Which other study bibles and commentaries do you like to use? In addition to the ones Fr Columba mentions, we're fans of The Great Adventure Bible by Ascension Press and The Word on Fire Bibles.
Thank you for this Father! I started the The Bible in a Year w/ Fr. Mike. It helps to start there if you are intimidated by the bible. You realize it is God telling us his story, which is our story. Once you get that it is God telling us how much he loves you, studying the Bible becomes a real joy! 😍😍😍
@@mias392 Fr Mike is fantastic! Such a blessing to the Church.
@@christinastanley2944 Beautiful!
@@mias392 That's awesome! Ordered mine from Baronius Press today! Can't wait. 😀
I use Word on Fire
During my time in college, I discovered that as I researched I gained more insight by making it into a conversation. I would "pretend" that I was sitting at a table with these authors from hundreds of years ago drinking coffee. During these sessions of reading (and drinking coffee), I would simply have a conversation with them. I would question what I read and say something like, "good point, but according to this guy over here..." and so forth. I would then interject with my own thoughts. After a while, I would have my research papers written. My professor loved this idea when she discovered that I did this and said that she would recommend it to her future students. (Sorry for the long post). I think I will apply this when studying the Bible and commentaries. God Bless!!
Haha I love that, thanks for sharing Samantha :)
That's a grand suggestion, many might find that helpful.
You should read some of the Catena Aurea, the text followed by a variety of excerpts from Church Fathers. The format has always given me that feeling of sitting at a table listening to them go back and forth with each other.
"The Catholic Study Bible - New American Bible" also has very good commentaries...
Thanks for the video, love the sound effects
Thank you, Father - I just ordered the Ignatius bible. God bless you...
Exactly what I needed! God is good💛
Thank you for this video Fr Columba! Especially for what you said about having concerns about interpretation. I will remember this, 'so long as it's not contrary to charity and church teaching and other scripture then it's fine'. That's a big relief! :)
Thank you Father. This talk was most helpful. I have tried several times to read the Bible and always failed (the project got to be overwhelming for me). I like your approach. It makes sense and it breaks things down to bite size pieces! God Bless you. 😘
Thank you father for the awesome sound effects. I love them.😊🙏
Glad you like them!
This is why you are so interesting and what you say sticks in our mind.SIMPLE YES BUT AISO DEEP
YOU ARE GREAT FATHER THANK YOU
Thank you!
My personal favorite is the Jerusalem Study Bible (our of print). I bought the Ignatius Study Bible due to the respect I have for Ignatius Press and a few TH-cam recommendations. I found the text very readable. Unfortunately, the commentaries and notes didn't seem to add much. Many notes essentially re-iterated the text; other notes tried to inject theological debates that were not supported by the literal text; other notes seemed to be one side of an argument the editors were having with an unknown opponent. One useful note pointed out that in Romans, St Paul used the term "works" for ritual religious practices such as circumcision or animal sacrifices, unlike St James use of works to indicate works of mercy. This may be a good first study bible for Catholics beginning to read the scripture. Ignatus Press also publishes the Didache Bible with all the notes referring back to the Catholic Catechism. I wish Ignatius press would come out with a bible commentary on the Fathers interpretation of the scripture.
I have an app which has the commentary of the Haydock Bible, which is in print. The Haydock Bible uses the Douai Rheims translation. I've found the Haydock commentary to be useful.
I've deeply studied the Ignatius New Testament! Love it! I also cannot wait for the rest to be published!
I really enjoy your videos.
That’s great to hear, thank you. Very excited for the rest of the Ignatius Bible as well.
Thanks Fr Columba, As you said, there is so few Catholic study Bibles, our Protestant brothers and sisters are so lucky to the like of the ESV and NIV study bibles which have so much notes and details and pictures and diagrams. (The ICSB NT, the Navarre and the commentary on SS, that you reviewed is great) and so is the Didache Bible or the Little Rock study Bible. Again many thanks Father.
Very inspiring!😃
Thank you Father!😃🌸
You are very welcome!
Thank you. I have started to use the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible after your recommendation. It has been helpful in many ways. Once again thank you for your teaching and guidance.
