The only Catholic study Bible based on the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition (RSV2CE), the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible presents three volumes on poetic and prophetic literature in the Old Testament: Daniel, Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon.
These volumes bring you the written Word of God 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 combine the best insights of ancient, medieval, and modern scholarship, while following 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. The Ignatius Study Bible also includes handy reference materials such as a doctrinal index, a concise concordance, a helpful cross-reference system, and various maps and charts.
