Hi,

I was actually looking at the above 2 bibles for better understanding of the sacred scriptures but i can’t decide?

I understand didache comes with the CCC as commentaries and ignatius comes with scott hahn and others commentaries.
 
If you can afford to, I would get both. They present two very different perspectives. The ICSB has very good theological notes by Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch. I haven’t had a chance to look at the Didache Bible yet, but if I understand correctly, its notes are more practical/pastoral, and I’ve heard a lot of good things about it.
Plus the Didache Bible has the advantage of including the Old Testament, while Ignatius Press is delaying the release of the ICSB Old Testament so that they can make more profit on the study guides for individual Old Testament books.
 
I have both and would agree with Mark’s description. I would add that the Ignatius Study Bible is a bit more extensive in the notation department. I would estimate that on average, in the Ignatius Study Bible, the notes take up 50-70% of each page (with the biblical text taking up the remainder) while it is probably 30-50% in the Didache Bible.
