Which is the best Catholic Apologetics Study Bible?

Douay-Reihms, Ignatius press, or some other? Your thoughts please.
 
I would have to disagree on the New American Bible as the translation is liberal with inclusive language and the footnotes favor modern theories that do not stand to criticism. I have found the footnotes of the NAB to be…rather dismissing of Catholic theology. If you read the reviews on the amazon website, several reviewers readily agree to what I have said.

I recommend the Ignatius Study Bible of the New Testament. It’s inexpensive and only the New Testament, but it is the Revised Standard Version and it presents solid Catholic teaching.

absolutely agree. Amazon also sells the Kindle version if you happen to have their ebook reader device or the kindle app on your smartphone.
 
I Love the Ignatius study bible. I use it the most. I read on elsewhere on the forum that Genesis was released. I hope the OT is going to come out within a few years.

It may depend on whether you are defending the faith to protestants or to agnostics/athiests. I like the Catholic study bible for bringing athiests into the fold. For the protestants the Ignatius is better.
