Which brings me to the question I seem to get more often than any other: Which Bible should I use? Ever since Vatican II, interest in Scripture has been growing as Catholics answer the call to make reading the Bible — not just listening at Mass — a part of their lives: “The Church forcefully and specially exhorts all the Christian faithful … to lea...
A well-bound, leather Bible can last a lifetime. Or at least a couple of decades if you read it all the time, and you can have it re-bound then if you need to. Invest in one for reading that you can take with you in the car, to mass, on the airplane. E-versions are okay in a pinch, but you’ll find that the more time you spend in an “actual” Bible, ...
The first Bible class I took in college, the professor told us to buy a new Bible to use for class.

- Translation philosophy. Since the ESV-CE is a word-for-word, “essentially literal” translation, it is well-suited to detailed study. You can dive deep in any passage and trust that you are looking at a translation that is trying to deliver as much meaning as possible from the original languages into English.

Apr 19, 2022 · The SPCK edition is line-matched, so the ghosting should be slightly improved over the Augustine Bible. Incidentally, the chapter numbers are enormous in the SPCK edition.
