Hi,
Does anyone know of a Bible that comes with a good index in back?
I used an NAB international student version through out high school and college and it had a great subject index in back.

I’m hoping there is a NABRE that has this.

I choose NABRE because the RSVII-CE has very few notes. My brother is not too open to Christianity, and I’m concerned that he will easily mis-interpret the more literal versions. He will questions (especially about stuff in the O.T. and NABRE at least gives good historical explanations). Until Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch finish the OT, this is what I lean toward for a notes-filled Bible.

He’s shipping out to the armed services and I figure one of those days, he might be inspired to crack open the Word of God.

For an American who interprets things as an American, I think my brother would most benefit from the NABRE.
 
Since he is leaving for the military, does the Bible you seek need to be more compact or could he handle a study Bible-sized one?
 
If he needs a study Bible (which will be larger in size) I would recommend this one: Catholic Bible, Personal Study Edition which you can get from Amazon and everywhere else at a good price.

All NABRE Bibles have chapter introductions and notes, but the Study Bible has a full reading guide (nearly 500 pages) in the front that gives commentary on all the books of the Bible.
 
I should have mentioned above the various St Joseph Edition NABRE’s that Catholic
Book Publishing produces. They come in many sizes and often contain a doctrinal index.

I edited out the World Catholic Press NABRE I mentioned above (with the zipper), because when I checked mine I found out it didn’t have an index included. The new St. Joseph Edition NABRE (large print) that I have does not have an index but it does have a Bible Dictionary with references to where the word can be found in the text.
