i had made an enquiry about this very matter and was told they were considering having both a full Bible and also just the OT in 2 or 3 volumes with the thick paper and large font as with the NT. Seems they dropped that idea unfortunately. I like that the NT has thick paper on which one can easily use highlighter without it bleeding through.
This sounds like a good addition to Bible study. Seeing and assessing the differing views of theologians and biblical scholars reminds us that the Magisterium of the Church, as enunciated by the Pope as well as by the Bishops in Council with the Pontiff, provides the definitive guidepost regarding what the Church teaches.
The Knox translation, with its full set of translator’s notes, fills three volumes. You can’t really fit a whole study bible in one volume, unless the paper is impossibly thin and the font size unrealistically small.
@@jacobheatherington I don’t really want a “commentary”. All that I really want is a complete set of translator’s notes, explaining why a passage has been translated in the way it has, what the direct, literal, translation might be (even if it appears to make no immediate sense) and why the interpretation which has been applied has been applied. Also, a reference to the most recent scholarship and how the majority of scholars translate a particular passage. In this respect, the three volume set of Monsignor Knox’s translation is excellent. He does, occasionally, offer a comment, for example, in the case of the dishonest steward, where the master “commends the steward for his astuteness” he adds, in his footnote, “but not for his dishonesty!”. The choice of translation is often just a matter of personal opinion, since any good translation has a complete set of translator’s notes, so that the reader is not led astray by the particular translation, or, sometimes, interpretation which the translator has used.
My wife and kids are super-excited about this. We have 3 copies of the Ignatius Study Bible New Testament. It's the best Catholic Study Bible available today. (Yes, I have serious problems with the one-sided perspective in the NABRE and NJB footnotes as well.)
At last! I hope they keep their promises this time! The Ignatius New Testament study Bible is unparalleled - truly outstanding, and I have the Old Testament "booklets", but I can't wait to have everything in one volume. Alleluia and thanks for the news! I agree with you about the notes in many Catholic bibles, especially the Nabre and the Catholic study bibles.

For you who are reading this. : There is a "new" movement to teach Catholics that not just the Book of Daniel but ALL NT Scripture is not to be trusted as actually having taken place. I do not say this because i feel it or my opinion. I'm going to University to study Theology and i can't give you all the details becaue it will cause more harm to the Body of Christ than good. . But what i tell you is true and a cause for concern. If you ever wonder why newly ordained dacons and priests tend to lack so much in theologicaly or even faith it is because of the lies and twisted teachings they are receiving in seminary and class settings. Fortunately, for me, i studied and researched years before attending an actual structured school. P.s. Everything i learn is Catholic Church based, in the Catechism or approved by the Church. Beware of "Catholic edition"bibles , fiction and non- fiction , and, yes, This includes Loyola press books. Cross reference EVERYTHING with the Scriptures, KNOW that it IS truly the inspired Word of God and use your Catechism of the Catholic Church. May God bless you and yours always 🙏.
Yes! There is a short list of Catholic publishers than be totally trusted. Ignatius Press of course, Ascension, Ave Maria Press, Sophia Press, and a few others. After many years of studying I know to dismiss a book immediately if it’s published by Loyola Press, Pauline Press, etc. We have to be careful what we consume.
I’ve seen the Ignatius study Bible, but I feel very comfortable with the Haydock Douai Rheims for an English Bible or the French Crampon Bible. There’s been too much playing around with the Bible, especially watering down the doctrine which I find, but both of these Bibles are excellent. My friend has the Ignatius Bible, and she seems to like it. Thank you and God bless.
I wonder how much it will cost in the UK. I have an RSVCE, JB and now a Fr Nick King SJ Bible which is all translated from the Greek (Septuagint and Greek NT)
As a non-Catholic, I am really looking forward to this. I am usually very dismayed by most Catholic study bible notes. I have learned a lot from Dr. Hahn.
Thank you for that last comment about Traditional Catholic teachings versus what happened 60 years ago. A lot of Catholics strangely believe that Catholicism started in the 1960s. Ave Maria!
