Editorial Reviews

"Once a generation a truly unique Bible tool is given to the Church. The Ignatius Study Bible is a gift for our generation. This is the most important book since the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Every parish study group and every student of Sacred Scripture should own and use this Bible."
- David Currie Author, Born Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic

"This Bible study is a triumph both of piety and scholarship, in the best Catholic tradition: simply the most useful succinct commentary that any Christian or other interested person could hope for."
-Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis, Author Fire of Mercy, Heart of the Word

"With copious historical and theological notes, incisive commentary and tools for study, Exodus come alive in their historical setting and contemporary application. The wisdom of the Fathers and the teaching of the church illuminate its every page. Hahn and Mitch have done much of the work for us. Unabashedly Catholic, this series will assist the scholar as well as the beginner to Bible study."
