I am right now using this commentary as I lead a group with a half hour video from an EWTN and then we use the book to answer the review questions which the class does for homework. Easy for beginner students and learned enough to provoke my thoughts as well.

Book Description

Based on the Revised Standard Version - Catholic Edition, this fourth volume in this series leads readers through a penetrating study of the Book of Acts, using the biblical text itself and the Church's own guidelines for understanding the Bible. Ample notes accompany each page, providing fresh insights 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 Acts often assumes. They provide rich historical, cultural, or theological information pertinent to the Gospel.

The Ignatius Study Bible also includes Topical Essays, Word Studies and Charts. Each page also includes an easy-to-use Cross-Reference Section. 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 The Book of Acts and several maps are also included.

Customer Reviews:

great resource!.......2006-03-19

This series of books is ideal for those wishing to study the bible on a book-by-book basis. The books themselves are reasonably priced and self-contained (meaning you get both the scripture and the commentary). The questions in the back are great for not only checking up on your grasp of the details of each chapter, but to apply the contents of the chapter to one's everyday life. It can also be used for individual bible study, small groups, or (as I've done it) a group of about 40 people. Also, there are great maps and word-studies of key concepts in the scripture.

Perhaps the best commentary on Acts available.......2003-05-13

Hahn & Mitch have done another fantastic job. They take the data of the biblical book, break down for the modern reader what's happening, how it relates to what's going on before and after, and gives us the theological significance besides.

I love all the Ignatius Bible Study commentaries. As a group there is no modern commentary series that is its equal. They have the depth necessary for scholars looking for an accessible resource and the straight forward approach that American readers long for.

They do an excellent job in particular demonstrating the parallels between the ministries of Peter and Paul while these two carry out the ministry of Jesus in word and deed.

Catholic Bible Study Tool for Individuals or Groups.......2003-01-15

The Ignatius Catholic Study Bible is a great tool for small groups seeking to understand the Bible from a Catholic perspective.

This concise, 80-page paperback, is composed of five major sections:
- Introduction to the Ignatius Study Bible
- Introduction to the Acts of the Apostles
- Outline of the Acts of the Apostles
- Acts of the Apostles with Commentary by Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch
- Study Questions by Dennis Walters

The commentary includes historical background, with maps, and categorized notes. The notes have symbols next to them indicating whether they are:
- content and unity
- living tradition
- analogy of faith

The study questions are grouped by chapter, and then broken down into two sections per chapter: "For understanding" and "For application." The understanding questions are textual analysis questions. " The application questions are pertinent for the spiritual lives of Catholics. However, space was not provided within the questions themselves for notes. There are no notes pages at the end of the book, and white space was not allotted within the questions themselves, so you may want to use a notebook in conjuction with this study guide.

Valuable Source for Bible Studies!.......2007-01-12

Each member of our Bible study group purchased a copy of the Gospel of Luke and are learning so much. We continue to be amazed at the scholarship of Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch in writing the commentary to this Gospel. The other books in this series are equally great, and we can hardly wait until they finish their research of the entire Bible.

gospel of luke: the ignatius guide.......2006-02-25

This was a great book to use in reaserh for the person in religiuos study. I highly recommend this book.

Great Guide.......2006-01-31

This is a wonderful guide. I highly recommend it to everyone, students, teachers and ministers. As a general study guide it is invaluable.
Students of theology and those people interested in a more detailed study, would probably like to supplement this with Jerome's Commentary and those of Raymond E. Brown especially the anchor bible series.
This guide includes topical and word studies that are very well done.

Study Guide offers helpful insight.......2005-08-27

Like the other study guides by Scott Hahn, The Gospel of Luke provides enriching insight and background to these sacred writings. These guides are ideal for discussion groups.

An excellent series.......2004-03-26

This is a great tool for understanding the Gospel of luke. The book starts off with an introduction explaining the inerrancy and the authority of scripture and the proper way of interpreting it. There are many helpful notes, word studies, and essays in this book. One of the essays is on Mary Ark of the covenant,another is on Jesus, the son of Man. The study questions in the back of the book are helpful for understanding and applying Gods word to our life. This whole series has helped me have a better understanding and a greater love for Gods word.

Book Description

The epitome of the chivalric novel, Ivanhoe sweeps readers into Medieval England and the lives of a memorable cast of characters. Ivanhoe, a trusted ally of Richard-the-Lion-Hearted, returns from the Crusades to reclaim the inheritance his father denied him. Rebecca, a vibrant, beautiful Jewish woman is defended by Ivanhoe against a charge of witchcraft--but it is Lady Rowena who is Ivanhoe's true love. The wicked Prince John plots to usurp England's throne, but two of the most popular heroes in all of English literature, Richard-the-Lion-Hearted and the well-loved famous outlaw, Robin Hood, team up to defeat the Normans and reagain the castle. The success of this novel lies with Scott's skillful blend of historic reality, chivalric romance, and high adventure.

Customer Reviews:

Remember Chivalry?.......2007-06-11

Classic book about knights, damsels and chivalry. It is difficult to read because it is in 17th century English, but well worth the time to read. The book is an adventure with notable characters such as Robinhood and company, Richard the Lionheart and of course the title character Ivanhoe who are all fighting to keep Richard on his throne. Great read for those who love medieval tales.

great literary piece.......2007-04-29

i tried to read this book back in high school (10th grade, exactly) and i couldn't get past the first chapter. i tried again about 15 years later and drudged through it and still didn't 'get it', because of the way the dialogue was set up. Then, when i took a screen weriting class in college, i became obsessed with the idea of adapting ivanhoe into a screenplay. so, i purchased the book and a copy of the 'cliff notes'. the cliff note helped me to understand the dialoge and the action a lot better and i could not put the book down. i've read it at least a dozen times dirung the last four yers. though i've yet to adapt it, i still enjoy it every time i pick it up. two characters stand out: the independant minded Rebecca and the strong, powerful Richard the Lionhearted. a great read and i recemomend it to anyone whomay be a little older than your high school kid.

