Overview
The only Catholic study Bible based on the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition (RSV2CE), the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible presents three volumes on poetic and prophetic literature in the Old Testament: Daniel, Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon.
These volumes bring you the written Word of God in a highly readable, accurate translation, excellent for personal and group study. Extensive study notes, topical essays, and word studies provide fresh and faithful insights informed by time-tested, authentically Catholic interpretations from the Fathers of the Church and other scholars. They also provide rich historical, cultural, geographical, and theological information pertinent to the narratives. Commentaries combine the best insights of ancient, medieval, and modern scholarship, while following the Church’s guidelines for biblical interpretation. Plus, each book is outlined and introduced with an essay covering questions of authorship, date of composition, intended audience, and general themes. The Ignatius Study Bible also includes handy reference materials such as a doctrinal index, a concise concordance, a helpful cross-reference system, and various maps and charts.

$19.99 on PrePub for these 3 slim "upgrade" volumes? Really? That's almost half the price of the original resource, containing the entire NT, Gen, Exo, and the RSV2CE text. There are still 39 OT books to go. At this rate, this Study Bible might end up costing well over $200. This is a good series, but it would be nice if there was a way to "top off" the set as the volumes are released at a price point that reflected series-level pricing.I'd be OK with a PrePub price for the OT as a set, which got released as volumes were readied, the way base packages often include licenses for works-in-progress.
