This volume in the popular Ignatius Catholic Study Bible series leads readers through a penetrating study of the books of Jeremiah, Lamentations, and Baruch using the text itself and the Church's own guidelines for understanding the Bible.

Ample notes accompany each page, providing fresh insights by renowned Scripture scholars Matthew and Leanne Thomas as well as time-tested interpretations from the Fathers of the Church. These helpful study notes provide rich historical, cultural, geographical, and theological information pertinent to the Old Testament books—information that bridges the distance between the biblical world and our own.

The Ignatius Catholic Study Bible also includes Topical Essays, Word Studies, and Charts.

The Word Studies explain the background of important biblical terms, while the Charts summarize crucial biblical information "at a glance".

"With copious historical and theological notes, incisive commentary and tools for study, the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible is outstanding for private devotion, personal study and Bible study groups. It is excellent for evangelization and apologetics as well!"
— Stephen Ray, Host, The Footprints of God series

"The Ignatius Catholic Study Bible is a triumph of both piety and scholarship, in the best Catholic tradition: simply the most useful succinct commentary that any Christian or other interested person could hope for."
— Father Simeon, O.C.S.O., (Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis), Author, Fire of Mercy, Heart of the Word
