St. Paul and the Sacraments of the Catholic Church 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Father Mitch Pacwa, Jesuit priest and popular host of programs on EWTN television, invites you to immerse yourself in the writings of St. Paul and discover their relevance nearly two thousand years later. Fr. Pacwa explores the central teachings of the Catholic Church, most specifically those associated with six of the seven sacraments, in this easy-to-follow book.

The format is exceptionally inviting whether you are reading alone or as part of a Bible Study group. In each of the six chapters, the reader is given points to consider, related Biblical references to investigate, several pages of easy-to-read yet scholarly information, discussion questions, and a goal to practice as a conscious effort to live the type of life St. Paul did, bold and creative in today's challenging society.

I was fortunate to be able to attend six sessions, one on each chapter, given by Father Pacwa himself. It was a tremendous blessing to be able to hear him expound on the many Pauline themes he outlined in the book, all guideposts for personal growth through the writings of the apostle Paul.

Editorial Review:

Immerse yourself in the person of the Apostle Paul--heroic in his martyr's death--but so recognizably human in his conversion story and subsequent letters to the faithful. Gain fresh insights into your own personal growth potential through the Scripture of St. Paul:
What does Paul's conversion have to teach me about how power is perfected through my weaknesses?
How does his experience as an apostle of Christ teach me about responding to my own vocation in life?
How might I apply St. Paul's bold and creative approach to challenging today's cultural and social status quo?
In what ways might I imitate his care and concern for the world?
Whether you use this guide for personal study, interactive journaling, or study with a group, you will find its format concise and easy to follow. Self-assessment charts invite you to test your knowledge of biblical passages, helping you retain what you learn.

Small-Print Bible 2 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I'm very sorry I purchased this "Archaeological Bible". It's very interesting to look at, but impossible to read -- at least, for me. The type is quite small, and my 66-year-old eyes can't handle it. I can understand the reason they did this; with all the sidebars and footnotes, the thing would have been a foot thick in normal-size print. But what's the use in having all this information if you can't read it? I've given up and gone back to my Oxford Annotated Study Bible for my studies.

perfect gift 5 out of 5 stars.

i ordered this bible as a birthday gift for my mother. it arrived promptly, was in even better condition than i had expected, and mom loves it. thank you for great service!

Unsure 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Ok, so I am debating about whether to buy this study Bible or not. Maybe somebody can help me out. My concern is that the field of archaeology develops and changes so quickly that by the time something like this is printed it is already out of date. Could someone help me out here? What are the real advantages?

Editorial Review:

A unique study Bible filled with informative articles and full-color photographs that will take you on an illustrated walk through biblical history and culture.

The NIV is not a Bible just for dummies 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

The New International Version is the most readable English translation ever produced. And if that doesn't make it a "Good Book," then I don't know what does!

Granted, I still prefer to read God's Word in the original tongues, not in a modern translation. (I've got nothing against the watered-down English versions sold today in Bible bookstores, but the ancient biblical scrolls are just a whole lot funnier.)

Most people these days cannot do that: they cannot read Scripture as it was first intended by the Author. Not to worry: Bible translators have saved you a headache and you can thank God for them. Many of the holy Ghost's original sentences are so ungrammatical and awkwardly constructed, and others so unintelligible, that the translators for Zondervan Corp and these other big Bible companies have graciously re-written the text so as to enhance Scripture's appeal to the 21st-century reader. And in the N.I.V. more than in any other, those scholars have done a truly wonderful job of tidying up.

If you prefer an English Bible that is halfway faithful to the original, then read the Authorised Version, better known in America as "the King James Version." The KJV/Authorised Version also has the most authentic prose style, with thee and thou and hath and dost and verily, which is how God actually talks, albeit in Hebrew. ([...]

But if it's a highly readable New Age paraphrase of the Bible you want, and if you cannot decide between the eighteen leading options in your local bookstore or on BibleGateway.com, then allow me to recommend Zondervan's "New International Version" (NIV). Here, at last, is an English-language Bible in which all obscenities and difficult words have been euphemised; God's curses, tempered, and His personality, softened; all theological conundrums, solved; all contradictions, removed; and all the howlers, corrected - which is also why the NIV is ideal for the younger generation, grades five and below.

Here's another thing you will love about Zondervan's New International Version: it is reader-friendly. The NIV makes the Lord sound like an affable American football coach, but with His bad words deleted, such as "piss" (Hebrew shathan) which is a word that God, in the Authorised Version, uses quite a bit (but only when He is angry, e.g., 1 Sam. 25:22, 1 Sam. 25:34, 1 Kings 14:10, 16:11, 21:21, 2 Kings 9:8).

And how's this for a major improvement? Almost every place that the word "Hell" appears in the Authorised Version, the NIV substitutes "the grave" or "the realm of the dead." (Where would you rather spend eternity - in "Hell," or in "the realm of the dead"?)

Then, too, in the NIV, every instance of the word, "Ghost" has been eliminated, and not just the holy one. ("Why should we scare people?" That's Zondervan's policy. "We're marketing Christ the King, not Stephen King! And if you can't tell the difference between those two, well then! - Don't blame us, but you can expect a warm welcome, someday, when you die and your aura gets sent forever to the realm of the dead!")

This book is very well written for young,independent readers. I really like the information printed on the margins as well as the content, maps, etc. I highly recommend this study Bible to anyone who wants a deeper understand of God's word.

