Below the Scripture is a running verse-by-verse commentary full of insight and connections to other scriptural or traditional material. These comments are keyed to help readers understand the passage in light of (1) the relationship between Old and New Testaments, (2) the Church’s Tradition, and (3) the analogy of faith. As if this were not enough, there are substantive in-text essays and sidebars that treat a range of issues, like word studies of key terms or treatments of controversial topics like “Is Matthew’s Infancy Narrative Historical?” or “Jesus on Marriage and Divorce.” Finally, the text contains numerous maps, a doctrinal index, and a concordance.

Looking for gifts to encourage and deepen the faith of your family or friends? A solid Catholic study Bible is a good choice. But which study Bible is right? What are the differences among them? Here is a guide to the major Catholic study Bibles on the market. Although it is not marketed as such, the New Jerusalem Bible contains many common features of study bibles. It has a great cross-reference system and extensive notes. The Old Testament notes reflect modern critical scholarship (JEPD, late dates, pseudonymous writings, etc.); however, the New Testament notes are more traditional (rejecting Markan priority and “Q,” for example), though not completely traditional (2 Peter is said to be pseudonymous). The good news is that there are several excellent Catholic study Bibles, each with unique strengths. Protestants are often thought to have the best biblical resources available. But as I hope this survey shows, we Catholics are truly blessed. For those who are pursuing more academic or research oriented study of Scripture, we do await the completion of the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible. But for beginning to intermediate readers of Scripture, who primarily read Scripture devotionally or in parish Bible studies, the Great Adventure Catholic Bible is clearly the best choice. The Didache Study Bible is offered in the RSV as well as the NABRE. The title and study notes were inspired by the Midwest Theological Forum’s Didache series of religious education textbooks, and are very often based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The notes and essays (which fall on a spectrum of traditional Catholic teaching) are non-academic, but certainly not anti-intellectual or overly “spiritual.” There are over a hundred apologetic essays answering common questions about the Catholic faith. It also includes a biblical reading guide, theme summary, chronology, maps, glossary, and topical index. The New Jerusalem Bible is the 1985 update to the 1966 Jerusalem Bible—a translation that itself is based on the French La Bible de Jérusalem translated by the faculty of the Dominican Biblical School in Jerusalem. The original translation was mixed bag: literal in some respects, but with a loosely translated Old Testament text made up of a combination of various textual traditions. The NJB, however, is not based on this French translation but on the original biblical languages. It is fairly literal, but includes some intriguing poetical influences (including translation work by J.R.R. Tolkien on the book of Jonah!). Another rarity is the NJB’s transliteration of the divine name (the Hebrew tetragrammaton) as “Yahweh.” The NJB comes with its own set of notes, and these reflect a mix of traditional and critical approaches.If you wish to have the best traditional, orthodox study notes, the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible is hard to beat. The Didache Bible is a close second. Both feature the top-notch RSV translation and their notes are generally faithful to Church tradition.

One of the challenges of study Bibles is trying not to swamp or bog down the Scripture with so many annotations that end up obfuscating the text itself or distracting from devotional reading. I appreciate that the GACB keeps the text of Scripture mostly undisturbed with minimal intervention. This allows the reader to read and meditate on the text without feeling the pressure of having to investigate every detail all at once. When the reader needs more context, he or she can turn to the aforementioned essays.

Dive into God's Word

The New American Bible was the first Catholic translation made directly from the original biblical languages (rather than from the Latin Vulgate). When the Old Testament was revised, it was officially replaced by the New American Bible Revised Edition. The NABRE is a “formal equivalent” translation, which means it is not a literal word-for-word rendering of the original text but not a paraphrase either. The translation is most notably criticized for its avoidance of gender-indicative terminology whenever possible, including references to God.
