Ignatius Catholic Study Bible: The Gospel of Matthew

With Commentary, Annotations and Topical Essays by Scott Hahn and Curtis
Mitch
Based on the Revised Standard Version - Catholic Edition, this volume
leads readers through a penetrating study of the Gospel of Matthew, using the
biblical text itself and the Church's own guidelines for understanding the
Bible. Matthew often assumes. Or they provide rich historical,
cultural, geographical or theological information pertinent to the Gospel -
information that bridges the distance between the biblical world and our own.

The Ignatius Study Bible also includes Topical Essays, Word Studies and
Charts. The Topical Essays explore the major themes of Matthew's Gospel, often
relating them to the doctrines of the Church. The Word Studies explain the
background to important Bible terms, while the Charts summarize crucial biblical
information "at a glance".

Each page also includes an easy-to-use Cross-Reference Section that runs
between the biblical text at the top of the page and the annotations at the
bottom. Study Questions are provided for each chapter of the Gospel that can
deepen your personal study of God's Holy Word. There is also an introductory
essay covering questions of authorship, date, destination, structure and themes.
An outline of Matthew's Gospel and several maps are also included.
