Oxford University Press The New American Catholic Study Bible, Second Edition
The hardcover edition of this landmark resource, now available in the NABRE translation, contains all the authoritative study notes, expanded essays, and informational sidebars for which it is known and trusted. The heart of this volume remains its extensive Reading Guide that leads the reader through the Scriptures, book by book. References and background information are clearly laid out in the margins of the text, guiding the reader to a fuller understanding of the Bible.
Other outstanding features include: a 15-page glossary of special terms, complete Sunday and weekday lectionary readings for the liturgical years of the Church. 32 beautiful pages of full-color Oxford Bible Maps come with a place-name index for easy reference.
Printed on smooth, durable paper and bound with the highest quality materials, the Catholic Study Bible is an incredible value. It is available in three attractive and affordable bindings: black bonded leather, hardcover, and paperback.
The New American Bible Revised Edition:
The New American Bible Revised Edition (NABRE) brings to culmination the work of nearly 100 scholars, including translators, editors, and a subcommittee of Catholic bishops who provided extensive review of the biblical text over a period of many years. The NABRE is the first major amendment to the New American Bible translation since 1991. It features: *The first update of the Old Testament since 1970, taking into account recent archaeological and textual discoveries. *A complete revision of the Psalter.

I have study bibles such as Ryrie and Scofield and I thought it would be good to enlarge my study with a view from another denomination. The actual translation used and style appeared more like a novel than a bible. The footnotes (for lack of a better term) references etc., seemed vague at times. It may be a good starter Bible for the denomination it is intended for but not for those who study the word as their final authority in faith and belief.

A great study bible! I use the Holman NIV commentary set, crossway ESV study bible, and MacArthur commentary set, and several other study bibles as I study the word. These books are compelling me, for the first time in my life; with an enthusiasm for reading the word of God (this was hindered in the past due to my inability to interpret some scripture). I am EXTREMELY grateful for the blessings that that these texts provide, i.e., in-depth and understandable analysis, contemporary language (as opposed to Calvin, Poole, Henry, etc.), supporting scripture, etc.
How I would rank my study bibles (based solely on my opinion of the quality and depth exegesis/analysis):
1. Crossway ESV study bible
2. John Macarthur NASB study bible
3. Zondervan NASB study bible
4. Ligonier Ministries ESV Reform study bible
5. NAB Catholic study bible (sparse exegesis)
6. RSV Ignatius Catholic Study Bible New Testament (in my opinion, Hahn erroneously interprets the scripture).

6. RSV Ignatius Catholic Study Bible New Testament (in my opinion, Hahn erroneously interprets the scripture).
Also, if you can afford the MacArthur New Testament commentary set and Holman NIV New Testament commentary set, then I would also highly recommend them for a more in-depth exegesis/analysis.

After waiting many weeks for delivery I was excited to see that it had shipped. It was to be a replacement for my 1980's vintage Jerome Catholic Bible.
Several front pages rumples. That is livable, don't use those pages much anymore.
Cross references are minimal. Maybe equivalent to the old Bible, maybe not.
My wife had a Zondervan bible, the study version. It is now about five years old and the new one is scheduled to ship soon. I had expected the study materials to be equivalent to the Zondervan, NOT! In neither quality or quantity is the NAB Study Bible up to the standards set by the Zondervan study bible.
On the plus side the Archaeology section is good and there are several insightful subsections in that portion. The introductions to the books of the bible are also good, but not exceptional.
The new translation of the Old Testament is readable. In some places it offers quite different translations and versing in some sections. For example, the psalms take on a different meaning when versing and wording is changes only minimally in some sections (chapters). Basic data points such as family trees, chronological sequences, The Law (Pentateuch) and similar areas compare almost identically with the older St. Jerome.
We have two other Study Bibles on hand that I would recommend as better than the NAB and I have a third on order. The NAB although newer than the others will be relegated to third or fourth reference on the shelf. Sorry NAB.
Overall, I am happy with the actual translations and the readability of the new NAB Bible. I would quickly recommend the basic Bible to a friend. On the other hand, I am very disappointed in the supplemental materials and somewhat disappointed in the cross referencing.
I hope this helps anyone considering a purchase of the NAB Study Bible. The Bible is good the study materials not so.
