Meets a long-unmet need among Catholics for a conservative Bible resource.

Simply put, it is fantastic and a great tool for Catholics.

Once a generation a truly unique Bible tool is given to the Church. The Ignatius Study Bible is a gift for our generation. This is the most important book since the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Every parish study group and every student of Sacred Scripture should own and use this.
