Catholic bible commentary

[Hoonbaba]

Hi guys,

Here's a few quick question:  What're some good Catholic bible commentaries?

I know of the New Jerome Biblical Commentary.  Anyone know of any others?

Also, what about concordances (which would include the deuterocanonicals)?

And what's a really good Catholic study bible (again, including the deuterocanonicals).

I suddenly have an interest in the deuterocanonicals =)

God bless!

The St. Joseph Edition New American Bible has very good notes. There is also the New American Bible Catholic Study Edition which has good notes as well.

Concordances, good luck. I myself favor Protestant concordances, because there are few Catholic ones that amount to much, I'm afraid.....

To Jason:

I have the Catholic Study Bible, and I love it. The spine is busted, it opens at the Psalms, and the pages are dogeared. It's a REAL Bible, LOL!


Peace,

Hey Wols,

I just stumbled upon a few concordances that include the deuterocanonicals.  Are you aware of these?  By the way, I found them on this page:

The Collegeville Bible Commentary series (Liturgical Press). You can either buy the OT and NT compilations or you can buy the commentary (total cost runs around $60) for each book of the Bible individually (each one is about $4-$5 apiece). This is the Bible Commentary series that I use most often.

If you liked the Revelations I sent you from the Navarre Series, they have the rest of the NT, and the first five books of the OT, thus far, too. The Navarre Biblical Commentaries are great, in my opinion.

God Bless,

Neal

Hey Neal,

Do they have an entire commentary of all the books as one reference book?

By the way, that book you sent me is good stuff

I like the New Interpreter's Bible. Unfortunately a complete set would be quite expensive (around $500). I read them a lot in college when I could take them out of the library for a whole semester.

I want a good electronic copy of an interpreter's Bible. Concordance? Who needs it, we have software.

I actually have an HTML King James I use sometimes.
