NABRE LITTLE ROCK CATHOLIC BIBLE - 9780814636480

The Little Rock Catholic Study Bible is a complete Catholic study Bible in the New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE), including the deuterocanonical books. It is produced by Little Rock Scripture Study, a ministry of the Diocese of Little Rock, in partnership with Liturgical Press. Its study notes, essays, and color maps, timelines, photographs, and charts are written in accessible language, with symbols marking each type of note so readers can find what they need quickly. It is designed for personal study and for parish Bible study groups, especially readers who want study helps in clear, everyday language.

Short notes and inserts run alongside the biblical text. Each is marked with a key symbol: explanations, definitions, dates, character and author profiles, archaeological insights, personal prayer starters, and insights connecting Scripture with its use in the Church today. Longer articles explain the basics of using a study Bible, how the Catholic Church uses the Bible, and the people and places of the biblical world. The general editor is Catherine Upchurch of Little Rock Scripture Study. The Old Testament editor is Irene Nowell, OSB, and the New Testament editor is Ronald D. Witherup, SS. At 2,626 pages and just over 4 pounds, this hardcover with dust cover is sized for desk and group-study use.

Use & care: Suited to personal Scripture study and prayer, and to parish Bible study groups where members can follow the same notes and articles together. Keep the dust cover on when carrying or shelving it to protect the hardcover, and given its weight, support the full book when opening it and store it flat or upright on a sturdy shelf.
