Liturgy and Life Study Bible
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
How does the Bible form our worship practices? How does liturgy incorporate the Bible? The Liturgy and Life Study Bible explores these questions and provides answers for today’s church. This indispensable guide includes essays from the world’s top liturgical and biblical scholars on a variety of subjects, including Jewish liturgical traditions, Psalms as liturgical prayer, early church worship, social justice, sacraments, the Last Supper, and more.
Throughout the biblical text, brief comments flag passages that contain something of liturgical or personal prayer interest. A correlation chart highlights the intersection between biblical passages and the Catholic liturgy, listing every place where a verse of the Bible appears in any liturgical book: the Missal, the orders of sacramental rites, even the Roman Gradual and the Martyrology.
This one-of-a-kind tool will serve researchers, catechists, preachers, and anyone studying the Bible for the purposes of prayer and meditation.

I think the main feature of this study bible is the set of footnotes that show where various biblical passages are used in the worship of the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church. To be able to click on these links and see how the passages are employed in liturgical texts would be tremendously valuable to me. The problem is that there are a few resources in the Verbum library to which these footnotes can link, but Verbum has very few official liturgical texts in its library. Hopefully, the acquisition of this resource in the Verbum library will lead to more official liturgical texts being added to the Verbum library of resources.

This looks to be a great resource, especially for Catholics wishing to deepen their engagement with the Scriptures and with the Catholic Mass.
