I’m looking for recommendations for a Catholic Bible for note talking. My wife has this one:


I’m not opposed to this journaling Bible; I’m just looking for other options for comparison. Any suggestions don’t have to be a journaling Bible; something with decent sized margins would suffice. Also, I would prefer if the Bible is actually a Catholic Bible (DR, RSVCE, RSV2CE, NAB, NABRE, etc.) Thanks.

Also…sorry for the repetition, I saw some older threads devoted to this topic, but the responses are years old.
 
I have also been trying to look for a good Catholic journaling Bible and have looked into Blessed is She, but have not brought it. For now, I usually just write on tons of sticky notes and put them in my Bible.
 
I have the OSV one, but I find the print very very small. If it weren’t for that, I’d love it.
 
I love the Didache Bible, great study Bible. If I wasn’t considering a wide margin, or journaling Bible, I’d probably mark it up. Part of my issue is I tend to write a little large.
 
I haven’t seen this one in person, but it is shown in the Leaflet Missal catalog.

The catalog says it’s NABRE. The pictures show lots of room for notes.
 
I use a separate notebook with a section for each Bible book to write notes, chapter and verse numbers by themselves or with summaries or keywords, or whole verses written down.
This way I have all the room I need. This works for me but there’s no one best way that’s the same for everyone.

I grew up in a Protestant tradition that was what I would consider borderline Bible-worshiping, and we always wrote in our personal Bibles. It was a sign of serious study and devotion.

Which is probably why they do SO much better than we do with creating Bibles that you CAN take good notes in. I do wish we’d catch up.
 
Same here. I’m struggling to find a Bible I like as well as my old NKJV with all of its extras. I still use it as my go-to, in fact, for personal study unless I need something from a particular translation or one of the deuterocanonicals.

I really like the ESV, and they have a number of nice editions for note-taking. But I’ve heard that there may be a Catholic edition coming, so I hate to get one and then a CE comes out a year later!
 
I keep a separate notebook and just make a number in the bible, then the notes are kept in order of books of the bible. That way if something inspires a page of reflection I don’t run out of space. And the next time I read that verse it won’t have last time’s thoughts right next to it unless I want to look them up.
