http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1939231140/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ASOIPFGV1XEU1Added the Didache Bible on my Wish List

The Didache Bible presents extensive commentaries, based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church, for each of the books of the Holy Bible. The Didache Bible also includes numerous apologetical inserts to assist the reader in understanding the Church's teachings on current issues. After publishing the books of The Didache Series, Midwest Theological Forum set out to fill a need for a Catholic edition of Sacred Scripture with explanatory and apologetical commentaries based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The publication of the Didache Bible, based on these principles, fulfills the desire of Pope St. John Paul II as expressed in his Apostolic Constitution Fidei Depositum: "The Catechism of the Catholic Church . . . is a statement of the Church's faith and of catholic doctrine, attested to or illumined by Sacred Scripture, the Apostolic Tradition and the Church's Magisterium. I declare it to be a sure norm for teaching the faith" (no. IV). The Didache Bible is a valuable resource for students and those participating in Scripture studies. Ideal for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith and intended to be accessible by all Catholics in its level of scriptural scholarship. Available in the Ignatius Bible Edition (Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition) Features 27 full-color biblical maps, including the journeys of Jesus Christ More than 100 apologetical explanations that help to answer common questions about the faith Includes a comprehensive, 43-page glossary and a topical index

RSV-CE vs. RSV-2CE (JUDGES)

The main differences between the RSV-CE and RSV-2CE translations in the excerpts from the Book of Judges involve changes in wording, particularly the use of " sons of Israel " instead of " the people of Israel " in many instances. Other notable differences include: Vocabulary changes : "ass" in RSV-CE is often changed to " donkey " in RSV-2CE. "smote" is frequently replaced with " struck " in RSV-2CE.

"tawny asses" is changed to " tawny donkeys ". "marshal's staff" retains the apostrophe in RSV-2CE " marshal’s staff ". "lordly bowl" remains the same but "he asked water" becomes " He asked for water ". ...

NABRE vs. NRSV: Memorial of St. Basil the Great and St. Gregory Nazianzen, Bishops and Doctors (Jn 1:19-28)

From time to time I will compare readings from the Lectionary using the NABRE and NRSV. This is done by many bloggers and I guess it won't be bad doing the same. Here it goes: NABRE: This is the testimony of John. When the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to him to ask him, “Who are you?” He admitted and did not deny it, but admitted, “I am not the Christ.” So they asked him, “What are you then? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.” So they said to him, “Who are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us? What do you have to say for yourself?” He said: “I am the voice of one crying out in the desert, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.” Some Pharisees were also sent. They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet?” John answered them, “I baptize with water; but there is one among you whom you do not recognize, the one who is coming after me...

The first-born said "my father"

I stumbled upon this verse thinking that they have a different father but the same mother. And on the next day, the first-born said to the younger, "Behold, I lay last night with my father; let us make him drink wine tonight also; then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring through our father." -- Gen 19:34 (RSV-CE) But reading into the whole context, I think the girls have the same father -- Lot.
