[ a bunch deleted about how "study bibles" are bad..] For the Catholic, the best study bible that I am aware of is "The Navarre Bible." Actually, only the four Gosples and Acts has been completed. On the top third of each page is the is the Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition [1965-66]. The next section of the page contains the official Latin translation of the Bible (the Vulgate), first translated by St. Jerome in the 300's using now-lost texts. The final part of each page contains insightful notes and commentary the verses presented. I highly recommend it. chris -- First comes the logo: C H E C K P O I N T T E C H N O L O G I E S / / \\ / / Then, the disclaimer: All expressed opinions are, indeed, opinions. \ / o Now for the witty part: I'm pink, therefore, I'm spam! \/