Glad it was helpful!
Just what I need ! Thank you I need to break the ice !!!
Happy studying!
11:31 And Blessed Easter!
Christ is Risen!
I recommend the Great adventure: A Catholic Guide to the Old Testament book. So good! Along with the great adventure Bible. The way they break down the Bible into twelve color coded periods along with the Bible in a year with Father Mike is so good. I grew up catholic and in my forties now. It’s a shame it’s taken this long for the Bible to finally make sense, but a blessing to finally have a good Bible study program. I have the Ignatius New Testament study Bible and really enjoy it too. I’m also looking forward to an Ignatius Old Testament study bible. I hope they make one. Anyways, God bless!!!
Great recommendations.
I have the Ignatius Study Bible and love it. I just purchased The Catholic Study Bible Third Edition based on recommendation. I also take my own notes. I currently reading The Gospel of Luke.
Wonderful! Bless you in your studying of scripture.
Thank you for your videos.
You’re welcome.
Helpful Father, thank you so much ❤
You are very welcome
After watching your video I bought the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible New Testament and the whole Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture and wow! Thank you so much. I look forward to immerse myself in the word of God.
Wonderful, enjoy!
Thank you for your prayers Fr. Columba.
Thanks for watching, Loretta.
No problem
I did the Fr Mike podcast recently in 48 days I absolutely loved it 🙏❤️
That’s brilliant, Naomi!
Impressive! 148 days would be impressive, a major investment in time, 48 is almost 8 days in one!
@@MrCheesywaffles Thankyou. Some days I spent 5-6 hrs reading.
On the last day of my wife's RCIA class, our parish was giving away books. I couldn't believe that they had the Ignatius Study Bible! I also have it in my Verbum software. I have a few printed Navarre commentaries from the New Testament and have the entire Old Testament in verbum. You can markup verbum as much as you want and if you get tired of it, just delete the highlights.
My study of scripture is how I converted to Catholicism after being Presbyterian over 50 years.
How expensive is Verbum?
@@glennlanham6309
As cheap or as expensive as you want it to be. You can start off with the free version then add the paid versions or content you want. I started with the free Logos version and bought the NIV and nrsv when I was Protestant then after conversion, upgraded to Verbum and bought the Catholic Bible.
thank you a meaningful presentation
You are very welcome
I’d love to see a walkthrough of your own commentaries. I bought a Crossway ESV interleaved Bible to encourage myself to study the Bible more deeply, but to avoid perfectionism as a form of procrastination I’ve given myself permission to be messy with this Bible. Eventually, I’d like to keep a more neat version, but that’s a long ways off because I’m new to Bible study outside of children’s Sunday school. 😀
COVID lock downs was wonderful for us in many ways because we were forced to slow down and though the most NO churches closed their doors we found that the old rites churches didn’t, amazing how God works His ways and shows us the path of truth, anyway, we started to read the Bible with my husband on Sundays, and though I thought the Bible was complicated and full of symbolisms that wasn’t our experience at all, everything uncover before our eyes in a manner that we are surprised really, and the Bible is pretty literal actually, Jesus talks through parables but those are very easy to see what He is referring about, and then the OT is very straightforward, the problem I see now it is that Modernism is the one who has to conciliar the theory of Evolution or Darwin with Creation so there is when the “ symbolic part” start, trying to concise two different and opposite world views. Summarizing, OT very straightforward, the history of Creation and the Jew people as the first people who stayed faithful to God, or Al least they came back to the God of Abraham time to time, really they forgot God very fast. New Testament, the history and teachings of the Messiah or God incarnation in humanity. If it is something I found lacking in the Bible is that we don’t have more information of Jesus but as our priest said once, God provided the info we need to know not what we want per se. What gospel is the more significant to me? St John, he converted me, I cry still when I read him and in English, I needed to understand who is God in order to follow Him and then go deeper, and John did that to me, he gave the dimension of the Divine, it’s hard in a relativist world where all the supernatural phenomena is reduced to cristal stones and Reiki and we had lost sense of the Sacred and Divine world.
