Are the Haydock DR Bible notes online? I’ve read many positive posts about this Bible and wanted to view it before ordering it.

Thank you so much for the link. I noticed that the words of Jesus are in red, does that mean the printed Haydock Bible does also?

In the link, are the footnotes really all there is in the Haydock Study Bible?
One review said that the notes in that Bible cover a third to a half of every page, in smaller print. But the online version has very few, short notes. Galatians for example has 14 pretty short notes, including 6 chapter summaries. John chapter one has no notes except a one line chapter summary.
If those really are the Haydock notes I think I’ll pass on paying $129 to get one bought and posted here.
I have a protestant study bible (which cost $27 including airmail postage to the UK) with 500,000 cross references, Greek and Hebrew definitions throughout, thousands of sermon and study outlines, a very full index and concordance, and a heck of a lot more. Trouble is, the theology in the notes is screwy. Is there a Catholic Study Bible similar in scope?

I have spent much time searching forums at different sites researching which Bible to buy. I thought I would tear my hair out it was so frustrating. I finally came to the conclusion that basically the Bible itself isn’t the problem it’s the notes that are. From everything I’ve read the Navarre and the Haydock DR are the best ones out there with the most trustworthy notes. These are Bibles that you would study from but to large to carry around. I use a missal at church so I guess I don’t really need a carry around Bible anyway. If someone else has come up with a different conclusion please let me know. I’m tired of worrying about it. I am still learning about the faith and have had bad teaching in the past and don’t intend to complicate things by reading notes that I have to be concerned about. I want to know that I’m learning sound Catholic teaching.

OK! Somebody educate me because I have never heard of the Haydock DR Bible. I have several Bibles and Catholic as well as Protestant commentaries, but this is new. Is it Catholic? What makes it better than using another Catholic Bible along with scholarly Catholic commentaries?
Thanks for your help!

Here is one site with this Bible. If you do a Google search on Haydock you will find quite a few listings. There is one, and I don’t remember which one, that has a big article on this Bible.

Hi Mike, can you let us know all about your new Bible when it arrives. I think I will be ordering mine next week. I just hope the print is bigger than I see in the other Bibles. It makes me sleepy when I read the smaller print. It’s advertised as large print with smaller print on the notes. I hope that’s a good sign. Let us know.lMarysgirl, this is where I ordered my bible from! I can’t wait for it to get here!

Yes, the notes in the Haydock Bible do cover about a third to a half of every page. The link above appears to be to the Douay-Rheims translation with only the Challoner footnotes (such as would be found in the Baronius Press edition). The Haydock Bible, on the other hand, has many, many more footnotes.
I have a copy of the Haydock Bible, and it is definitely worth the cost. It is by far my favorite Bible.

Buy it used, perhaps.
You could try the Navarre commentary. It is good for devotional reading, and tends to have quotes from the Fathers. I think the NT is out as one book. Otherwise, in the past it has only been available by individual book of the bible, making it impractical, imo. I wouldn’t call it a replacement for the kind with a zillion cross-references and lots of word analysis and picky Greek stuff.

Phew, thanks for letting me know. Maybe the Haydock will get bought at some point when I feel rich. It’ll have to be new - the 2nd hand market in the UK doesn’t seem to hold out much hope. But anything is possible.
Navarre is also tempting.
Memo to self - start praying to find something valuable to sell on Ebay!

I have my copy from the same site. Yes, as has been stated before, the footnotes cover much of each page. Actually, in some books of the New Testament, I would estimate that the notes cover as much as 2/3 or even 3/4 of each page. One thing I would suggest is that since the footnotes are printed in a tiny font, anyone buying a Haydock should invest in one of those magnifying glass bars that fit across the whole page. It make it a whole lot easier to read and concetrate on the text. Note also that this ia a photographic reproduction, so some of the characters in the text aren’t always crisp and clear.
On a personal note, I love the notes in the Haydock. They are pure unadulterated Catholic doctrine (even if a little polemical at times). If you like your Catholicism without any punches being pulled, this is the Bible for you.

I saved up for the Haydock Douay-Rheims Bible last summer; it was worth every penny. It is called such, because of all the commentaries by Father George Leo Haydock. His commentaries are good, especially the references from the writings of the Church Fathers and the Medieval Saints. However, in someplaces his commentaries are out-dated and can be very anti-Jewish and Protestant. He says that Romans 3:26 is speaking of Mosaic Laws, whereas the Council of Trent never stated that. I love this Bible though. For info about Father Haydock, look here: newadvent.org/cathen/07160a.htm

You should find these two sites helpful:
Most of the Haydock Bible Old Testament commentary and the Haydock commentary on the Book of Revelation is available online here. This site contains both the Douay-Rheims Bible text and the Haydock Bible commentary. To use: Choose the desired Bible book and chapter on menu at the left side of the screen. The Bible text appears in the large upper window. Click on a highlighted blue verse number and the Haydock commentary should appear in the smaller lower window.
Much of the Haydock Bible New Testament commentary is available online here. This site contains only the Haydock commentary but has external links to the Douay-Rheims Bible text. To use: Click on the desired underlined chapter numbers. The entire New Testament commentary is expected to available by September 2005.

The reference to the douay rheims with notes is a set of different notes from the Haydock commentary notes or Haydock Bible. the Haydock Bible is the Douay Rheims plus Haydock Commentary. The on Line Haydock commentary can be viewed here: haydock1859.tripod.com
Also for all who may be interested
The following may be helpful for seminary students, religious professor- teachers, any Catholic students taking religious education classes, and also may be of use in helping priests prepare sermons for Gospels readings of the day using Catholic commentaries, and church Fathers quotes, religious Education Directors and CCD Teachers, and of course it may be useful for any Catholic in learning more about their faith, Scripture etc… Please be sure to pass this along.
enclosed is link for a free Catholic Bible and Catechetical study/resource Sofware program which can be downloaded— with lots of Catholic modules for Dictionaries, commentaries, Bibles, and topical see below
A great Catholic software Bible Study Program and best of all its free for download and nothing out there compares to this, its also going to get better.

e-Sword is a fast and effective way to study the Bible.
e-Sword is feature rich and user friendly with more capabilities than you would expect in a free software package. The fact that e-Sword is free is just one of the blessings and does not speak of the quality of the software. I make my living writing software and I believe I have put forth my best effort in this endeavor. The real work, however, was put in by the godly men and women who devoted countless years creating the texts that have been made available for our benefit. (From the e-sword Web site Rick Myers)
The Program has the ability to accept user created modules hence a substantial number of user Catholic modules including the Early Teachings of the Church in the first few centuries (a must read), Haydock Commentary, St Thomas works in the Catena commentary on Gospels by early church fathers, and his Summa Theologica, a number of Catholic Bibles, Catechism, 1909 Catholic encyclopedia another must, a Catholic Doctrinal Concordance, and a number of special tools for studying the Bible With Greek and Latin tools for studying the basic Greek Grammer and Latin language to enhance one’s understanding of definitions etc. This has become a consolidation of free modules for e-Sword base progam, modules scattered across ensips web, and a few other websites on the internet all to make for easier download and finding of Catholic modules and good study tools. Michael Jacques.
Hoping to add some good Catholic commentary and dictionaries which would be great editions at a $ Cost.
