I want a good Catholic study Bible - Recommendations?

[Melchior]

Any recommendations?

I am only looking for good translations. I will not spend my money on an NAB (no offense). So something with an orthodox translation and orthodox commentary is what I am looking for.

Thanks!

Let me qualify what I said about the NAB. If there is a good study Bible that I can only get in the NAB I would probably get it for the notes.

This is my favorite…facsilile reproduction of the 1859 Douay-Rheims with notes from Fr. Leo Haydock…worth the $90!!!

I meant facsimile…too early in the morning, I guess…still a great study bible despite my poor spelling/typing!!

Your best bet is either:

The Ignatius Study Bible series:
catholiccompany.com/product_detail.cfm?ID=5165

The Navarre Bible commentary:
catholiccompany.com/display_results.cfm?category=466

The Haydock Douay-Rheims Bible:
loretopubs.org/acx/store/store.cgi?page_name=view_product&product=5297763&category=3952283

The Ignatius/Navarre Bible series uses the RSV:CE text. The Haydock uses the Douay-Rheims text. The Ignatius study Bible series can be purchased indivdiually for ~$10 each.

I would certainly recommend the Navarre series.

I would also look at the Ancient Christian Commentary series which involves participation from Catholic, Orthodox, and conservative Protestant scholars all of whom take a very high view of the Early Church Fathers.

Thanks everyone.

Just curious. Other than the DR’s is there another one volume Bible with Commentary out there?