Just ordered the St.Ignatious Bible study tonight 🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
Thanks for listening.
Very interesting. I also like the Didache Bible by Ignatius Press as a study Bible.
Thank you. That was the first New Testament that I read
Thank you for the information. I've been looking for a Catholic study bible.
Glad it was helpful!
What a great idea to read a chapter every night... I like that idea ❤
I've been looking for a study bible, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Father yes you give us wonderful insights, I look forward to all the sound effects. It’s delightful!
Father I love your idea of how to study scripture. I often feel conflicted with focusing on the daily readings versus studying a particular book. For example Matthew will be the focus coming December. I would love to focus on his book. I’m wondering if I should focus just on that or the daily readings because I have to admit I only have so much time. If you have a comment I’d appreciate it, I also know you’re busy. Bless you, Father.😊
Hi Esther, thank you so much for your question. It’s Katie here, I work directly with Fr Columba and answer comments for him.
It’s a great question, and a tough one because it’s choosing between two great things. The honest and best answer is that it’s something you need to discern for yourself and possibly bring to a spiritual director, depending on where you are spiritually and what works best for you, but personally I think nothing can beat going through a book start to finish to really get the full picture. If that feeds your prayer then great, but if daily readings help you connect with God better then go with that.
Bless you and praying for you!
@@ctmcatholic Katie, How nice to hear from you. I don’t have a spiritual Director, they’re hard to find. But I appreciate your thoughts regarding my question.
It’s giving me something to think about. Thank you so very much.
As someone old enough to be your father, my love affair with the Holy Bible stretches well over a half century. As a teenager a half century ago, reading the Bible in a year did more for me than anything else. I just bought a new translation (for me) and am reading it cover to cover. It's rather like hearing a familiar symphony, only with a new orchestra and new conductor. Best wishes from a guy in Texas and may God bless you.
8:55 I can almost hear Zettelkasten ideas here… fantastic! Perhaps you can also talk about it in another video
Thanks for the suggestion James, we'll take a look into it!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your generosity! Sorry we didn’t catch this at the time. Bless you
Thank you for a great video. My bible is the Christian Community Bible, Catholic Pastoral edition, it also has loads of footnotes, I find it very handy.
Thanks father to help love Jesus ✝️🛐
I hope they release a compilation of their Old Testament study Bibles, similar to what they did with the New Testament. I would buy that the day it comes out.
That would be wonderful!
I have a bunch of protestant study Bibles but of course I'm missing books. And Father Mike Schmitz, Bible in a Year is the best thing ever!
Why don’t you have any Catholic ones?
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
I want to study and collect different Catholic Bibles 🤗❤💕💯
Late to the party here but I use the Didache Study Bible and love it!
Such wonderfully helpful guidance! Thank you Fr Columba! I do love the Bible in a Year and The Great Adventure Bible. Also the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture is great!
Glad it was helpful! Those are also great resources.
My current go-to for just reading scripture is the NRSV-CE. For deeper studying I've been using Catholic Publishing Company's St. Joseph Edition-- New Catholic Bible. Its Imprimatur and Nihil Obstat are from the Bishops Conference in the Philippines and Fr. Jude Winkler, OFM did major contributions to the book intros and notes.
Amazing, thanks for sharing 🙏
I also have the St. Joseph Edition “New Catholic Bible”. The notes are excellent, more “pastoral” and helpful for gaining spiritual insight. They contrast with the notes in the New American Bible which can be more “literary analysis” and less helpful in bringing the soul closer to God.
Douay Rheims Haydock. 100%
@@ctmcatholicHow are you getting to Heaven?
Katherine, those are the same 2 bibles I'm using!
I got a printed Douay-Rheims Bible with Rev. Haydock's comments in it. Beautiful. I hope to also get the Ignatius Bible when it comes out. I also have Cornelius a Lapide's commentary, it's just the gospels, but it's four volumes :) Basically it's a summary of the views of the Church fathers.
They sound great!
May I ask if father Haydock's bible is better than Ignatian or Navarre bible? Thanks
@@v.i.l.o. If you're asking me, unfortunately I don't know.
