ICSB Genesis Now Available!

According to Ignatius Insight Scoop, the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible: The Book of Genesis is in-stock and available for order. There is also a sample page from Genesis 13 for your viewing pleasure. The sale price on the Ignatius site is $8.46. Let's hope we see more of the Old Testament volumes published this year. How about a complete, one volume Ignatius Catholic Study Bible in 2015?

Francesco said...: This is good news. I'm not sure I'd want a single volume for the entire ICSB - it would have weigh a ton! Separate volumes for the Pentateuch, Historical, Prophetic, and Sapiential books would themselves be pretty big, if there are as many notes as there are in the New Testament.; January 6, 2011 at 9:24 AM

I am guessing that they are going to have to reformat or at least reduce the print size in order to make the entire study Bible fit in one volume. It really needs to be a one volume study Bible, IMHO.; January 6, 2011 at 10:32 AM
Francesco said...: I agree that if its going to be used in school settings, having a single volume is essential. I just don't see how they do it without cutting down on the notes. Do you think they'd ever come out with an abridged version?; January 6, 2011 at 4:03 PM

The isuue seems to be formating, font choices, paper selection and binding / production issues. For example the NLT commissioned a new font designed to fit 10% more text on a page. So- I believe a single volume ICSB is very workable.

I agree with you 100%. It is all about how they format. The ESV SB has a ton more info than the ICSB.; January 7, 2011 at 4:00 AM

Prayer of Thomas Merton

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always, though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
