The Revised Standard Version of the Bible, considered to be the most accurate translation into English of the original Hebrew and Greek texts, is used and referred to by the global Catholic Church the most frequently. It includes helpful commentary notes on each book as well as the seven Deuterocanonical books. Due to the exhaustive interpretation of many Church scholars and theologians, it features the best combination of literal and literary expressions. Ignatius Press is its official publisher; thus, it is commonly known as the Ignatius Bible. The RSV Catholic Edition is used today in official Church pronouncements and has served as the basis for the scriptural text used in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The only Catholic Study Bible based on the Revised Standard Version 2nd Catholic Edition, the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible New Testament brings together all of the books of the New Testament and the penetrating study tools developed by renowned Bible teachers Dr. Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch. 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. Commentaries include the best insights of ancient, medieval, and modern scholarship, and follow the Church's guidelines for biblical interpretation. Plus, each New Testament book is outlined and introduced with an essay covering questions of authorship, date of composition, intended audience, and general themes. Handy reference materials such as a doctrinal index, a concise concordance, a helpful cross-reference system, and various maps and charts.
