Navarre Study Bible?
http://www.ewtnreligiouscatalogue.co...ProductDetails
http://www.ewtnreligiouscatalogue.co...ProductDetails
Who owns this Bible? I want to get it, but first, I want to know if it supports the traditional authorship of the New Testamant books and gives good, solid, Catholic commentary. I also need to know if it has an imprimatur and nihil obstat. Thank you. Also, which of the two links would be the better buy? I mean, should I go with the whole New Covenant, or just the Gospels and Acts?
Please, tell me everything you know about these study Bibles. Do they still have the questionable footnotes and introductions from the standard Ignatius Bible (RSV-CE)? I have been too often disappointed by Bible commentary. I want to pick a winner this time. God knows that bad commentaries have deeply devestated my faith in the past, and resulted in me being very sensative to the questioning of Sacred Scripture. I want the safest commentary possible, preferrably using the RSV-CE, because my Church sometimes uses that translation in the lectionary when the NAB is to difficult to revise for Liturgical use.

The Navarre Study Bible has Traditional Commentary. It is more for growing Spiritually than gaining more knowledge about Scripture. I posses the individual paperback NT volumes. There's a Nihil Obstat and an Imprimi Potest for the Commentary itself, but no Imprimatuer. Yet there is no cause for worry for the absence, the commentary is very solidly Traditional Catholic. Quite alot of the Commentary comes from St Jose Maria Escriva.
You may want to ammend those links, cant access them.

Re: Navarre Study Bible?
I have the Navarre editions of the Gospels + Acts and The Letters of Paul. They're very Orthodox.
I do appreciate the Ignatius Study Bibles better, because they focus on the anagogical and historical elements of scripture more. The Navarre focuses more on the spiritual, i.e. "how can I apply what Jesus is saying to my own life?"
The only problem is that you can get Navarre Commentaries on every book of the Bible, and the Ignatius Study Bibles are only just now through Paul's writings. Hebrews, John's letters, Peter's letters, James, Jude, and Revelation is yet to be released.

Re: Navarre Study Bible?
Opus Dei scholars produce the Bibles, they are very orthodox. I highly recommend them. Their Old Testament version are awesome.

Re: Navarre Study Bible?
I only have the Gospels. I loned out my OT to a "friend" who never returned it and I never even read it through.
I love Opus Dei and support all of their efforts in the Church. They are amazing, and I think the "new Jesuits" of today.
Oh, do they support the traditional ........
Well, I dont know. I dont "use" my bible that way. I guess it is more on the spiritual side if one had to make a choice, again- I dont see how it would matter much as I am not trying to use my Bible for any agenda.

The "Gospels and Acts" volume, as well as the "Letters of St. Paul" volumes are not abridged, but do not contain the Latin transcriptions; it just has the text and commentary (I, for one, do not need the Latin). That is different from the single volume "New Testament," which is an abridgement of the commentaries.

The Gospels and Acts, and The Letters of St. Paul DO contain the Vulgate. The information listed on Amazon.com is incorrect.

Re: Navarre Study Bible?
I own recent printings (2002) of "Gospels and Acts" and "Letters of St. Paul," and these do not have the Vulgate, just text and all the commentary.

I own the ones on the Gospel of John, the Catholic epistles, and the book of Revelation. I also own the ones on the pentatuech, the Wisdom literature, and the Psalms. They are more for growing spiritually than gaining knowledge as someone mentioned above. They are very orthodox Catholic. From what I have heard or read the sacra pagina commentaries are very orthodox Catholic as well as the Collegeville commentaries.

The Ignatius bible covers the gospels too, or atleast the gospel according to John because I own that one.