In high school in the 90s the bishop gave me an NABRE for confirmation. I read it cover to cover and was prepared to fend the greatest attacks I faced in the 90s in college, Protestants so think Catholics are somehow not Christian. My brothers didn't have the same founding and are now Protestants. I'm glad they came to start reading the Bible but sad it only happened after becoming Protestant, as the Bible is our liturgical book. I wish somebody would put more conservative study notes on the NABRE because I like my home prayer to reflect the Bible read in mass. THE benefit of the more liberal notes in the current NABRE is that they helped me dismiss Sola Scriptura.
I'm not big on notes, but I did notice when looking into the meaning of the "brothers of the Lord" and the NAB notes said they were Mary's sons I thought that didn't sound very Catholic.
Read Tobit! In it, se we see the contemporary use of "brother" and "sister" in Israel. A man's wife was his "sister" as she came form the same tribe of the 12 tribes. As well, brother and sister were those from your geographic area - exactly as it is in many areas of the world to this day. Gabriel told Mary that she would bear "a son." As well, Zechariah (12:10) states that there will be mourning as for a first born, and an only child.
Good show! I can't wait to get it. I already have Hahn's aggregated New Testament and a dozen of his individual Ignatius series Old Testament books. As well as the old Collegeville series and Opus Dei's Navarre series. I was wondering whether Hahn would keep his promise of finishing the Old Testament. (Maybe Curtis Mitch started bugging him.) Anyhow, it's good to have more than one series because questions arise in one series that aren't adequately covered but will be by another.
The NAB notes was exactly what I was taught at FUS for my BA in Theology (August 2001). I had to relearn real Catholic Theology later. I do not recommend the NAB for anything.
Thanks for the head's up. I've been reading the NABRE (Catholic Answer Bible-Librosario format) from Genesis and I'm now at 1Kings 12. So far, nothing very controversial jumped out of the study notes that I was careful to read. However, so-called "different sources" of the biblical text (J, P, Y, E, etc.) were mentioned and I did wonder who decided that this notion of sources was acceptable. I'm relieved I have the Ignatius NT and I'd be happy to have the Ignatius complete study Bible when it arrived.
As a protestant, I was initially skeptical of Ignatius study bible as I was constantly getting disappointed by other "catholic" study bibles and commentaries. Even as a protestant I find it very uncomfortable to read the liberal commentary. I am quite surprised how catholic community could tolerate such nonsence in their bibles and translations. But I fell in love after getting a a copy of Ignatius Study bible, new testament. I am looking forward to have the complete study Bible now. I dunno what the price is. Waiting for it to come to India one day.
I look forward to purchasing this new Bible. I agree with you regarding that Catholic Study Bible. It is frustrating to have to turn to the ESV Study Bible for good commentary and notations.
Doug I'm super excited to hear about a single volume Ignatius Catholic Study Bible. I've almost got a complete set of the individual paperback volumes and will finish getting all of them. Can you recommend a book on the teachings and history of the 19th century liberal German scholarship.? I'm Conservative but am interested in their history. Thank you
The notes in the Catholic Study Bible are truly dreadful. Thankfully I only got it as an ebook. Looking forward to the release of the Ignatius Study Bible!
Have you had a chance to check out the Didache Bible? It's not on the same level as the Ignatius Study Bible in terms of notes but I've found it helpful given its context of using the CCC to see how the Church uses a certain Scripture passage. There is another "Study Bible" that's available in here India (and I guess other countries in Asia). It's called the Christian Community edition. It was the one I read before the NABRE. That Bible goes way beyond the NABRE in terms of it's rationalistic lens. It not only suggests that the authors of various books are probably incorrect but goes on to suggest that people like Abraham and the 12 tribes didn't actually exist. I tell people to stay away from this book. I hope they release the full Ignatius Bible in India. They've got permissions to print the NT locally here which helps bring down the cost.
My Brother Douglas thanks for the video, you had me for most of it until the mention of the Ignatius Study Bible. I was unaware that some were strickly OT or NT, but the one I recently got is both OT and NT. I probably missed something but what would be the difference between the one I have (its red) than the new issue thats being released?
