Summary: A Very Good Study Bible Overall
Comment: The Catholic Study Bible is one of the best study bibles for students and scholars of biblical criticism. The biggest asset is the extensive Reading Guides which are very helpful for gaining a historical perspective and general background on all books of the bible. The New American Bible translation and footnotes are understandable enough, but this study bible lacks an important feature: an index or concordance. This study bible is recommended mainly for those in serious critical bible study, not normally for the mainstream Christian.
Rating: 3
Summary: retraction
Comment: I would like to retract the last 2 star review that I gave, it is somewhat excessive. I stand by my comments from the first review that I gave, and I would suggest that those interested in the Catholic Study Bible also consider purchasing the St. Joseph's Edition of the New American Bible instead. The Doctrinal Index and Dictionary are very helpful, while the information in the reading guides of the New American Bible can be obtained in an inexpensive introduction to the bible. The Catholic Study Bible is a fairly good edition of the Bible, unfortunately it lacks the excellent Doctrinal Index of the St. Joseph's Edition. Also, in some of the reading guides, there is perhaps, I slight tendency to overemphasis the distinction between the Bible as lived in the Church today and the bible in the history of the Tradition.

Summary: Very Offensive!
Comment: As a strict & passionate, but long-illeterite Christian, I have never before read the book on which my religion is founded. Finding this book at a tag sale at my local church, I decided to give it a try. I'm not sure if this Bible is the same Bible that all those priests and stuff keep talking about, but I'm sure that it's not! THIS Bible is filled with sex and violence... not the good Christian values that I have come to expect from the writings of my own religion! This is an outrage, and I demand that this Bible be taken off the market in favor of the REAL Bible!
P.S. If anyone knows where I can find a WHOLESOME Bible, please tell me. I've looked through the ones at my church and it appears that they're using the OFFENSIVE Bible, and not the REAL Bible! (perhaps they can't find the real one)
