Having been a long time user of the New Testament edition of the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible, when word first came out that there would be a combined OT/NT edition, a large number of Catholics who had a serious bible study habit were very enthusiastic. Now that it has now made it into publication, this takes precedence as the premier study bible available for Catholics (the Oxford University Press "Catholic Study Bible" is not a particularly good one, even though it has a similar name to this).

The study notes are as orthodox as you can get being edited and mostly written by Curtis Mitch and Scott Hahn. The Scripture translation is the Revised Standard Version - Second Catholic Edition which is my preferred Catholic Bible translation (over the Douay-Rheims, ESV-CE and NRSV-CE).

For those from evangelical Protestant backgrounds who want to see for yourselves what Catholics believe about Scripture, to quote the line that…
