Review
“With copious historical and theological notes, incisive commentary and tools for study, the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible New Testament is outstanding for private devotion, personal study and Bible study groups. It is excellent for evangelization and apologetics as well!”
— Stephen Ray, Host of The Footprints of God series; Author of Upon This Rock
— David Currie Author, Born Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic p>“The Ignatius Study Bible is a triumph of both piety and scholarship in the best Catholic tradition: simply the most useful succinct commentary that any Christian or other interested person could hope for.”
— Erasmo Leiva, Author, Fire of Mercy, Heart of the Word
"I am often asked to recommend a study Bible for Catholics, but I have never been able to do so without reservation . . . until now! At last there is a Catholic study Bible that has all of the things you need for an ideal Scripture study experience: a literal version of the biblical text so that you can grasp details that otherwise would be lost in translation, study helps that are theologically orthodox, introductions that respect Christian tradition instead of presenting the ideas of secular biblical scholarship as if they were gospel truth, a faith-building rather than faith-subverting perspective, plus copious notes, word studies, essays, charts, maps, and indexes to help you get the most out of God's word. Trust me. The Ignatius Catholic Study Bible New Testament is the one you've been waiting for!"
— Jimmy Akin, author of The Salvation Controversy, and Catholic Answers

I have the paperback version of this bible and it's true what other reviewers said about the quality of the binding: top-notch! I expect that the color maps at the end portion will not tear off easily since they are also sewn. Even the glue applied to the spine is neatly applied.
The font of the main text can be referred to as "large-print" and thus highly readable. The commentaries are smaller but I can still read them without using my reading glasses. High quality, thicker than the usual bible paper and shows no bleed-through. Beautiful external design and excellent supplementary materials within. Insightful commentaries and commentaries as it relates to the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
as an example of the first, consider this excerpt of the commentary on John 4:18 (Samaritan Woman at the well)
...4:18 five husbands: The woman has endured multiple marital struggles. The woman's personal life parallels historical experience of the Samaritan people. According to 2 Kings 17:24-31, the five foreign tribes who intermarried with the northern Israelites (Samaritans) introduced five male deities into the region. These idols where individually addressed as Baal, a Hebrew word meaning "lord" or "husband."...
So far none of my other study bibles (ESV Study Bible and NLT Study Bible) mentioned this bit of information in relation to the five deceased husbands of the Samaritan woman. From here you can then relate the present state of the woman's affair with a man who is not her husband to the words that Jesus spoke, "...you worship what you do not know." The parallelism is striking: 5 dead husbands = 5 former pagan deities and her living at present with a man who's not her husband = her worshiping at present a god who she do not know.
And for the second, here is something unique to this study bible alone: a moral application as espoused by the Living Tradition of the Church. For example, in John 7:45-11, in the story of the woman who was caught in adultery, the Bible mentions that Jesus bent down twice to write something in the sand, saying in between these actions, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her."
Part of the commentary on that passage reads: Morally (St. Bede, Hom. in Evan.): Christ, who twice bends down to write on the ground, teaches us to bend low in humility to examine ourselves both before and after addressing the faults of our neighbor. If his example becomes our practice, we will avoid as he did the extremes of being unjust and unmerciful toward others.
God willing, the publishers will be able to release the Old Testament version before too long.
5 stars for workmanship, quality of materials and excellence of study tools.
additional note as of December 6, 2010:
I also bought the hardbound version in late November. The book is so good I had to give one to my mother!
Update as of September 20, 2011:
I am now on my second round of reading the bible. Slowly this time. I discovered that having a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (Vatican II) adds a lot to the usability of this bible! I have also ordered my third copy: the leatherbound one which I can take with me in my car wherever I go.
First, the translation. The RSV is accurate and still contains beauty. Having its roots in the Authorized Version it is not dumbed down, basic english. A joy to read.
The NIV as some folks know is a 'dynamic equivalent'. Not precise and not beautiful. Ordinary. The NAS is accurate but not nearly as beautiful as the RSV.
Second, the features. Fantastic. Features I have not seen in other study Bibles.
The introduction to the Bible itself reminds you what the Bible is, "You are approaching the 'word of God'. ...The word of God is Scripture. The Word of God is Jesus. ...'All Sacred Scripture is but one book, and this one book is Christ, because all divine Scripture speaks of Christ, and all divine Scripture is fulfilled in Christ. ... When we approach the Bible, then, we approach Jesus, the Word of God."
It then goes on to explains Inspiration, Inerrancy, Biblical authority, the Senses of Scripture and even gives the criteria for proper Biblical interpretation. Not all Study Bibles do this.
The other great and unique features are marked by icons. One informs you of the 'content and unity of Scripture.' It shows how particular passages of the OT illuminates the mystery of the NT.
Another examines particular passages in light of the Church's 'living tradition' - creeds, councils, Church Fathers, Doctors and saints.
One more deals with the 'analogy of faith.' It spells out how the mysteries of our faith unlock and explain one another.
The last feature I'll mention that is unique to this study Bible and a real treasure is the Index of Doctrines. For example, Our Lord: the Index lists all the verses that touch on the various teachings about Jesus Christ. It does the same with all kinds of doctrines.
This study Bible has the typical maps, lists of parables, miracles, charts and word studies too.
The only negative things to say are: like all study Bibles its big; and I can't wait for them to finish the whole Bible (you can buy the individuals as they are completed. Genesis is done.)
Buy it, try it, you'll love it!
PS,
Don't study the Scriptures to death. The Bible is not a text book. Pray the words of God more than you analyze them. Buy 'Praying the Bible: An Introduction to Lectio Divina' by Mariano Magrassi.

Al parecer el AT va a salir en 2022, pero siempre van alargando más la fecha.
Ich empfehle das Buch jedem, der moderat viele Informationen will. Die Erklärungen sind sehr gut und leicht verständlich.
