The long-awaited Ignatius Catholic Study Bible: Old and New Testament is here!

[@jd4evr2001]

Been waitin' for this like you, for too long. Thanks for this review

[@adamroberts6990]

Thank you for your video. Very helpful. I to have both Catholic and Protestant study bibles and enjoy both. Been waiting for this one soooooo long 😊

[@myrnacarandang1470]

Hi am from the Philippines. Glad to see your review. This really makes me envious because I wanted so much to have a copy of this new Ignatian Old & New Study Bible because I have a regular bible study and I know this will be a very useful helpful reference for me. 😢

[@daubiebooks63]

I would imagine that it will be available in the Philippines within the year. Is yours in English?

[@myrnacarandang1470]

I am truly not that sure if and when. Yes mine is English. I will not be ashamed to admit I am low-tech so that ordering on- line is kinda confusing and hard for me. My thanks that my comment catched your attention. More power and God bless always!

[@RobertGReaderofBooks-r3p]

I received the Ignatius Study Bible yesterday, too. What a behemoth! Beautiful, the commentary certain to be inspiring, but a behemoth of a book nonetheless. I noticed you have a few of The Navarre Bible volumes on your shelf. There's some good commentary in those editions as well,

[@daubiebooks63]

I love the Navarre Bibles. My plan is to purchase more volumes in the future. Robert, do you have any of the Word on Fire Bibles?

[@RobertGReaderofBooks-r3p]

@@daubiebooks63 I don’t have any of the Word on Fire Bible volumes, at least not yet. However, I do have some other books published by Word on Fire: “After Stoicism” by Thomas Ward, “Beauty and Imitation” by Daniel McInerny, “The Great Story of Israel” by Bishop Barron, and the 4 volume boxed set “Socrates’ Children” by Peter Kreeft. Regarding Bishop Barron: I’ve been an admirer before he was anointed bishop, and I have a few of his books from that time as well. I’ve also had the wonderful privilege of attending a mass said by him at St Emily’s in Mount Prospect, Il., and I heard him speak at St Procopius Abbey in Lisle, Il. (I live in Chicago.)

[@daubiebooks63]

@RobertGReaderofBooks-r3p oh wow you have a such a nice collection there. I’ve been curious about the Socrates Children set for awhile now. How is it? Is it a good intro to philosophy? Does it provide more than that? I do have The Great Story of Israel but haven’t read it yet. I would have loved to attend one if Bishop Barren’s talks or Masses while he was still here in California. Hoping for another opportunity in the future. The WOF Bibles are quite stunning. I have all four volumes and will complete my collection as they are published. Thanks Robert 😊

[@RobertGReaderofBooks-r3p]

@@daubiebooks63 Kreeft's "Socrates' Children" is a thorough introduction to philosophy from Antiquity to The Modern Age. It's really good, and each of the 4 volumes can be read cover to cover, or dipped into as the mood suits, or used as a reference source.You won't be disappointed. If you have read any of Kreeft's other books, you know what to expect: a gentle, fatherly wit, an ability to untangle and then clearly explain the most complex of concepts, and a man of deep abiding faith. I know this sounds like an advertisement, but I don't get any kick-back from it, hahaha, it's just that good.

[@daubiebooks63]

@RobertGReaderofBooks-r3p Thank you Robert. I’m going to take another look at the set. 😊

[@greatbooksbigideas]

Thanks for the walkthrough. Looks like an amazing resource!

[@anthtan]

I have that Ignatius Bible (blue cover) too!

[@Paul9443]

11:46 I've heard that "a catholic commentary on holy scripture" by Don Bernard Orchard, published in 1953 (not to be confused with later version), is a great study bible. Might be worth keeping the crosshairs on that to buy it cheaper.

[@Paul9443]

3:38 Behemoth indeed. 😄

[@Paul9443]

Thank you for showcasing this behemoth, and your catholic collection.

[@daubiebooks63]

Hmm, I haven't heard of that one. I'll look it up. Thanks Paul.

[@AmericanShia786]

I have shelves for Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, and Anabaptist books. I also have a shelf dedicated to Shi'ite Muslim books, and one for Sunni Muslim books. There is also a shelf for Buddhist, Taoist, and Sikh books. Since you like books, I subscribed.

[@daubiebooks63]

Wow! I think that’s wonderful. Would love to see some of those shelves.

[@johnmartin4650]

Gives new meaning to “throwing the book “at someone……..does it need the imprimatur ?……..thank you for the review (Ignatius Press has some great stuff) .

[@kainech]

This looks like an outstanding Bible. How extensive are the cross references to the OT. It's really hard to get a Bible with good cross references to the entire RC OT (much less the Orthodox one).

[@daubiebooks63]

@@kainech That’s a good question. I took a quick look and found that every page in the NT has cross references to both OT and NT.

[@kainech]

@@daubiebooks63 Thanks.

[@solastalgia4716]

bible size queen!

[@leroyng]

Really large Bible. Very nice!! Hard cover ya ?

[@daubiebooks63]

@@leroyng Yes. I prefer them over the traditional leather bound.

[@RionBraggs]

​@@daubiebooks63 I am planning on getting the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible. Do you think it would be better to get the Hardcover or the Leather one?

