The Catholic Study Bible: New American Bible

Rating:
Summary: orthodoxy questionable
Review: This Study Bible does not present Catholic teaching well and views the Bible from more of a modernist perspective. The NAB is a rather loose translation and has some strong defects. There are different authors for the reading guides to each book of the Bible. Some of the guides are sound. Others, however, seem to deny the historicity of the Bible. Modern liberal interpretations and datings are presented as facts, even on points where there is much debate. I would not recommend this book to any Catholic. The best translation out there is the RSV-CE, otherwise known as the Ignatian Bible, and I would suggest the Navarre Bible commentary series to any Catholic interested in getting to know GOD's word better.
