I’m seeking a good, Catholic bible companion book. I’m looking for a book (or three) which can be used while I read the bible page-by-page to understand the context of what I just read. I’m also interested in a book which can elaborate on the Church’s interpretation of passages as I read. I’m an educated person, so I’m looking for companion books which gets into as much detail as possible! I have an extremely high level of reading comprehension, no book is too challenging. I’d love advice as I’m not sure where I should begin to look other than the bible and Catechism.

Also, I’m looking for books that take the same stance as the Church… I know there’s plenty of independent authors out there who like to go on personal tangents.
 
It sounds like you’re looking for a good Catholic Commentary and/or Study Bible.

As Paul mentioned, Haydock is a good one of the Douay-Rheims translation from the 19th century (which is thus in the public domain and conveniently available for free over the internet :)).

The Navarre Bible Commentary and the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible are two other good ones. The Ignatius one so far only has the New Testament and some of the Old Testament available. The rest is forthcoming.

These are the three that get recommended in pretty much every thread like this. 🙂
