Thank you for the review I'm excited and can't wait for mine. Waiting in line for my order looks like I'm going to get mine in January. Looks like I'm going to get some bigger biceps for this one 😂 I love the cat.
I got mine already too. I was very disappointed with what they call the "leather bound" edition, which I see you have there. I am sending my Bible off to my regular book binder to have it redone in real blue leather over stiff heavy boards, with contrasting title labels and ribbon markers, and silk endpapers. The limp bonded leather version that they send is woefully inadequate to handle a large heavyish Bible like this. I want to have this bible for years and years to come. This binding is good for a year or two, if handled with extreme care. I've waited so long for this bible, another couple of months won't matter!
I'll find out soon, as the Bible is with my Binder now. He'll let me know, based on the work I am requesting. But full leather binding (as opposed to half leather etc) can be quite expensive. I am going to guess around $750 +/- for how I want mine done. But when done, this will be an heirloom Bible which can last for centuries if cared for properly.
@ sorry but i was talking to this fellow chap right here. I watched your unboxing video and you said you’ve ordered it through the ST.Paul’s center or Dr. Hann’s website(correct me if I’m wrong). Don’t take my response as an offense please
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 😢
Eagerly anticipating the arrival of my copy. Ordered in early October, hoping it ships soon. I enjoyed the attention seeker (cat). We took in two strays last winter and they have rekindled my fondness for their kind. Thanks for the video.
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. :)
@@myrnacarandang1470 it worth getting it available in Hardcover and Imitation Leather. I don’t know if they are putting it out in ebook or not. Hopefully they do.
Great review! I just ordered mine off Amazon--$79.95 as of 12/10/24 and that's a preorder price. It came to $85.55 with tax. I went for the blue bonded leather and it should nearly match my blue leather copy of St. Faustina's Diary. I do wish it had gilded edges and ribbons. I understand the pages are cream-colored, like the Magnificat and/or Liturgy of the Hours? That will be nice versus glaring white. For years I meant to order the Ignatius New Testament--glad I waited! PS: Love your cat! Thought I was watching Orthodox Review for a minute since his cat is virtually a co-star as well. Thank you and blessings!
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 RSV is my favorite translation. It unclutters the archaic grammar while retaining the poetic flow of Psalms and the other poetry books. I'd love to see the Orthodox Study Bible published in the RSV, although I can't see where this one wouldn't work well just for reading.
I ordered mine last month and was supposed to be here December 9th, now I’m being told it wont ship until 23 December… how is everyone getting theirs early?
@@oliverneftaliandradeayala8504 you try going to the Ignatius Press website and see if it says how to order there or email them. Or search online for how to order Bibles from Ignatius Press to Mexico. Those are the only things I can think of for an answer. I ordered mine through my Bible Study at church and I think they had a local Catholic bookstore order them or they were ordered from Ignatius Press directly for large group orders. I don’t know how people outside the US can order them.
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.
@ In fact, the Eastern Orthodox Churches in English speaking countries prefer the NKJV to the RSV, as do Pentecostals and many strict Evangelicals. The RSV and, now, the NRSV are, essentially, the current versions of the Authorised Version - the Church of England uses the NRSV. While the RSV does comply with the norms for Biblical translation set out by Pope Pius XII in 1943, and so, is acceptable as a “Catholic” Bible, it is, still, essentially a Protestant Bible translated in such a way as to be acceptable to the Catholic Church. In contrast, the Jerusalem Bible is a truly Catholic Bible, as is the Knox translation, of course. The official Bible of the. Catholic Church is, of course, the New Vulgate.
@@NeilTheCatholic not all Catholic Study Bibles are this expensive. I don’t know why this one is so expensive. There are Catholic publishers that have Study Bibles that are more affordable.
@@terrysbookandbiblereviews Some Catholic Bibles are usually always more expensive than Protestant ones where I am at. NABs for example are at the very least 3 times more expensive than the cheapest decent Prot Bible. Douay Rheims Bible are absolutely unaffordable the last I checked. There are other worthless liberal translations peddled here for less price in the Catholic book shops near me. NJB is the only decent Catholic Bible (the readers edition) that is locally printed and hence somewhat affordable. Assension Presents Bibles are also expensive but it's colour coded heavily so at least one can understand. Generally speaking, when it comes to pricing (or even making) quality Bibles - Catholic publishers are either greedy, or incompetent at it, in my opinion. This is definitely true for places like India where this Bible you are reviewing is printed. I don't know how Western Catholic publishers fare, but I stopped caring about them a long time ago. Fact is, Prots just beat us to the game. I wish they would reprice and get out more economical versions of the Great Adventure Bible. I have seen that happen once but I won't be holding my breath.
@ I live in the US and I don’t always buy Bibles brand new I sometimes find really awesome Bibles at thrift stores (people donate them to be resold and the money at most of them go to charity). I have seen brand new paperback NAB’s the translation read at Mass for about $10 or less on Amazon and they have some study notes not the best notes but they could help people a little bit. At thrift stores I have found those same bibles for a $1 or less. I have found Douay Rheims Bibles at thrift stores for a few bucks. There are also some online thrift stores too that I have found Bibles for a few dollars before S&H. It takes patience and a willingness to keep looking and the right Bible will come around for a reasonable price. The cost of everything is going up so it’s not likely the cost of any Bibles no matter the branch or denomination of Christianity they costing more for everyone and if the next US President has his way everything is going to go up a lot at least for a while anyway. I remember decades ago being able to buy two candy bars and a soda for a buck and now the same thing costs about nearly $5. Protestant Bibles are getting to be very expensive too a regular KJV from any of the big three publishers cost between $50-$60 for a basic Bible no notes or maps! Paperback Bibles now cost between $10 and $20+!
@terrysbookandbiblereviews I don't have used Bible store where I am at. The US is a different planet as far as most non Western Christians are concerned. Also, paperback Bibles as cheaper options for believing Christians is an affront to the distribution of God's word. They don't last. Likewise are the fake leather which are even worse for they are ridiculously priced. The hardbacks are the best bang for bucks in general for best compromise on longevity and price. Catholics don't carry their Bibles to church generally so we don't need the flexible cover.
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.”
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 🙏
