Digital Logos Edition
The Ignatius Study Bible does not include the Bible texts. The print edition cites the RSVCE, available separately.
This volume presents the New Testament in a highly readable, accurate translation, excellent for personal and group study. Extensive study notes, topical essays, and word studies provide fresh and faithful insights informed by time-tested, authentically Catholic interpretations from the Fathers of the Church and other scholars. They also provide rich historical, cultural, geographical, and theological information pertinent to the narratives. Commentaries include the best insights of ancient, medieval, and modern scholarship, and follow the Church’s guidelines for biblical interpretation. Plus, each book is outlined and introduced with an essay covering questions of authorship, date of composition, intended audience, and general themes. Also included are handy reference materials such as a doctrinal index, a concise concordance, a helpful cross-reference system, and various maps and charts.

“Angels that appear as animals. They symbolize the glory of God expressed in creation, e.g., divine authority (lion), strength (ox), intelligence (man), and swiftness (eagle).” (Page 499)
“Allegorically (St. Bede, In Marcum): Jesus heals the blind man to announce the mystery of redemption. As God Incarnate, Jesus heals man through the sacrament of his human nature, here signified by his hands and spittle. This grace cures our spiritual blindness gradually, and, as with the blind man, progress is measured in proportion to our faith. Allegorically (St. Jerome, Homily 79), the restoration of the blind man signifies our gradual increase in wisdom, from the darkness of ignorance to the light of truth. Christ’s spittle is the perfect doctrine that proceeds from his mouth; it enhances our vision and brings us progressively to the knowledge of God.” (Pages 79–80)
