I did a search for this but couldn’t find anything (that wasn’t buried under 37 pages of comments to read)…

Does anyone know of a good resource for a Catholic Bible study? Preferably one that goes along with the pre-1962 order of readings…

Any help would be most appreciated.

IMHO it’s way too much to get hung up on ‘traditional’ Catholic Bible study. The truth is truth, the Bible is the Bible–and that didn’t change in 1962. If a Bible study is good, honest, true, and faithful to the Magisterium, then we should all want to sign up. 🙂
 
The problem is that modern Bible studies have fallen for the horrible Biblical exegesis of the Modernists. The Raymond Brown school of Biblical studies have been king for years and even conservative bishops have fallen these errors.

Modern Bible studies are likely to teach you that Genesis was a myth or allegory instead of history. The Gospels will be explained as not historical, but embellishments of a later local Church which wanted to make their point.

It would be the bad exegesis like the footnotes found in the New American Bible which was written by liberals and Modernists.

Robert Sungenis offers Biblical studies on his website and he is an amazing Biblical scholar and creationist.

I have also heard the Fr. George Leo Haydock offers good Biblical commentary.

It has been called the Haydock Bible because it is the Douay-Rheims version of the Bible with his commentary on both the Old and New Testaments. It is a huge book with the normal Bible and commentaries.

It is reprinted from the original 1859 version. It’s before '62 but is certainly very traditional. 👍

misterbee,
There is a good Catholic Study Bible by Ignatius press(always orthodox)Revised Standard Version Second Catholic Edition The Gospel of John With introduction, commentary and Notes by Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch and with study questions by Dennis Walters.
 
I use both the Navarre and the Ignatius study bible - both come in several volumes. They both use the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition. The approach of each type is different; the Navarre is more a devotional study bible which makes great use of the Vatican documents, the writings of the Church Fathers and St Josemaria. The Ignatius is more your orthodox traditional study bible. I find that the different approaches compliment one another.

I agree that the Truth is the truth… I should have been more specific in my request. I only asked for a ‘Traditional Bible Study’ because I know that many Catholic Bible studies follow along with the readings of the week and of Sunday… and since the calendar changed at Vatican II and I attend a Latin Mass, I wanted something that would correlate with the readings I’d hear on Sundays.
 
I just attended a leadership seminary for Jeff Cavins Great Adventure Bible Timeline program. Totally orthodox. And blow-you-away insightful program. I highly recommend it.
