The principal annotator and associate editor of the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible, Curtis Mitch, wrote this: "The new Great Adventure Catholic Bible is a thing of beauty.

As you read Scripture, you’ll instantly know where each book fits in the overarching story of the Bible.

Each book of the Bible is color-coded with a thumb index, indicating where it belongs within The Bible Timeline.

Scripture, The Great Adventure Bible can help make the complexity of the Bible simple.This is a beautiful study bible. There are great notes and reference materials. And if you are looking for a new study bible, I can highly recommend this volume. I have owned many bibles over the last 45ish years. This is one of the best I have used for study.

I would have loved to have had this bible when I was a student. It would have been great for my personal reading and for academic research. It is well put together. Organized coherently. Good footnotes without being excessive.

Seven articles introduce andexplain the major covenantsof salvation history, showing God’s amazing plan for humanity. I have attached some photographs of my 'The Didache Bible', where you will notice the type of highlighter I use, the areas where I have highlighted and the bad typesetting.

With The Great Adventure Bible Study, sections of Scripture that I thought were completely unrelated begin to connect. I wasn’t as intimidated by reading and praying with Scripture as I had been before. And slowly, I stopped playing Bible roulette.

Twelve Timeline charts provide a visual overview of the Bible, including: important characters, Key Events, geography, major covenants, world rulers, and contemporary events in secular history.
