The Navarre Bible New Testament series offers extensive explanations of the meaning of the scriptural text and its implications for everyday life. The commentaries draw on a rich variety of sources - Church documents, the writings of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, and the work of prominent spiritual writers, particularly Saint Josemaria Escriva, who initiated the Navarre Bible project. The commentary appears on the same page as the Bible text, which is the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition. Each volume is self-contained with extensive introductions and notes to Old Testament prophecies. The Navarre Bible commentary is considered by many to be the best Catholic commentary on the Bible available today.

Accurate and Thorough Commentary/Explanation of the Bible,
By John Ettinger (john.ettinger@catholicity.com) (Cleveland, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Navarre Bible: St. John:Texts and Commentaries (The Navarre Bible: New Testament) (Paperback)
The first volume of the Navarre Bible that I owned is this volume covering the Gospel of St. John. I've used this many times in finding answers to questions about St. John's Gospel, both for myself and for others who know me. It includes the Revised Standard Version (Catholic Edition) of the Bible along with the current official Latin translation. But the best part is the explanation and reflections upon the Bible text. I haven't found another Bible commentary that compares with this one in terms of accuracy, thoroughness, or usefulness.

One of the best commentaries on St. John's Gospel,
By matt (the reading room) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Navarre Bible: St. John:Texts and Commentaries (The Navarre Bible: New Testament) (Paperback)
There are many commentaries available, but the Navarre Series is outstanding for those just beginning to read the scripture and the expert. Using the RSV and the New Vulgate (Latin), with tons of very insightful and scholarly footnotes, the series introduces the reader to the world of Christ and the Apostles through the eyes of the Catholic Church. Drawing upon modern and ancient scholarship, the reader is able to enter into the text in a devotional and intellectual manner. The footnotes, which take up most of the page, shed light and raise new questions for further inquiry and prayer.While not THE Catholic study edition, it is clearly setting the benchmark high for future publications. My only criticism, and it isn't really a fair one, is that I wish the notes would have made more extensive use of more Church Fathers- especially Eastern Fathers. But since it is the Roman Church, it makes sense that Sts. Augustine and Aquinas should loom so large. Nonetheless, it is a fantastic resource and is highly recommended! For those of you, like myself, who are not Roman Catholic- "Don't be put off!" Look at some sample pages and see for yourself. This is top-notch creedal Christian scholarship.

Read this one too,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Navarre Bible: St. John:Texts and Commentaries (The Navarre Bible: New Testament) (Paperback)
The Navarre series are absolutely a must for anyone wanting to gain a better understanding of the Gospels and other parts of the Bible. It breaks down each passage and provides the Latin text as well. Although the average reader may not understand Latin its inclusion makes it very interesting and educational as well. Excellent reference for Biblical study.
