Updated to my original view. I originally wrote: "Excellent bible resource and faithful to the majesterium." and gave the Didache bible 5 stars. However after doing more research comparing what the catholic church traditionally teaches, some of the introductory essays to the books in the bible, call into question matters of the Catholic faith, that the writings are not the inspired word of God, since it questions the authorships. The Pontifical Biblical Commission under the authority of the majestium declared the authorship of Genesis, Isaiah and Daniel to be true, as well as Paul writing the book of hebrews and 2 Peter. While footnotes and apologetical essays are faithful to the majesterium, the authors took liberties in using the modernist historical critical method to write about these books, which casts doubt on the faith. This bible has gotten rave reviews, however modernists are wolves in sheep's clothing and do dodgey things like this.

I teach Salvation History to people who want to convert to the Catholic Church as part of the conversion process (not the typical American RCIA program; we spend an academic year on the Bible before approaching the Catechism directly). The first thing I recommend is that they get a good Catholic Bible, and if they want one in English, to get the Didache. I tell them that if they are only going to get ONE English-language Catholic Bible in their lives, this is the one to get. It is easy to read (good font size), has two ribbons and color maps, hard-bound - so it's a book that doesn't put you off but invites you to read it. It IS heavy and substantial; you'll want another, smaller Bible if you want one to carry around. But this one has good footnotes and most importantly, many pages with explanations of Catholic teachings and references to the Catechism. ALL of my students who have bought one have been delighted with it, and so happy to have such a helpful Catholic Bible to read and refer to in classes as well as to see them through decades of Bible-reading and study. Our pastoral community has been blessed with the donation of a number of these Bibles, so even when our people can't afford to buy a Bible, or would rather get one in their native language (my students are from all over the world), this is the Bible we use in our classes so everyone is reading from the same translation. I have a number of different translations, and have only begun teaching using this one, but I'm very happy with it as a classroom Bible that I know will be a good 'family Bible' for my students in their future after reception into the Catholic Church. If anyone asked me to recommend 'a good Catholic Bible', this is the one I always suggest for people who want to see how Catholic teaching can be found in the Bible. (If they already have this one, and want one with more notes on the text itself, I recommend the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible - New Testament and whichever of the published OT books the Ignatius project has put out. The Didache is more Catechism-oriented, so those two together would be about all the average Catholic would need to read and study the Bible and find Catholic teaching in scripture.)

The best Bible I have possessed so far. Beyond expectations.

Con un énfasis en la ubicación histórica y cultural, así como en la aplicación de las enseñanzas según los Padres de la Iglesia y el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, ésta Biblia es realmente un tesoro de sabiduría y una excelente referencia para aquellos interesados en ahondar en lo que realmente se quiso decir, así como en el porqué y en el cómo se aplica a nuestras vidas y circunstancias presentes. Desgraciadamente está solo en inglés, pero si dominan este idioma, esta Biblia es un verdadero hallazgo.
