These helpful study notes make explicit what the St Paul's Letters to teh Thessalonians, to Timothy and to Titus often assume. They also provide rich historical, cultural, geographical, and theological information pertinent to the Letters.

There is also an introductory essay covering questions of authorship, date, destination, structure, and themes. An outline of the Lettrs and a map are also included.
“Once a generation a truly unique Bible tool is given to the Church. The Ignatius Study Bible is a gift for our generation. This is the most important book since the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Every parish study group and every student of Sacred Scripture should own and use this Bible.”
