We’ve gathered some of the best commentary from across the centuries:

  • Bishop Barron

    Bishop Barron is one of the most-followed Catholics in the world on social media. With over 1 million subscribers on YouTube and over half a million people reading his reflections on Scripture daily, he has a gift that allows him to reach atheists, non-Catholic Christians, and devout Catholics. Over the past 25 years, Bishop Barron has been considered to be one of the most intelligent, and accessible, preachers of the Gospel. We took the best of his commentary from his sermons and books to include in this Bible. 

  • Church Fathers

    Throughout the chapters, you’ll find commentary from the Church Fathers, the earliest Christian experts. Because many of the Church Fathers lived during or shortly after the time of the Apostles, these commentaries represent some of the oldest Christian writings in existence aside from the New Testament itself and carry the authority upon which the Church bases many teachings today.

  • Modern Experts

    Writings from contemporary artists, saints and scholars are interspersed throughout the text including great minds such as G.K. Chesterton, Flannery O’Connor, Fulton Sheen, Pope St. John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, and Pope Francis. These modern writers draw on 2,000 years of Church history and tradition along with their own biblical perspectives, all for the benefit of the reader seeking to better understand the Word of God.
