Product Description
•••••
Read the Bible like never before, wrapped in 2,000 years of insight, art, and tradition.
Four years in the making, The Word on Fire Bible is a groundbreaking new series introducing readers to the strange, colorful world of the Bible.
It was designed to appeal not just to Christians but to non-believers, searchers, and those with far more questions than answers. It doesn't presume any experience with the Bible, catering to those unfamiliar with its many events and characters, while still providing rich insights to even the most biblically literate.
It's a cathedral in print, the highest-quality Catholic Bible ever produced for mass distribution.
Inside this first volume of the series, you'll find the four Gospels surrounded by illuminating artwork and helpful commentary from Bishop Robert Barron, the Church Fathers, and some of the greatest saints, mystics, artists, and scholars throughout history, allowing the story of Jesus Christ to shine with new clarity and splendor.
You'll discover insights from John Chrysostom, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, John Henry Newman, G.K. Chesterton, Thérèse of Lisieux, Fulton Sheen, John Paul II, and many other teachers in the way of the Spirit.
The translation used in The Word on Fire Bible is the New Revised Standard Version: Catholic Edition (NRSV-CE), which has received wide acclaim from academics and Church leaders. It stands out because of its accuracy and readability, being as literal as possible yet as free as necessary to make the meaning clear in graceful, understandable English. It’s a wonderful translation—both for those who have never read the Bible and for those who have studied it for years.

This Bible arrived within days of ordering. The quality and beauty of it is everything that others have been saying about it. I bought it with the intention of encountering Christ through it in those quiet moments that life affords and it has surpassed my expectations. I am very thankful for the amazing team who came together and offered their gifts and labour of love to produce this unique and timeless piece.

How amazing that we now have a Canadian company to facilitate the purchase of these wonderful books from the US. I purchased the leather bound version and am beyond happy with it. It is exquisitely made and i hope to pass it on to my children one day.