@@v.i.l.o. It's a million times better
If you can get your hands on a good facsimile copy of the 1582 Rheims New Testament (before the Challoner revision) you should. Amazing annotations as it was published in the middle of the Protestant Revolt.
I enjoyed Adrienne von Speyr's
Meditations on the Gospel of Mark. I found it prayerful.
Wonderful!
I have impatiently been waiting for years for the Ignatius complete Bible. That's the Bible I really really want! 😆
Looks like Fall 2024!
@@DerrickMims thank you for the reply. I'm so happy.
I have a collection Catholic Bibles at this point, but I have a Confession to make, lately Ive been reading the King James Version. I just SO love, and am inspired by all the "thee's" "thou's" and "thines!" Is this wrong ?
Here are some recommendations:
- Commentaries on the Gospels of St. Matthew and St. John; Pauline Commentaries; Old Testament Commentaries (by St. Thomas Aquinas, O.P. Volumes available through St. Paul Center in the U.S.)
- The Great Commentaries of Cornelius a Lapide (Old and New Testament Commentaries)
- Catena Aurea Gospel Commentaries (compiled by St. Thomas Aquinas, O.P. Concise sayings of the Church Fathers for the Gospels. Incomparable resource for Patristic Scriptural studies.)
- Commentary on St. John; Expositions on the Psalms (by St. Augustine - Nicene Church Father)
- Commentaries on St. Matthew; Acts; Romans; Minor Pauline Epistles (by St. John Chrysostom - Nicene Church Father)
- Old and New Testament Commentaries by St. Albert the Great, O.P.
These are among the best and most orthodox of Scriptural Commentaries. In particular, you can't go wrong with St. Thomas Aquinas' Commentaries.
I have many of these books and I agree! I will look into the St. Paul Center for these books. Thank you for this information!
@O.P. I also write in the margins when I see something I want to remember.
We all need to dive deeper into studying our Catholic faith and Scripture! Especially now in this crazy time!
@@Katy-Did Absolutely - from an orthodox perspective. Unfortunately, there are many contemporary Scriptural commentaries which contain heretical modernist material. It's best to return to the Patristic and Scholastic works approved by the Church, and written by brilliant saints.
@@veritas496 Amen! Where do you get the Great Commentary of Cornelius A Lapide?
I find these books interesting. Many thanks.
God bless you for making this video. I have several Bibles From NKJ, NIV, LV, Recovery Bible, and more; and they all have wonderful Intros, maps, book over views, helps, concordance, Inspirational guidance, and/or detailed study footnotes. I intend on getting a DR Bible and have wanted a good Catholic Study Bible with the words of the Lord in red, and with as much information as my protestant-based Bibles but I can’t find a good one. I’ve been all over the web, visited Catholic bookstores and just can’t find a decent study Bible. It is really sad. I’m resorting to RC bible overviews on YT. Yours is giving me a nibble.
Prova Giuseppe Ricciotti... È visibile pure su TH-cam,!!
Thank you dear Rev
Fr. for your great talk. I am using the king James Version.. I would like to buy The Ignatius Study Bible which have been recommended.
KJV is the wrong bible. The protestant heretics took books out.
The Douay Rheims is my favorite
It would be wonderful if an episode could be dedicated to the prayer of the church...The Divine Office. I'm just a lay person but I pray it every day.
We did a video on this a little while back, hope you enjoy! th-cam.com/video/znUPnOMCCFk/w-d-xo.html
Also the series Catholic commentary on sacred scripture
Hey I’m just new to all this study Bible I’m catholic but I really need a good study Bible to understand the word of the lord better any website to purchase that Bible
Rather listen to Little by Little as a podcast? Here you go: www.calledtomore.org/listen
I'm wishing I could afford this preferably as a PODCAST
Summarisations? Do you mean summaries? Still waiting for the complete OT edition of the Ignatius Study Bible in 2023. Will it ever come?
10:52 Could you share your notes on the genealogy in Luke 3?
Your small Bible looks like mine!!! Thinking of having cover replaced since it is so marked up! I wouldn’t want a new one and start over.
Good idea!