@DouglasBeaumont Oh! I completly understand now. I expected there to be commentary within my purchase and was shocked when there wasn't. Ok I see how this new drop will be a game changer thank you so much
I already havem them in their individual formats, so unless the commentary on the complete one is significally expanded or revised, I dont see the need to give up on the better paper of the individual format.
As orthodox I can't wait to get this book I like learning about my Roman Catholic brothers and they are very interesting in interpretation even if I have studied mostly everything I'm not gonna say I know everything that's impossible❤😊
Whether u receive Jesus in ur hand and then put Him on ur tongue, or have the Priest place Him directly on ur tongue, Jesus still lands on ur tongue, which is the most evil organ in the body.
@@johnjones393 read verse 6. “Can defile…” doesn’t mean, “does defile…” The same tongue that can defile is the same body part that can also confess Lord is God and praise His holy name. While the tongue can be used for evil this is all in context of the anon who is arguing receiving the Eucharist is evil bc IT is placed on the tongue.
The number one thing which draws us closer together, is when we ask of God, trusting in Him, rather than our own traditions which separate us from everyone else.
The lack of a good quality Catholic study Bible with notes that align with the official position of the Church is frankly embarrassing considering all the study Bibles that Protestants have been able to produce
I just placed my order today. Ignatius Press (as of today) has a 10% discount pre order, which basically pays for media mail shipping. I am really looking forward to this Bible. I ordered the leather version. In the meantime, I purchased a St. Benedicts Press RSVCE Bible with red lettering (what are your thoughts on this Bible?). I had one several years ago and it's a basic Bible, but I needed something now. Thanks for this video. I have never heard anything good about the NABRE Bibles.
When I was discerning between Orthodox and Catholicism (decided on the latter) I was gifted a beautiful Orthodox study Bible which is the NKJV. I really like it and it is now as familiar to me as my old slippers! Do I need to change do you think, as the Orthodox Church approves this version and the study notes reflect the beliefs of the First Millennium, when we were one Church.
except for the authority of Rome and the filioque - they were recognized during the first millennium, and proclaimed (both) by the second C ouncil of Nicea (or the second of Contantinople?)
Same here, NAB was the first Bible I purchased as a revert to Catholicism. However , after praying over my Bible Studies and gaining more knowledge and reading Douay Rheims I saw too many controversial notes. St Jose patrón de la Iglesia Universal , protege nuestra Iglesia que es Santa, Catolica y Apostólica!
The Catholic Study Bible published by Oxford is not good at all. I would not pitch the NEW AMERICAN BIBLE, which is used at Mass. Dr. Hahn's contribution to the church is wonderful, and he uses the RSV-CE instead of the NAB. I like them both.
Thank you for this, I knew there was a reason I did not like this version. Previous SDA I have always adored the KJV, having grown up on King Jimmy's. Even though I really enjoy my Ignatius Bile updated standard version, I've always wanted a Duwey Rhimes bible since it sounds more like the KJV. However, after seeing this video, I'm going to get this as soon as I can. I hope the NABRE is eliminated by the church. Why are we accepting any lessons from protestants? I have never witnessed a protestant church ask a Catholic church to give them any of our books or to teach them anything. Since we are the Only True Church, we ought to act like it.
💯 I have the Douay-Rheims, which is a great Bible. If you like the KJV, this is the Bible for you, and it came before the KJV, which is another plus. I bought mine from Amazon, which has a sale on it right now: 40% off. It's only 30 dollars atm ( Douay-Rheims Bible (Burgundy Premium UltraSoft): Standard Print Size Imitation Leather) is the one I bought. It's really nice. Words of Christ in red! Gold edges and ribbon. Talyor Marshall suggested this Bible on his podcast, which is why I got it.
I just ordered all of B Baron's "Word On Fire" bibles and the Ignatius NT bible! Thankfully, I"ve already donated the other dodgy versions! (I'll stick to NKJV otherwise)
Solid choices but of course no translation is perfect and for real study you should have more than one trustworthy translation (unless you know Greek and Hebrew I guess). But even if the translation was only meh, the notes are worth the whole thing! (On the DR specifically, see www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/uncomfortable-facts-about-the-douay-rheims.)
