The Catholic Study Bible addressed this crucial need. It has been widely accepted for use by advanced students, who have benefited from its wealth of background information on the historical, literary, and theological dimensions of the Bible. The Second Edition of this landmark resource has been significantly upgraded. The study notes have been completely rewritten, and there are new and expanded essays and sidebars on special topics in the study materials and biblical text. The heart of this edition's ancillary materials remains its extensive Reading Guide that leads the reader through the Scriptures, book by book. Clear marginal references in the biblical text point to specific pages in the Reading Guide, easing the retrieval of important background information. A 15-page Glossary defines biblical terms with which students may not be familiar. Also included is a handy 72-page selective concordance (index) to the New American Bible translation. This resource is a valuable aid to in-depth Scripture study (not available in the College Edition). Also included: the complete Sunday and weekday lectionary readings for all three liturgical years of the Church, plus 32 pages of authoritative, full-color Oxford Bible Maps with place-name index. * Articles (Biblical History and Archaeology; Catholic Interpretation of the Bible; Challenges of Biblical Translation; Paul and His Writings) * Introductory Sectrions (1 & 2 Samuel; 1 & 2 Kings; Major Prophets, Baruch, and Lamentations * Index to Study Materials Average Rating:
 Rating: - Good Catholic Study BibleOriginally I purchased this for my son who is going to Iraq. I was going to give it to him for Christmas. However, I noted the print was so small and he had asked for something bigger than what the Army issued prints are, so I ended up ordering him something different - not a study Bible. With all of the good study material included on each page, it is necessary for the print to be the smaller size - so it's a good Bible if you want a study Bible with all of the extra information in it - the references ...

Very easy to read, Notes are extremely helpful, as well as the reading guide in the front of the book which helps you put what you are reading into a historlical perspective, making it easier to understand. I highly reccomend this Bible to all that are starting their studies of the Sacred Book. Rating: - Awesome Study BibleIt is so great to have a study Bible that has historical information and liturgal information that the Protestant Church is missing out on so much of today. Rating:  - Is this really an update?I am not going to get into the discussion about the positive and negative features of the NAB, but rather focus on a couple things about this 2nd Edition of the Catholic Study Bible. Two things stand out to me: 1) I really don't see the need in revising the older edition. To be honest, much of the material remains the same as in older versions. The textual notes, which come with all NAB's, is exactly the same. In addition, the inclusion of expanded reading guides and the terribly bland ...
