A review of the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible New Testament (ISBN 9781586174842). This volume is a large footprint sewn hardback with a large attractive font. The paper is thick and ghosting is nearly nonexistent. Footnotes and essays make frequent mention of the Council of Trent and reflect orthodox Catholic theology. A large "concise" concordance is included, as are seven color maps.