Thank You Douglas .... --- As a follower of Scott Hahn and his works, i did purchase The Ignatius Catholic Study Bible ... --- I do not like the NAB Study Bible, as you would know, this is The Bible the Church uses ... --- My Favorite, All Time Study Bible, and I have many of them, is one that was referred to me by a Convert from the Baptist to the Catholic Church ... It is The Didache' .... An "RSV" Study Bible .... nearly 2000 pages but has all ...
Just two examples of the horrid NAB notes: We have no idea who actually wrote Matthew. We call it that for sake of convenience. Luke apparently copied and pasted Mary's Magnificat into his Gospel, as "we" see no precedent for it. AYKM??? Compare and contrast the notes and intros of the 1941 Confraternity with those of the NAB or /RE. World of difference. Confraternity is 100% Catholic, edifying and confidence-inspiring. The NAB is in a parallel universe. 1970 was a really bad year for Catholic bibles, as the NAB and its ilk nicely coincide with the general malaise in the Church. I have NAB and /RE. They hold up my real bibles.
I need something that isn't a bunch of liberal garbage man. So far the RSV2CE Ignatius Study Bible New Testamemt has been a lifesaver, especially as a new Catholic. I will definitely grab this. I have been looking forward to the full version for a while now.
As a Protestant who has been blessed by Catholic community around me, I have been praying for this to be published. I would love to understand my brothers and sisters in Christ with Roman Catholic perspective.

Maybe that's one of the reason why most Catholics are liberals and it trickles down to the bishops , priests and laity.
It all began with Jerome.
I wish the Bishops would denounce the liberal translations and commentaries
Agreed.
We have a laundry list for them...
@@HAL9000-su1mzBravo agreed 💯

Just placed my pre-order!! Thanks so much for the video announcement! Now I need the Bergsma & Pitre Catholic Intro New Testament!!
As a non-Catholic, I am really looking forward to this. I am usually very dismayed by most Catholic study bible notes. I have learned a lot from Dr. Hahn.
Very good!
We use the Duey Rheams Bible now
Thank you for that last comment about Traditional Catholic teachings versus what happened 60 years ago. A lot of Catholics strangely believe that Catholicism started in the 1960s.
Ave Maria!
Thank You Douglas! That's great news indeed!
In high school in the 90s the bishop gave me an NABRE for confirmation. I read it cover to cover and was prepared to fend the greatest attacks I faced in the 90s in college, Protestants so think Catholics are somehow not Christian. My brothers didn't have the same founding and are now Protestants. I'm glad they came to start reading the Bible but sad it only happened after becoming Protestant, as the Bible is our liturgical book. I wish somebody would put more conservative study notes on the NABRE because I like my home prayer to reflect the Bible read in mass. THE benefit of the more liberal notes in the current NABRE is that they helped me dismiss Sola Scriptura.
I'm not big on notes, but I did notice when looking into the meaning of the "brothers of the Lord" and the NAB notes said they were Mary's sons I thought that didn't sound very Catholic.
I'd have to see what else it said - the word has a wider meaning in Greek than English. What verse was it?
@@DouglasBeaumont Galatians 1:19, the note there refers to Mark 6:3 which actually provides more clarity.
Read Tobit! In it, se we see the contemporary use of "brother" and "sister" in Israel. A man's wife was his "sister" as she came form the same tribe of the 12 tribes. As well, brother and sister were those from your geographic area - exactly as it is in many areas of the world to this day. Gabriel told Mary that she would bear "a son." As well, Zechariah (12:10) states that there will be mourning as for a first born, and an only child.
@@HAL9000-su1mz That's funny. I'm reading Tobit.
Very well said. I am pumped to get this study Bible
Thank you my friend!
Good show! I can't wait to get it. I already have Hahn's aggregated New Testament and a dozen of his individual Ignatius series Old Testament books. As well as the old Collegeville series and Opus Dei's Navarre series. I was wondering whether Hahn would keep his promise of finishing the Old Testament. (Maybe Curtis Mitch started bugging him.) Anyhow, it's good to have more than one series because questions arise in one series that aren't adequately covered but will be by another.
Exactly!
