Any project involving Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch is especially tantalizing! That's why I am so happy with the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible. Our Catholic people are so hungry for God's Word! Take and read!" — Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York "This is sacred Scripture presented as the inspired Word of God, the foundation of Catholic doctrine and liturgy, and the touchstone of the saints in every age. A quarter-century in the making, the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible features notes and essays that explain the sacred text in light of the Church's magisterium, critical research, archeology, and other disciplines. This makes for a reading experience that is profound and faithful, educational and spiritual. The ICSB respects the unity of the Old and New Testament and highlights the pattern of types — foreshadowing and fulfillment — that is a defining characteristic of the Bible." — Scott Hahn, Ph.D. "I've never seen a more complete and useful study Bible. The editors incorporate the riches of the tradition of the Fathers alongside the best of modern critical scholarship. From Genesis to Revelation, they manifest a rare sense of the Bible as a liturgical book and source of Catholic doctrine. From this day forward, I assure you, the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible will be at my desk and open." — Mike Aquilina, author, Rabbles, Riots, and Ruins: Twelve Ancient Cities and How They Were Evangelized "If you have to take a single Bible resource to a desert island, let it be Ignatius Catholic Study Bible! Faithful to the tradition and magisterium and cognizant of the best modern scholarship, this is a landmark achievement that will permanently impact English-speaking Catholicism around the world." — Dr. John Bergsma, Franciscan University and St. Paul Center "This is the 'Go-To' resource for any lay Catholic wanting to go deeper into Scripture. Coming from the heart of the Church, The Ignatius Study Bible provides historical background to the sacred text, insightful interpretation, and wisdom from the Church Fathers and current Biblical scholarship, in a practical, easy-to-use format that enriches our reading of the Bible as Catholics." — Edward Sri, S.T.D., Sr. Vice President of Apostolic Outreach, FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students)
