The Word on Fire Bible (Volume I): The Gospels (Paperback) (Word on Fire Bible Series) Paperback – June 14, 2020

Excellent bible commentary that is diverse and interesting. Super engaging with several different types of commentary throughout. Essays are excellent and to the point. It has super thick paper with no bleeding or ghosting at all. Included art work is beautiful and the essays on them are great. Love that you can get it in three different formats depending on price either paperback, hardcover, or leather.Negative is the tiny 9 point font, its such a shame that they didn't go for an 11 or even 10 point font. Its a shame that i won't be considering any other editions since 9 point font is just too small for my 41 year old eyes.

This is a very clear reading of the Gospels. Important ideas are nicely separated, making for a concentrated yet easy-to-understand lesson. Bishop Barron and past saints provide helpful explanations.This is a beautiful book. If you plan to keep it for many years, intending to pass it on to the next generation of your family, purchase the leather-bound version. If you intend to read it once and use it for reference, the paperback version is inexpensive.Although I only started reading this Bible about a week ago, I find that it is difficult to stop reading it. I like this Bible so much that I purchased the next three volumes (3, 4, 5).I think that you'll very much enjoy this version of the Bible. I highly recommend it.

The commentary by Bishop Barron in this bible is beautiful. Word on fire did a great job compiling relevant writings and teachings from the church fathers to incorporate throughout the pages. 10/10 recommend this purchase.

All I can say is "where has this been all my life?". 80 plus years a Catholic and many readings at Mass as well as a complete private reading of these Gospels with many a perplexed reaction. This has expert explanations of passages ( many by Bishop Robert Barron) and much of those former mysteries now make enlightening sense. I gave my copy to my daughter and am now reading the Acts volume. I consider stumbling onto these works as a gift of grace from our Lord. I plan to order copies for my other children and some relatives and friends that might benefit.

I think Bishop Barron did an awesome job compiling the gospels in this easy to read and understand study Bible I love the additional insights from Saint Thomas Aquinus and from GK Chesterton. I do feel like these have a very Western European focus when it comes to the art pieces and I do wish that they’d also include writings from the female Doctors of the Church as well just for broader perspective… but I get that’s asking a lot from a book that is already doing more than any other study book on the Gospels I’ve ever read.

Very happy with this purchase.Will be purchasing other volumes.

These are the best!

I received this Large print Bible the next day. Great quality and love the large print.
