"This landmark resource, the first fully-based on the authoritative NABRE
translation, contains the trustworthy study notes, expanded essays, and
informational sidebars which have guided and informed students and general
readers for 25 years. In this new edition, which comes in a protective
slipcase, one-third of the Reading Guide materials are new, and all of the
other Guides have been reviewed and revised by their original authors. The
extensive Reading Guide, the focal point of this volume, leads the reader
through the Scriptures, book by book. References and background information
are clearly laid out to guide the reader to a fuller understanding of the
Bible. New to this edition is a more extensive treatment of the biblical
background, including history and archeology. Other outstanding features
include: a 15-page glossary of special terms and complete Sunday and weekday
lectionary readings for the liturgical years of the Church. Thirty-two
beautiful pages of full-color Oxford Bible Maps come with a place-name index
for easy reference. Perfect for both higher education and clergy, Bible
study and general readers, The Catholic Study Bible is an essential resource
for both experienced students and first-time readers."--Provided by

Review Quotes:
"The Bible itself is a very handsome one. It comes with an almost six hundred page reading guide, which I found to be an excellent guide and introduction to the Bible as a whole, as well as each book contained within the Bible This is an excellent study Bible. Any serious student of the Bible would be pleased to own one, whether Catholic, Protestant, or Mormon. This Mormon is pleased to own one."--Association of Mormon Letters