There will need to be a large print version regardless of size
Thank you, Doug! I’ve been waiting for this Bible for years. Nice job describing the NABRE. I have one just for reference. 😄
Thank you Professor. Gotta share this!
I love being catholic but we have the worst bibles, there’s like 3 good ones
I went to pre-order it, but unfortunately they want nearly $100 to ship it to the UK. I'll have to wait until it's on Amazon...
The NAB notes was exactly what I was taught at FUS for my BA in Theology (August 2001). I had to relearn real Catholic Theology later. I do not recommend the NAB for anything.
Thanks for the head's up. I've been reading the NABRE (Catholic Answer Bible-Librosario format) from Genesis and I'm now at 1Kings 12. So far, nothing very controversial jumped out of the study notes that I was careful to read. However, so-called "different sources" of the biblical text (J, P, Y, E, etc.) were mentioned and I did wonder who decided that this notion of sources was acceptable. I'm relieved I have the Ignatius NT and I'd be happy to have the Ignatius complete study Bible when it arrived.
That is great news. Thank you
*Dios lo bendiga Hermano Douglas*
Just ordered mine today. Super excited for it.
Can't wait to pray on that! Another great pickl are Fr Dolindo's commentaries.
Yay!!! I've been waiting for this.
Trent did a video on the neighbor. Notes not approved by the Pope.
As a protestant, I was initially skeptical of Ignatius study bible as I was constantly getting disappointed by other "catholic" study bibles and commentaries. Even as a protestant I find it very uncomfortable to read the liberal commentary. I am quite surprised how catholic community could tolerate such nonsence in their bibles and translations.
But I fell in love after getting a a copy of Ignatius Study bible, new testament.
I am looking forward to have the complete study Bible now. I dunno what the price is. Waiting for it to come to India one day.
I know I sound crazy but I love the think paper and the letter font size I wish they have options
That would be nice but it would cost so much and be so large I doubt they'd avoid losing money.
You aren't crazy! I wished the same thing. I wanted to be able to highlight in it as I did with the NT.
I’ve found the Ignatius Study Bible and the Navarre Study Bible both awesome sources.
I look forward to purchasing this new Bible. I agree with you regarding that Catholic Study Bible. It is frustrating to have to turn to the ESV Study Bible for good commentary and notations.
Doug
I'm super excited to hear about a single volume Ignatius Catholic Study Bible. I've almost got a complete set of the individual paperback volumes and will finish getting all of them.
Can you recommend a book on the teachings and history of the 19th century liberal German scholarship.?
I'm Conservative but am interested in their history. Thank you
Very important! Thanks!
I have lots of bibles but I refuse to get the NABRE. It's terrible.
Wow!!! Finally! 🙌🙌🙏
The Didache Bible: With Commentaries Based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church is by far one of the best study bibles for Catholics
I'll stand by my Douay Rheims with Haydock notes. Most expensive Bible I've ever bought, but worth it. (besides, it was a Christmas present)
The notes in the Catholic Study Bible are truly dreadful. Thankfully I only got it as an ebook. Looking forward to the release of the Ignatius Study Bible!
Have you had a chance to check out the Didache Bible? It's not on the same level as the Ignatius Study Bible in terms of notes but I've found it helpful given its context of using the CCC to see how the Church uses a certain Scripture passage.
There is another "Study Bible" that's available in here India (and I guess other countries in Asia). It's called the Christian Community edition. It was the one I read before the NABRE. That Bible goes way beyond the NABRE in terms of it's rationalistic lens. It not only suggests that the authors of various books are probably incorrect but goes on to suggest that people like Abraham and the 12 tribes didn't actually exist. I tell people to stay away from this book.
I hope they release the full Ignatius Bible in India. They've got permissions to print the NT locally here which helps bring down the cost.
Yes, its CCC reference notes are great! I have not seen the Community one - thanks!

My Brother Douglas thanks for the video, you had me for most of it until the mention of the Ignatius Study Bible.
I was unaware that some were strickly OT or NT, but the one I recently got is both OT and NT. I probably missed something but what would be the difference between the one I have (its red) than the new issue thats being released?
