Being a recent convert to the Catholic faith, I have been verbally attacked numerous times (not surprisingly) by our non-Catholic brothers and sister on my Faith and sadly it will contine. Because of this I needed an easy, carry-around-wherever-you-go resource of my Faith to defend and explain her and that is where the New Catholic Answer Bible came in. It is a wonderful book! It is the standard New American Bible version but with apologetic articles on countless subjects in between its pages. The articles are plentiful; 88 in all (compared to the original Catholic Answer Bible which had about 44) and they are short and direct to the point in explaining what Catholics believe and why! Many questions from "Why Tradtion?" to "Why Is Contraception A Sin?" makes this Bible a junior apologist's dream! Every Roman Catholic should know and be ready to defend their faith PROPERLY and this Bible will help you do that.

If you are looking for an official Catholic Bible translation and want handy apologetic explanations to defend your faith, The New Catholic Answer Bible is a blessed and rewarding choice.

Every Catholic should have a copy of this wounderful Bible .Gives you a biblical foundation for your Catholic faith . I live in the bible belt where Catholics are few and are oftened challenged about the Catholic Church and its teachings .The New Catholic Answer Bible will increase your knowledge of the bible and Catholic faith .

We as Catholic Christians face the most unique times of the twenty-first century. This remarkable study bible answers many questions that many have asked about the ancient faith founded by Jesus Christ. This is rich in not only Biblical proofs but also proofs from the Catechism itself. This reinforces the ancient practice of Holy Scripture and the Holy Tradition of the Apostles as the twin pillers of the faith. As a Catholic Christian, I feel blessed by this Marvelous work and a Wonder.

This is a must have version of the Bible for new or practicing Catholics. It is rich in its apologetic information and provides a history of written scripture that is invaluable.

This Bible is perfect for all ages. It gives complete doctrines and understanding of our Catholic faith. I am a convert to the church for 4 years now, and this Bible has been a inspiration to me. I reccomend that you purchase Catholicism for Dummies as a companion to your studies.
Thank the Lord for the Holy Catholic Church & The Blessed Eucharist!

This Bible is great! I like the way that it answers common misconceptions of the Catholic Faith. A must for all Catholics!

Although I grew up in a predominantly Catholic area (southwest Louisiana), I was raised Baptist and often felt that Catholics were odd or completely wrong in their belief system. As I grew older, I began to investigate different faiths in order to find the one I belonged to. In the end, though, I was called home to the Catholic Church and came into full communion with it in 2000. Naturally, I began to receive a ton of questions, answers, attacks and misinformation from multiple Protestant sources, including some who were friends or family. I began to research my newfound faith with much zeal in order to defend it properly. As the years passed, my family and friends (the ones that hadn't given up on me) grew to accept me as a Catholic. Still, I often run into questions from them that I can't immediately answer. Thanks to the New Catholic Answer Bible, I now have a ready resource to reply to them with.

Containing the New American translation of the Catholic Bible, this answer Bible offers brief sections every few pages that explains certain Catholic beliefs with Biblical references. The beliefs range from the papacy to baptism and everything in between.

Solid Biblical references are the only true defense of the faith when talking to Protestants in my opinion, especially since the majority of them rely on no other source for their own beliefs. Referring to Catholic Tradition or the catechism usually doesn't work. Luckily, this book provides proof that can be found in the books of the Protestant Bible as well as the Catholic one.

If you're just beginning to study the Catholic faith, the New Catholic Answer Bible is an excellent, quick and handy resource. I also recommend books by apologists such as Scott Hahn, Karl Keating and Patrick Madrid as well as the wonderful "Why Do Catholics Do That?" by Kevin Orlin Johnson.

I love these books they do give someone a clear outlook on what's the truth and what is not.
I am Catholic, and I have been all my life. These books makes what was hard to understand and brings it to light.
They are full of understandable material that people of all ages can understand.

I actually have the first version of this Bible and I think the biggest difference is the number of inserts, so my review applies here. My biggest criticism is that, after having had it for several years and using it extensively, the binding started falling apart. I'm going to try the leather bound for my daughter. I prefer the RSV version, but that one doesn't have footnotes. I've been happy with the footnotes here.

An excellent study Bible for Catholics and all who are interested in summaries of Catholic teachings. The entire New American Bible is presented and about every sixty pages a section of questions and Catholic answers is given. With these questions and answers, specific scriptural references are given that can easily be refered to.
