Thanks for the review! The new version does indeed have significant updates from the original New Testament version including additional essays and a larger doctrinal index in the full study Bible. God bless 🙏
The cat is interested in all the smells of the printing plant in India! He probably also wants to know if Baruch has the cat or the bat as the translation. :)
This is a very insightful video. I am surprised that this new complete bible edition does not have any bookmark, nor does it have the gold gilding as the earlier New Testament does. Thank you very much for doing this.
@ I have no idea. Monday I’ll contact the publisher and see if they know. If I find out I will mention it in my review video when I get that done sometime this coming week.
They're easy to add but still. At that price point I have seen some very nicely bound study Bibles like the ESV. I'm always a little disappointed in our Catholic counterparts 😢
Mine in the imi-leather is still in shipping! Looks great, cant wait im not that disappointed about no ribbons usually the ones u get are low quality. I’ll just add some navy blue ones.
The Authorised Version (“King James Bible”) is a Protestant Bible. This Study Bible does use a revision of the Authorised Version (the second edition of the RSV). So, yes, it is a “Protestant” Bible, but the study notes are Catholic.
@ The RSV is, nevertheless, a revision of the King James Bible - it is not, as you suggest, a new translation from the original texts. Apart from the use of modern English, it differs very little from the King James Bible, or the Revised Version of 1901 (the first revision of the King James Bible). By comparison, the Jerusalem Bible is a thoroughly Catholic translation.
@ I never said it is whole new translation. It’s a revision that was done both ecumenically and by an interfaith translation committee. Beginning with the 1966 Catholic Edition which was revised to meet Catholic standards of translation. The 2CE was further revised to meet Catholic Translation standards. As far as the KJV which is also a revision of both the Bishop’s Bible and the Geneva Bible was required by the King to be as close to the two versions as possible only making changes where those two versions made mistakes in translation and still be required to use the English of the Middle 1500’s. The original pitch the Puritans gave at the Hampton conference was for a brand new translation but the King instead decided to revise the two versions in an effort to bring some peace between the Church of England and the Puritans. The purpose of the RSV was to have a Bible version which was usable by Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, and an Old Testament version that could be used by some branches of Judaism.
The Bible is, of course, a “Protestant” Bible, since it is a revision of the Authorised Version (the King James Bible) - the second edition of the Revised Standard Version. However, the study notes are Catholic. So, it is a “Protestant” Bible with Catholic study notes.
@@Mark3ABE the RSV was translated by Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish translators making the RSV ecumenical and interfaith not Protestant (the earliest published editions were the Protestant canon a few years later the Catholic edition which has translation changes for Catholic use. After that an ecumenical edition was prepared for Orthodox Christian use).
@ All Protestants I have ever met would be in total agreement with you - no “ism” can save. “There is no other name on heaven or earth which can save apart from that of Jesus Christ.”
I am so excited for this bible! Thank you for the preview!
Can’t wait for mine 😃

Preordered mine a while ago just got a notification that it is nearby.. can’t wait!
I’m in the England and have preordered mine and can’t wait. My current study Bible is a bit battered. And P.S love the cat 😂
@@Carthusian1084 thank you. The Bible is worth the wait.
Really nice bible although i would like them to add some colors

@@mikehickey2572 yeah it surprises me too that there is not even one ribbon or two like on the NT and no gilding 🤷♂️

@ yeah Catholic Bibles should have better options.
Got this today and I was surprised how big it was. I put it next to my NKJ bible and it is just absolutely massive.
Can’t wait to get mine, need to wait until late December here in Scotland.
@@darrenwelsh2539 it will be worth the wait! It’s a really awesome Bible!!
I will pray that someday I can have one ....
Thanks for the overview. Looks like a great resource.
@@frtylermattson3310 so far it’s better than I expected, other than not having ribbons and gilding.
I think your Cat wants to be Baptized 😂
@@cat-ly8jb he probably needs to go through OCIA first 🐈
We cannot get a copy in the UK until early January 2025. At least we don't have another 26 years to wait! 😊

Amazing video mine won’t come in till December 22
@@xxrandmlinksxxbruh2419 I think you will enjoy it when comes.
How is this different from the Didache Bible?
@@apball1223 The Didache Bible has more quotes from the Catechism.
How many essays are there?
@@charlesbotensten more than 20.
How can I get a copy of it in India?
@@frsatyaprakash8479 contact Ascension Press they might be able to tell you how to order it.
I feel the urgency to get a new bible. I heard that the stonecutters would like to put in some changes to it to fit their agenda.
Was this protected with cellophane or the like?
@@bibdoylan like this.
@ did I like the right thing?
@@terrysbookandbiblereviews I’m confused…
@ it didn’t happen plastic wrap it was just as I show in the video.

It’s probably still impossible to understand
Catholic book not a Bible , leave it in the box
@@sandrahooley it’s a Catholic Study Bible. If it’s not the type of Bible you like that’s okay, find one you like.
