My question is why was there a need for the IGNATIUS Study Bible If the Navarre is so good . Both are the RSV-CE. I’ve heard very good reports about both. I’m just curious, why another? Another thing I’m curious about is would the commentaries from the Haydock DR, Navarre and the Ignatius all be different. It seems that truth is truth. Can someone help me out here?
 
All the commentaries you mentioned are excellent, but they all have different emphases. The Navarre, for example, is more pastoral: it has some good historical background, but it concentrates mainly on plumbing the spiritual depths of the Scriptures and what the saints and other spiritual writers have reflected on about certain passages.

The Ignatius series, on the other hand, concentrates more on providing background, cross references, word studies and topical articles, questions for study and reflection, etc. More of a true Study Bible. Both approaches, along with personal meditation and the teachings of the Church, are valuable in really understanding the Scriptures which, as the word of God, are so profound that a hundred commentaries could never exhaust the depths of their riches.

For more information, I humbly recommend you visit my website at the link below.