Very Insightful 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

In the past I have often been confused by the parables and some of the teachings spoken by Jesus Christ in the four gospels. The NIV Bible explains them very carefully by asking questions which allow the reader to understand what Jesus means. For example, in the book of Matthew Jesus teaches by saying "Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven." I had always been confused by this, but this bible gives this explanation "The Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are poor in spirit. Those who recognize their spiritual poverty and see their need for God's help"

This is only one example of the many ways in which the Quest Bible helped to make God's word easier to comprehend for me. I trust that it will do the same for you :)

Editorial Review:

The pace-setting Quest question-and-answer Bible is like no other—and now this revised and expanded edition assists your journey to the meaning and heart of the Scripture even more effectively.

Excellent value! 5 out of 5 stars.

This is the 3rd of these that I have purchased. I got one for myself, 2 for 2 of my daughters, and we are all very happy with them. The type is very easy to read, the intros and footnotes are informative and I find it to be very sturdy, as well, as it gets carried around quite a bit. The price is excellent for a Bible of this quality.

Study Bible: Great quality 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

The Bible is well-made, and well bound. The study helps are comprehensive, and the best I've used. Background and historical information is helpful, and notes on translation variations are illuminating.Recommended for anyone wanting to study the Bible without a lot of extra books out at the same time. It doesn't completely eliminate the usefulness of a Bible dictionary or encyclopedia, but for the average reader who wants to get a full sense of the meanings of the texts without getting bogged down in other resources and commentaries, it's a great choice.

I bought this Bible for a graduation gift and I was impressed with its clear type and organization. (I had been concerned about the type size beforehand but it is really easy to view).

Upon receiving the item I was simply elated and so impressed with the fact that I PAID for a USED item and it was nicely secured and sent to me in BRAND NEW CONDITION in its original packaging! Thank you, thank you, Thank you!! I will definitely make note of this seller and look to purchase from them in future orders!! Exceptional Service!! Thanks again!! Wonderful!!! Oh! And the product itself is everything I hoped and prayed for! It makes my study and reflection time so much easier and enjoyable. It also makes for a much deeper understanding of the Word without using multiple bibles at once.

The Comparative Study Bible takes the complete texts of four popular Bibles, each acclaimed for its distinctive translational features, and sets them side-by-side for fast, easy comparison. And now, this revised version offers important updates that make it more useful than ever.

Great place to start 4 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

Rick Warren does a great job of reviewing basic methods one will need to study the bible. In my humble opinion this is a great resource for the money. Here is how it's set up.

He previews how materials you will need, and how different study resources are used. He also tells you which ones are considered some of the strongest.

He gives you a preview of the 12 bible study methods and then goes into each more in depth. The 12 bible study methods are: The Devotional Method, Chapter Summary Method, Character Quality Method, The Thematic Method, The Biographical Method, The topical Method, the Word Study Method, Book Background Method, Book Survey Method, Chapter Analysis Method, Book Synthesis Method, and the Verse By Verse Analysis Method.

He also has 7 appendices in the back. These appendices are to aid you in what you just learned. He also has a list of other bible study books in the back for further learning.

In Conclusion, I feel this is a good book to learn various methods for personal bible study. The book is inexpensive (I got it for less than ten dollars), detailed, it teaches you what you will need and why, and gives you the keys to applying these various methods. I give it four stars because it is not as detailed as it could have been. However, if your looking to dig deeper he shows you which books to go to. This is a 4 and a half star purchase in my humble opinion.

Presents a decidedly liberal theological perspective 1 out of 5 stars.
21 of 32 people found this review helpful.

The Bible commentaries are written from a liberal theological perspective. It is obvious that the authors believe the Bible is just a product of ancient myths and storytelling. They disbelieve miracles and explain away prophecy by assigning late dates to the books. The notes put forth theories that are based upon opinion and conjecture rather than solid textual evidence. More a work of anti-Christian and anti-Jewish propaganda than a balanced, scholarly work. Also, while it is not a bad translation, the NRSV does have some gender-neutrality inserted into it. All in all, I cannot recommend this study Bible. It reads like skeptics and non-believers wrote it. Instead, I would recommend the NIV Study Bible or NKJV Study Bible.

Breath of Fresh Air 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 10 people found this review helpful.

I had recently been looking for a Study Bible that would be challenging and faith affirming to my walk. I made the mistake of purchasing the Apolgetics Study Bible and found myself questioning how Christianity could possibly survive when fodder like that is what we are presenting to a non-Christian world. When I was directed towards this study bible I found that finally there are biblical scholars who deeply care about what a text actually means, not so much about conforming the text to pre-conceived ideas. So far my reading has been enjoyable and enlightening and I'm looking forward to continuing my study. I highly recommend this study bible.

Editorial Review:

The Second Vatican Council's call for biblical renewal in every aspect of Catholic life revealed the need for a key to the Scriptures that would communicate their power by means of modern scholarship. The Catholic Study Bible addressed this crucial need. It has been widely accepted for use by advanced students, who have benefited from its wealth of background information on the historical, literary, and theological dimensions of the Bible.

The Second Edition of this landmark resource has been significantly upgraded. The study notes have been completely rewritten, and there are new and expanded essays and sidebars on special topics in the study materials and biblical text.

The heart of this edition's ancillary materials remains its extensive Reading Guide that leads the reader through the Scriptures, book by book. Clear marginal references in the biblical text point to specific pages in the Reading Guide, easing the retrieval of important background information.
A 15-page Glossary defines biblical terms with which students may not be familiar. Also included is a handy 72-page selective concordance (index) to the New American Bible translation. This resource is a valuable aid to in-depth Scripture study (not available in the College Edition). Also included: the complete Sunday and weekday lectionary readings for all three liturgical years of the Church, plus 32 pages of authoritative, full-color Oxford Bible Maps with place-name index.
