My guess would be a minimum six. If they’re publishing the NT in two volumes, that would suggest the OT will likely be split into the Pentateuch, the historical books, the wisdom books, and the prophets.the first volume will be the Gospels, which makes me wonder how many volumes there will be.

Here are a few pictures of the exterior and interior:Four years in the making, The Word on Fire Bible is a groundbreaking new book introducing readers to the strange, colorful world of the Bible. It was designed to appeal not just to Christians, but to nonbelievers, searchers, and those with far more questions than answers. It doesn’t presume any experience with the Bible. In fact, it was created for people reading the Bible seriously for the first time, unsure what to make of its many events and characters.
It’s a cathedral in print, the highest-quality Catholic Bible ever produced for mass distribution.
Inside this first volume of the series, you’ll find the four Gospels surrounded by illuminating artwork and helpful commentary from Bishop Robert Barron, the Church Fathers, and some of the greatest saints, mystics, artists, and scholars throughout history, allowing the story of Jesus Christ to shine with new clarity and splendor.
You’ll discover insights from John Chrysostom, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, John Henry Newman, G.K. Chesterton, Thérèse of Lisieux, Fulton Sheen, John Paul II, and many other teachers in the way of the Spirit.

Here’s the description from the press kit:
Based on its translation of Mark 6:1, it looks like it’s the NRSV-CE.I’m curious what translation this one will use.

Aha, you’re right. There’s a FAQ at the end of the press kit: I didn’t scroll down that far.Found it in that press kit, that’s what it is.
The press kit says all versons will be Smythe-sewn. And the paper: " The paper is not the traditionally thin Bible paper most readers are used to. It is thick and matte-coated, keeping the ink right at the surface of the page so images appear vivid and sharp."I’m mostly curious about the quality of construction. In my mind it would ruin the theme of the bible being a cathedral in print if the binding is glued rather than sewn. Paper quality is important if they are going to have illustrations/artwork as well.
Dummy text. Somebody goofed, or it’s cached because it’s not ready for release yet, are my guesses.In the FAQ, under the heading “Commentary,” there are three questions: How much commentary?, How is it arranged?, and Who else?. When you click on those questions, what do you see??