That is the RSV Bible published by Ignatius Press. The Study Bible has commentary notes included.
@DouglasBeaumont Oh! I completly understand now. I expected there to be commentary within my purchase and was shocked when there wasn't. Ok I see how this new drop will be a game changer thank you so much
I already havem them in their individual formats, so unless the commentary on the complete one is significally expanded or revised, I dont see the need to give up on the better paper of the individual format.
As orthodox I can't wait to get this book I like learning about my Roman Catholic brothers and they are very interesting in interpretation even if I have studied mostly everything I'm not gonna say I know everything that's impossible❤😊
Great video, I'll be getting the Ignatius study Bible.
As a Catholic I thank God my parents were vigilant. I still pray the way we were taught , only receive the host on the tounge after confession.
Whether u receive Jesus in ur hand and then put Him on ur tongue, or have the Priest place Him directly on ur tongue, Jesus still lands on ur tongue, which is the most evil organ in the body.
@@Anon.5216 troll
@@Anon.5216isn’t your tongue what you use to praise God? Hmmm, ironic.
@@in_defense_of_the_churchRead James 3:5-8. It's just of many passages that describe how wicked the tongue is.
@@johnjones393 read verse 6. “Can defile…” doesn’t mean, “does defile…”
The same tongue that can defile is the same body part that can also confess Lord is God and praise His holy name. While the tongue can be used for evil this is all in context of the anon who is arguing receiving the Eucharist is evil bc IT is placed on the tongue.
The number one thing which draws us closer together, is when we ask of God, trusting in Him, rather than our own traditions which separate us from everyone else.
At last! Thanks for a convincing review...Praise the Lord! ! I'll get it!!!
190 dollars delivery.... gosh cant do it. Will wait for amazon. 😢
Ouch! Yeah maybe wait for bulk prices and better shipping!
I'm actually hoping for a heavy duty old testament in the same style of the new testament to complement the beauty I have on my shelf here
Maraming salamat po! Once available here in the Philippines 🇵🇭, will definitely buy!
I've been waiting for this for a few years now.
The lack of a good quality Catholic study Bible with notes that align with the official position of the Church is frankly embarrassing considering all the study Bibles that Protestants have been able to produce
I like the NABRE but found I prefer the RSV 2CE and the ESV CE
Just bought it.
Thank you, God Bless.
Hope you enjoy it!
I just placed my order today. Ignatius Press (as of today) has a 10% discount pre order, which basically pays for media mail shipping. I am really looking forward to this Bible. I ordered the leather version. In the meantime, I purchased a St. Benedicts Press RSVCE Bible with red lettering (what are your thoughts on this Bible?). I had one several years ago and it's a basic Bible, but I needed something now. Thanks for this video. I have never heard anything good about the NABRE Bibles.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
This is great news, except that Ignatius Press seems to have no plans to publish a ebook version which I desperately need in old age.
If they did, they probably would not advertise it quite yet. Maybe make a request?
Feel free to send me your old ignatius bibles. I have an ascension one currently
Oh my, I knew the notes weren’t the best, but I had no idea how bad they were. Sigh.
When I was discerning between Orthodox and Catholicism (decided on the latter) I was gifted a beautiful Orthodox study Bible which is the NKJV. I really like it and it is now as familiar to me as my old slippers! Do I need to change do you think, as the Orthodox Church approves this version and the study notes reflect the beliefs of the First Millennium, when we were one Church.
except for the authority of Rome and the filioque - they were recognized during the first millennium, and proclaimed (both) by the second C ouncil of Nicea (or the second of Contantinople?)
I have one too and I love it - no Bible is perfect, it's best to simply acknowledge what you have and beware each one's pitfalls. :)
@@DouglasBeaumont Thanks
Same here, NAB was the first Bible I purchased as a revert to Catholicism. However , after praying over my Bible Studies and gaining more knowledge and reading Douay Rheims I saw too many controversial notes.
St Jose patrón de la Iglesia Universal , protege nuestra Iglesia que es Santa, Catolica y Apostólica!
Umm… don’t toss your bible, at least give it to someone…
Just clickbait my friend. :)
Why give it to someone when you know there are potential errors in the notes???