When will the Ignatius Study Bible get completed? (With the Old Testament completed)
🙏🏼
Thoughts on the didicade
Bishop Barron and Word on Fire 🔥 Haa beautiful Bible! 🙏 🤲
Pure io sul mio canale TH-cam 4 in tutto...
Question! I read the RSV version but wanted to study some more. I purchased a CSB version (she reads truth) for more in depth understanding with space to write but now I'm second guessing as I found out it is not a catholic version. I love the layout and details thus far but seeing as it's not catholic, is this a problem for me? Should I get a different one or is this OK to read? There are so many bibles it's hard to pick the right one.
You have to be wary of Protestant translations. She Reads Truth make beautiful study guides but just be aware that sacred tradition is lacking so a full understanding of the church and the Eucharist will be excluded.
There are some great Catholic study bibles out there.
@ctmcatholic thank you so much for the quick reply and sharing your knowledge! Although baptized Catholic I'm a year or so on my journey with the Lord and trying to navigate all the names/versions. Something told me to check and I'm incredibly grateful you had replied. Looks like I will be adding some of your recommendations to my list now.
Take care 🙏🤍
My CSB Bible is one of the very few Protestant translation bibles that I’ve kept. It’s better than many contemporary translations but I wish that they would make one with the Apocrypha.
The great commentary by Cornelius Lapide is probably the best in depth commentary. Loreto plans on doing a 30 volume complete series of it. For now there is a cheap Kindle version. Be sure to get the 1859 Haydock Bible as the later 1882 edition is censored for political correctness. I really like the commentaries you suggested but some are tainted by modernism. I still really enjoy the Ignacious and Navarre set.
Glad you found it helpful.
How can I get the 1859 haydock?
Word on fire bible. Fantastic
We love it!
Excellent Bible & Religious Reading And Ignatius Press is an Excellent Place to find Catholic Reading Also,I like gothic Churches I hope that is Not Contradictory to the Church also,I like Amazon to Purchase all kinds of things #godbless
It's now Easter 2024 and Ignatius Press still haven't finished the OT. It looks like it will be quite a few more years yet!
One day
is the Ignatius Study bible very different from the didache bible?
I believe so, the Ignatius Study Bible has commentary from Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch whereas the Didache Bible contains notes from the Didache. I haven't actually seen the DB in a while though so there could be more to it than that.
What is your opinion on Augustine Institute Bible in a year?
None of us have actually read that one - how have you found it?
I'm always curious, why do Christians focus on the new testament? I've just started attending church and I have met quite a few people that have never read the old testament but I really enjoyed it
They are both incredibly important and we should emphasise both! I suppose because the NT is about Jesus’ life it sometimes feels more relatable for people. But we can gain so much wisdom from both.
@@ctmcatholic Thank you for your response, I can't wait to learn more about the faith. Bless you!
Father, which version is your personal Bible (the one you turn into a mountain 😆)?
The well used one!
So sad to still see Ignatius hasn’t come through with the Old Testament yet in one volume. Still done in individual books.
One day!
Do you switch bibles often?
Do you ever read the O.S.B. Old Testament? Or LXX?
Not sure about Fr Columba, although I'm pretty sure he sticks to his old trusty RSV, but I (Edward) switch between the RSV, Douay and Knox translations quite regularly.
@@ctmcatholic , that's cool, I do the same, with ESV CE also. Gotta write Hail Full Of Grace in not Rheims and Knox.
I got Word of Fire, New Testament
The more I study the more I realize how little I realize just how little I know which tells me daily scriture reading is necessary.
One of the greatest achievements of learning is realising how much more there is to learn! Happy reading, Friend. :)
As I age the message speaks to my current need/concerns, what I understand is different after the army is diffrerent from birth of my handicapped son, is different from the birth of my other sons is differennt from the death of my wife. Always the same message.
Not specifically Roman Catholic, but a great ecumenical translation with academic commentary, includes all Catholic canon plus Orthodox: the Oxford Annotated NRSV with Apocrypha. The Oxford Bible Commentary is pretty great also.
Sounds interesting, thanks for suggesting!
