Holy Bibles+ Recommendations

I have been eye-balling “The Didache Bible” (with Commentaries Based on the Catechism) and “The Great Adventure Catholic Bible.”

Both of these would be good for study.

But, what I would really love is a solid Bible with commentary from the Early Church Fathers baked into it. I found one that tries to do this, but based on the reviews, it has flaws. The biggest flaw is the quality of actual book itself.

Some Bibles use that tissue-paper paper (I don’t like that). Other go overboard with foil edges and glossy paper (I don’t like this either). Some Bibles use fonts and spacing that is not pleasing to the eye.

“The Devine Mercy Bible” has a beautiful layout. If someone could take that design layout and add the Early Church Fathers’ Commentary, I would purchase it in a heartbeat.

That tissue paper is actually called Bible paper. It’s thin, lightweight and strong. I’m not saying you should like it, just that it’s designed to make the big, thick Good Book thinner and weigh less. When I worked at book publishers, I had the proverbial stack of Bibles so I could verify quotations used by Christian authors. I can’t say there’s a version I really like, but I mainly use the New American Bible given to me in 1998.
