From reading a number of things on sites and all the reviews on Amazon I am wanting to get the amazon.com/Ignatius-Catholic-Study-Bible-Testament/dp/1586172506/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1364124182&sr=1-4&keywords=Ignatius+catholic+old+testament

I am having trouble finding a study Bible or even non-study Bible that is just the OT. Does anyone know of one?

I don’t want to buy a NT and then a full Bible.

Or, you could purchase the full (OT and NT) Igantius Bible: amazon.com/Ignatius-Bible-Revised-Standard-Catholic/dp/0898708338/

If you want just an Old Testament study Bible the only one that comes to mind is ‘The Jewish Study Bible’ by Oxford. If you want a Catholic or ecumenical study Bible you are going to get both the Old and New Testaments, unless you get the above mentioned New Testament Study Bible.

Note that the The Jewish Study Bible uses the JPS translation which obscures certain prominent prophesies of Christ and its notes are made from a Jewish viewpoint.

It seems that they are in the process of making the Old Testament Ignatius Study Bible:

Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon: ignatius.com/IProducts/237024/proverbs-ecclesiastes-song-of-solomon.aspx

Genesis: ignatius.com/IProducts/36534/the-book-of-genesis.aspx

Exodus: ignatius.com/IProducts/135291/exodus.aspx

Why is it the Bible are like that? Finding a study Bible seems hard enough when it comes to Catholic Bibles. I guess I am just use to a large assortment(which really isn’t the best) but all having really good study Bibles. I could go with a non-study one but it always provokes more reading in me and more digging into God’s word, which is always a very good idea.
 
The complete Ignatius Catholic Study Bible is probably still a couple of years away but there are a couple of other Catholic Study Bibles out there:

'The Little Rock Catholic Study Bible and ‘The Catholic Bible, Personal Study Edition’ both use the NABRE translation, and contain historical-critical notes and commentary (so if this is not your cup of tea you might look elsewhere). I have both of these editions if you have any questions.