[@Ch3fRuben]

@@RionBraggs Get the hardcover man, the bonded leather on such a chunky study Bible might not hold up well long term, the sheer size alone takes a toll on any binding, let alone soft bonded leather. The leather version of the Ignatius Bible is amazing, but the study Bible is (in my opinion) too big to not have hardcover. The hardcover lays flat, too, which you’ll probably want from a study Bible if you’re gonna have it open while you multitask. Can’t go wrong with either one, but I’d suggest hardcover

[@RionBraggs]

@@Ch3fRuben Thanks a lot. 🙏 Do you have the Hardcover with you? I'm guessing that you do because you mentioned it 'lays flat'.

[@michelleschoppe5390]

I preordered and got the leather bound, kind of wishing I had gotten the hardback 😊

[@shellbackbeau7021]

I pre-ordered two, but I'm guessing they'll show up in late January to mid February

[@daubiebooks63]

Why so long?

[@TheZealotsDen]

You should Collab with Terry's book and bible reviews channel!

[@Ben-kh7wh]

Is the New Testament portion of this new study Bible the exact same as the old Ignatius new testament Bible?

[@daubiebooks63]

Yes.

[@ThePlayfarer]

From what I understand it may have had a few updates, but I'm not certain.

[@daubiebooks63]

I’ll check.

[@daubiebooks63]

I just took a quick look and the only difference that I found was a new section at the beginning of the New Testament entitled, “Introduction to the Gospels.” Everything else looks the same.

[@liquidnitrogen58]

What about the Little Rock Catholic Study Bible ? Please give me one if you have an extra

[@glennlanham6309]

Just got mine, hope you need Biceps carrying this around

[@daubiebooks63]

Lol!

[@kevinbourdeau1543]

What’s the difference between a Catholic and Protestant study bibles?

[@daubiebooks63]

Catholic Bible has more Old Testament books in it than a Protestant Bible.

[@socratesfriend745]

@@daubiebooks63 Thats kinda true but is unique to the American KJV. The Europeans kept what is commonly called the Apocrypha ie Oxford Bible.

[@daubiebooks63]

@@socratesfriend745 thank you for that. I went upstairs to check my copy of the Oxford Bible , and that’s exactly what I found. Thanks again my friend.

[@socratesfriend745]

@@daubiebooks63 You are welcome it was an american Phenomenon to have excluded the Apocrypha that was also in the Original King James Bible. That happened around 1900 when the Revised Version of the KJV was released by those protestant scholars. They worked for about 20 or more years from about 1880 to 1900 to produce the RV both european and American Scholars. They all worked together to revise the Apocrypha and then when it time to release the entire work OT NT and Apo the Amercians excluded their own work from the RV. Now people think the Apo is a Catholic invention.

[@daubiebooks63]

@ I’ve learned something new today. Thank you 😊

[@liquidnitrogen58]

Will someone please explain to me Ephesians 2:8-9 ??? It sounds like saved by faith alone :( please help

[@RionBraggs]

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God- not because of works, lest any man should boast. - Ephesians 2:8-9 (RSV-2CE) Amen to that. That's pure Catholic doctrine. The great Doctors of the Church, St Augustine & St Thomas Aquinas, loved the formulation of 'Faith Alone' insofar as 'faith' is not interpreted as the Lutheran (Protestant) heretical Luciferian definition of 'intellectual faith' that saves. It is not this but 'faith working through charity' is the faith (alone) that saves. The KZbin Channels @MilitantThomist and @HowToBeChristian have a lot of video resources regarding 'Faith Alone'. The former talks about how the formulation of 'Faith Alone' is Catholic Dogma when interpreted as how the Church (and its Doctors like Aquinas and Augustine) interpreted it for millennia, and the latter talks about the incoherence of the Lutheran formulation of 'Faith Alone' with Sacred Scripture.

[@liquidnitrogen58]

@ I still don’t understand. Please help.

[@RionBraggs]

​@@liquidnitrogen58You might not have read my original reply properly. I talked about Faith Alone and how it can be affirmed if Faith is defined as 'Faith working through charity (love)'. I had mentioned 'video resources', and for your ease and salvation I shall link the major videos regarding Justification below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqGmZ3eObrhkhZosi=hwY7byO__COa_191 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnq7mWqLpr5-prMsi=q5HWLwLys2C8mJ9Q kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4raZq13hdqNr7csi=Uy6ECoe_U9yZobOy kzbin.info/aero/PLTkdKVFbIe_0q0GDwDzCjh0EmoiU6A6ii&si=fN2fV9n7jBpUjfKF

[@revelation12_1]

Read the next verse: 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, _which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them._ Ephesians 2:10 RSV-CE Being saved and being justified are often used interchangeably. We are not justified because of any works we have done, but after we accept Christ we must do the works that God has prepared for our sanctification. Salvation is not a one time thing and belief alone is not salvific. That is unbiblical. “He who endures to the end will be saved” (Matt. 24:13; cf. 25:31-46) which shows that the path to eternal life is something to be endured and that we must work out our salvation “in fear and trembling” (Phil. 2:12). Regarding the issue of whether Christians have an “absolute” assurance of salvation, regardless of their actions, consider this warning Paul gave: “See then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you too will be cut off” (Rom. 11:22; see also Heb. 10:26-29, 2 Pet. 2:20-21).

[@socratesfriend745]

@@liquidnitrogen58 Faith only is a protestant heresy. Your faith must be connected to action. James said faith without works is dead. Read Hebrews chapter 11. This demonstrates how faith resulted in some action. By faith Noah built an arc and so on. Many confuse this with the works of the Law which do not save.
