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 Luke, using the
biblical text itself and the Church's own guidelines for understanding the
Bible. Ample notes accompany each page, providing fresh insights and commentary
by renowned Bible teachers Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch, as well as time-tested
interpretations from the Fathers of the Church. These helpful study notes make
explicit what St. Luke 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 Luke'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 Luke's Gospel and several maps are also included.