Effort, Rewarded: The Joys of Finishing Ivanhoe *SPOILERS*.......2007-03-11

It took me three separate attempts, over the course of my life, to successfully read Ivanhoe. The first two times, I didn't make it past page 50. This third time, I almost stopped again... but, resolutely, I continued on, because I'd heard so many good things about the novel over the years that I knew there'd be reward waiting, just around the corner.

The reason why I had stopped reading the book two-and-a-half times was because the language and syntax seem so very heavy and dense to the modern reader. And, this isn't just a "19th Century British" thing (though that does play a part), but, I believe, a Walter Scott thing. He has a style that seems a little impenetrable, at first. But now, having read the work to completion, I am happy to report the following: that, over time, the reader's "ear" becomes accustomed to Scott's storytelling; and that, the journey, for all of its initial difficulties and obstacles, is absolutely worth it. As advertised, Ivanhoe is a great novel.

Set during the reign of Richard the Lion-Hearted, who is absent from an England suffering under the stewardship of the much-maligned Prince John, Ivanhoe is the tale of Saxon partisans chaffing under the yoke of their Norman masters, and of the romances and battles which result. Wilfred of Ivanhoe, son of a Saxon noble, recently returned from service in the Crusades, becomes embroiled against Norman knights during a tournament, and risks the loss of his lands and lady-love when he is gravely injured and she, kidnapped.

While this happens, we also get to meet a host of widely-diverse characters, some of which are already familiar, such as Robin Hood, Friar Tuck and Allan-a-Dale, and some of whom are new, but wonderful heroes in their own rights, such as Cedric the Saxon Thane, Wamba the Jester, and Issac, the Jewish money-lender and his daughter, Rebecca. To balance such a scope of heroes, we of course need great villains, and Ivanhoe does not disappoint, rounding up (among others) the infamous Prince John and the Order of the Knights Templar.

The plot is a wonderful bit of romantic action, taking us from a tournament, to an attack on a castle, to a trial-by-combat, etc. It's everything you'd expect from a story set in the Robin Hood genre.

I've heard some complaint of Scott's shoddy historical details--that there are anachronisms aplenty to be found throughtout the work. As a one-time history major, I suppose that I'm the sort who ought to care about such things? And yet, I believe that the virtues of this novel, including its exciting plot, complicated characterizations (especially that of the Templar, Brian de Bois-Guilbert) and engrossing narrative voice make any substantial attention given to these temporal flaws a little off-point. We admit that Ivanhoe is not a solid history textbook; it was never meant to be one, and if you're looking to learn the history of the time, you should find something a bit further removed from the fiction aisle. What it was meant to be was an exciting, entertaining, enjoyable novel, and in that, Ivanhoe succeeds admirably.

Beyond just being entertaining, Ivanhoe is also a fairly sophisticated social statement, through Scott's representation of his Jewish heroes, Issac and Rebecca. Rebecca, especially, who never acts as anything less than a saint in the work, and yet is the only hero denied a happily-ever-after ending (an interesting bit of dischord at the end), points up the hypocrisy of religious intolerance rather well. I've heard that there are lots of readers who had hoped that Ivanhoe would wind up marrying Rebecca, instead of the Christian, but rather bland, lady-fair, Rowena. I am of that number, and I suspect that Scott planned it out that way.

In summary, I'm awfully glad that I managed to make myself press on, this third time around. Ivanhoe is a novel that might demand a little patience and perserverance from the modern reader, but stands ready to amply reward the efforts made. I plan on investigating Scott further in the future, and hopefully soon, before my ear once again dulls to his older, but rich and worthy voice.

A true classic and a wonderful read. Five stars.

Rebecca of Ivanhoe.......2006-10-09

Of all the books that I have read or had to read, I always loved Sir Walter Scott's classic novel, Ivanhoe, more for it's female Jewish character of Rebecca who is the better alternative than princess Rowena. Anyway, it is Rebecca that I think is the heart and soul of the novel. Because of her background, she is ostracized and forced to live a Jewish nun's life caring for others. No British man like Ivanhoe would admit his love for this beautiful woman. Rebecca is persecuted not just because she is a woman but a Jewish woman in England at a time when they were hostile to anybody different including Catholics as well. I love this novel. I know that they adapt it a million times but I don't think they ever focused enough on Rebecca.

Athelstane shoulda stayed dead!.......2006-05-01

That's my one problem with the plot. Otherwise, this book is quite enjoyable. Yes, the history is a little fanciful, but Scott is masterful at establishing a milieu, creating memorable characters, and using achronological chapters. Deservedly a classic.

Wonderful Personal or Small Group Study.......2006-11-10

Another great effort that makes the book of Romans come alive. The special helps reflect the historical and patristic positions on Scripture. "Pop theology" is thankfully missing from this amazing study.

An OK study guide.......2006-03-27

My main issue with this study guide is the way in which the commentary and notes are formatted on the page. They are squeezed in with tiny print at the bottom of the page like regular footnotes in an academic journal and they are broken down by the verse to which they refer. So there really is no flow to the notes, they're just choppy, jumping from one subject to another.

I think a more effective means of explaining the contents of Paul's letter would be to have the text of the letter on one page and have the notes on the facing page. And have the notes in a flowing paragraph style rather than the choppy verse-by-verse format that are in this book.

I could get similar styled notes in the New American Bible that I already own.
