Summary: An excellent series
Comment: This is a great tool for understanding the Gospel of luke. The book starts off with an introduction explaining the inerrancy and the authority of scripture and the proper way of interpreting it. There are many helpful notes, word studies, and essays in this book. One of the essays is on Mary Ark of the covenant,another is on Jesus, the son of Man. The study questions in the back of the book are helpful for understanding and applying Gods word to our life. This whole series has helped me have a better understanding and a greater love for Gods word.

Summary: Catholic Bible Study Tool for Individuals or Groups
Comment: The Ignatius Catholic Study Bible is a great tool for small groups seeking to understand the Bible from a Catholic perspective.

This knowledge-packed, 82-page paperback, is composed of five major sections:
- Introduction to the Ignatius Study Bible
- Introduction to the Gospel according to Luke
- Outline of the Gospel According to Luke
- Gospel with Commentary by Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch
- Study Questions by Dennis Walters

The commentary includes historical background, with maps, and categorized notes. The notes have symbols next to them indicating whether they are:
- content and unity
- living tradition
- analogy of faith

The study questions are grouped by chapter, and then broken down into two sections per chapter: "For understanding" and "For application." The understanding questions are textual analysis questions. " The application questions are pertinent for the spiritual lives of Catholics. However, space was not provided within the questions themselves for notes. There are several notes pages at the end of the book, but white space was not allotted within the questions themselves.

Overall, the organization of this study guide makes it an effective tool for novices, and challenging for for more knowledgeable Catholics.

Summary: Helpful New Testament Aid for Catholics
Comment: Discussing scripture with my Protestant friends often leaves me at a loss because there are innumerable annotated and study bibles available to them, but few for Catholics. The Ignatius Study Catholic Study Bible series helps bridge this perceived gap. Of particular help are the frequent notes with symbols (e.g., a set of keys that stands for church tradition, a dove that stands for spiritual tradition, etc.) intended to help Catholics understand the correlation between scripture and the tenents of our faith. Of additional help are the occassional short essays on subjects found in Luke's gospel such as the Census of Quirinius (mentioned in the infancy narrative), the Pharisees and Sadducees that provide in-depth information that assist in gaining a better understanding of the evangelist's message. Also, there are study questions (which are pretty good) at the back of the book plus blank pages for note taking. A valuable resource for Catholics who wish to go beyond weekly homilies for an understanding of scripture.
