About this title

Synopsis

New larger format, featuring larger text size and additional margin space for personal annotations! The larger format enhances both individual and group study.

Based on the Revised Standard Version-Catholic Edition, this volume leads readers through a penetrating study of the Letters of St. James, St. Peter and St. Jude, using the biblical text itself and the Church's own guidelines for understanding the Bible. Ample notes accompany each page, providing fresh insights and commentary by renowned Bible teacher Curtis Mitch, as well as time-tested interpretations from the Fathers of the Church. These helpful study notes make explicit what the Letters of St. James, St. Peter and St. Jude often assume. Or they provide rich historical, cultural, geographical or theological information pertinent to the Letters--information that bridges the distance between the biblical world and our own.

The Ignatius Study Bible also includes Topical Essays, Word Studies and Charts. The Topical Essays explore the major themes of the Letters of St. James, St. Peter and St. Jude, often relating them to the doctrines of the Church. The Word Studies explain the background to important Bible terms, while the Charts summarize crucial biblical information at a glance.

Each page also includes an easy-to-use Cross-Reference Section that runs between the biblical text at the top of the page and the annotations at the bottom. Study Questions are provided for each Letter to deepen your personal study of God's Holy Word. There is also an introductory essay covering questions of authorship, date, destination, structure and themes.Outlines of the Letters and a map are also included.