It is less faithful though right? They have a reputation of being very critical. I haven’t read it I’m just wondering.
Not sure by your meaning of "faithful"... the translation itself is considered to be one of the most scholarly. the annotations and articles don't push a specific denominational or devotional agenda if that's what you might mean? They are academic and apart from doctrinal bias, which is partly what makes it objectively ecumenical. If one is looking for a more devotionally validating Bible there are plenty to choose from out there for sure. @@user-zo2ge3oe8d
Why are Catholic Bibles so expensive in comparison to protestant bibles? It is so frustrating.

Is it a sin to note take on your bible?
Not at all.
@@ctmcatholic I do under stand that there is a warning deut and revelation not to add and take away. I put a note in revelation to ponder at the wonder of what apostle John seen and heard. And intrigued about the 144,00 and if the multitude was more than the tribes of Israel. And put a smile emoji that hope of dwelling together with Jesus. It'd just my concince was bothering me, maybe not to note to add on scripture incase it was seen as adding or taking away
@@marymorris6329Mary, I mean this in no disrespect, but you show signs of scrupulosity. Unless you are adding or removing words from the biblical text itself, you are not sinning by adding notes to your Bible. Often times scribes have left notes or marks in the margins as it was copied. There’s nothing wrong with that.
I think you should speak to a priest if have more questions like this, perhaps your confessor can be your spiritual director. God bless.
10:10 And if a supposed Assumptionist Sébastien Antoni comes up with "Adam and Eve were not two real people" we definitely have a problem.
Trent Session V.
Why would I want a version of the bible that has a bias toward their own religion? - let alone a "Catholic Commentary?"
Np. all you need do is get rid of Bergoglio.
Will there be time to read secular books? Say like 19th cent. romantic literature? I mean you can’t just keep reading the bible over and over again, if you really want to be an educated person?
Che alla fine... è sempre la stessa, escono tutte dalla Vulgata... e le case editrici fanno i soldi🤑💸💵💴💶💰💳!!
Thanks Father. I tried to buy a Bible the other day for a young man aspiring to to to our Faith. A quick glance at the $~100.00 Bible I got for him ( a Catholic Bible no less) and it had Woke text embedded in it.
Sad.
That is disappointing! Hope this list can help.
Perhaps I’m being too sensitive. The verse I opened the good book to, I thought should have said, “I will make you fishers of men.”
The verse said, “I will make you fishers of people.”
I get the new version’s modern point, but still….
@@ChrisGBakerI don’t necessarily think that’s a sign of wokeness, although I agree with you and would have preferred “men” with a footnote.
I used the free Bible Hub app/site to look up the original Greek word (first in the inter linear Bible to find the word, and then the word itself in their concordance). Here’s what it said, in case anyone else is newer on their journey:
“anthrópos: a man, human, mankind
Original Word: ἄνθρωπος, ου, ὁ
Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine
Transliteration: anthrópos
Phonetic Spelling: (anth'-ro-pos)
Definition: a man, human, mankind
Usage: a man, one of the human race.”
To many ads. 6 ads in the first 2 minutes?
Unfortunately we have no control of that anymore.
TH-cam started including ads even on demonetized videos - they really seem to be trying to push people to premium subscriptions.
If you don't have a relationship with Jesus then your final destination will be the lake of fire.
So what's wrong with the King James or the New King James what is the difference its the Gospel of Jesus Christ its not the Gospel of a Religion
I really begin liking your show until you go cooky. I don’t know, I guess I feel that most of the subject matters today in our Church need to be taken a bit more seriously. I know, I know, what’s wrong with a little laughter and silliness? Nothing except that I find it distracting. That’s all. Other than that, love you and the show.
Some commentary isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.
Thank you Father for Ignatius tip.
You’re welcome
I'm not willing to sit through three minutes of unskippable commercials, most of which are offensive, to watch an eleven-minute video.
Hi Edgar, thank you so much for raising this. We have always made our ads skippable but unfortunately TH-cam changed the rules lately and we are no longer able to control this, TH-cam controls this now. Unfortunately the only way to avoid ads on TH-cam is to pay the monthly membership fee for TH-cam premium.