The Catholic Study Bible published by Oxford is not good at all. I would not pitch the NEW AMERICAN BIBLE, which is used at Mass. Dr. Hahn's contribution to the church is wonderful, and he uses the RSV-CE instead of the NAB. I like them both.
Thank you for this, I knew there was a reason I did not like this version. Previous SDA I have always adored the KJV, having grown up on King Jimmy's. Even though I really enjoy my Ignatius Bile updated standard version, I've always wanted a Duwey Rhimes bible since it sounds more like the KJV. However, after seeing this video, I'm going to get this as soon as I can. I hope the NABRE is eliminated by the church. Why are we accepting any lessons from protestants? I have never witnessed a protestant church ask a Catholic church to give them any of our books or to teach them anything. Since we are the Only True Church, we ought to act like it.
💯 I have the Douay-Rheims, which is a great Bible. If you like the KJV, this is the Bible for you, and it came before the KJV, which is another plus. I bought mine from Amazon, which has a sale on it right now: 40% off. It's only 30 dollars atm ( Douay-Rheims Bible (Burgundy Premium UltraSoft): Standard Print Size Imitation Leather) is the one I bought. It's really nice. Words of Christ in red! Gold edges and ribbon. Talyor Marshall suggested this Bible on his podcast, which is why I got it.
Chapter and verse to back up the claim of the "only true church?"
I just ordered all of B Baron's "Word On Fire" bibles and the Ignatius NT bible! Thankfully, I"ve already donated the other dodgy versions! (I'll stick to NKJV otherwise)
Duoay Rheims is the best in English, Challoner is the easiest to read. If you can afford it, get the DR with notes by Cornelius a Lapide.
Solid choices but of course no translation is perfect and for real study you should have more than one trustworthy translation (unless you know Greek and Hebrew I guess). But even if the translation was only meh, the notes are worth the whole thing! (On the DR specifically, see www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/uncomfortable-facts-about-the-douay-rheims.)
Which DR has notes by Lapide?
Wonderful news. Thank you.
Thanks for your advice. The Modernists continue to chip away at the faith, but their era will fade away like the Arians.
Thanks
Hardcover or leather?
I live outside USA and the shipping costs more than the actual Bible 😭😭😭
I hope this reaches my country the Philippines
I loved that intro jingle about the NABRE haha
Finally someone recognizes my artistic genius lol!
Thank You Douglas ....
--- As a follower of Scott Hahn and his works, i did purchase The Ignatius Catholic Study Bible ...
--- I do not like the NAB Study Bible, as you would know, this is The Bible the Church uses ...
--- My Favorite, All Time Study Bible, and I have many of them, is one that was referred to me by a Convert from the Baptist to the Catholic Church ...
It is The Didache' .... An "RSV" Study Bible .... nearly 2000 pages but has all ...
Also a solid choice!
There are a few options other than the oxford one, but it is severely limited compared to protestant bibles.
Just two examples of the horrid NAB notes: We have no idea who actually wrote Matthew. We call it that for sake of convenience. Luke apparently copied and pasted Mary's Magnificat into his Gospel, as "we" see no precedent for it. AYKM???
Compare and contrast the notes and intros of the 1941 Confraternity with those of the NAB or /RE. World of difference. Confraternity is 100% Catholic, edifying and confidence-inspiring. The NAB is in a parallel universe. 1970 was a really bad year for Catholic bibles, as the NAB and its ilk nicely coincide with the general malaise in the Church. I have NAB and /RE. They hold up my real bibles.
Curious Protestant here, how is the Didache Bible seen and received by Catholics?
I need something that isn't a bunch of liberal garbage man. So far the RSV2CE Ignatius Study Bible New Testamemt has been a lifesaver, especially as a new Catholic. I will definitely grab this. I have been looking forward to the full version for a while now.
I hear you!
So this is why the notes have been so off-putting
Question, what do you think about The Didache Catholic study Bible, or the little rock Catholic study Bible?
I like the Didache because it acts as a Scripture index for the Catechism. I am not familiar with the other resource though.
@@DouglasBeaumont thanks
