Catholic Study Bible Notes, 3rd Edition is drawn from the notes and reference material of the Catholic Study Bible. Since its publication in 1990, numerous laypersons and clergy have benefited from this resource's explanation of the historical and theological dimensions of the Bible.
In this third edition, updated by the original authors, the Oxford general and introductory articles, notes, and expanded essays lead the reader through the scriptures, book by book, with references and background information.
This edition also includes:
- A Glossary with biblical and early church names, topics, and special terms
- Complete Sunday and weekday lectionary readings for the liturgical years of the Church.
- Index to the Reading Guide
- Charts, Maps
- Timelines
- Weights and Measures
The commentary works very well with the New Revised Standard Version and the New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABre) (both sold separately).
