It includes apologetical notes, color maps, and a durable design, making it ideal for both devotional reading and academic study. Praised for its readability and doctrinal depth, it is a top choice for educators and serious students seeking a comprehensive Catholic scriptural resource. ## Description The Didache Bible (RSV-2CE) presents extensive commentaries, based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church, for each of the books of the Holy Bible. The Didache Bible also includes numerous apologetical inserts to assist the reader in understanding the Church’s teachings on current issues. After publishing the books of The Didache Series, Midwest Theological Forum set out to fill a need for a Catholic edition of Sacred Scripture with explanatory and apologetical commentaries based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The publication of the Didache Bible, based on these principles, fulfills the desire of Pope St. John Paul II as expressed in his Apostolic Constitution Fidei Depositum: The Catechism of the Catholic Church... is a statement of the Church’s faith and of catholic doctrine, attested to or illumined by Sacred Scripture, the Apostolic Tradition and the Church’s Magisterium. I declare it to be a sure norm for teaching the faith. (no. IV) The Didache Bible (RSV-2CE) is Review: Excellent Catholic Bible - 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.) Review: Excellent Catholic Bible for study or devotion - Beautiful made Bible. Translation is excellent, printing is excellent, paper quality is phenomenal with little bleed through and letters and words crisp and contrasted nicely on white paper. Binding stubtantial and should last a very long time. Content of Bible is full of helpful notations that include Catholic Catechism references as well. High recommend, for both devotional and study. ## Features - Revised Standard Version - Second Catholic Edition (RSV-2CE) - Ignatius Bible Edition - Hardcover ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #47,972 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8 in Religious Studies (Books) #7,241 in Religion & Spirituality (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 976 Reviews | ## Images ![The Didache Bible: With Commentaries Based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81i0TdpvbWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Catholic Bible *by D***R on August 8, 2023* 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).

Translation is excellent, printing is excellent, paper quality is phenomenal with little bleed through and letters and words crisp and contrasted nicely on white paper. Binding stubtantial and should last a very long time. Content of Bible is full of helpful notations that include Catholic Catechism references as well. High recommend, for both devotional and study. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Treasure of a Bible *by L***E on May 5, 2025* This is a wonderful Bible. I can think of some improvements, but all in all, it is a beautiful edition. 1) References to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC). Originally, like others have said in their reviews, I thought the actual quotes from the CCC would be included. However, there are some brief summaries and the CCC is cited. At first I was disappointed, but then I realized that including full quotes from the CCC would easily double the size of the Bible, so obviously, it isn’t practical. 2) Scattered throughout the Bible, there are commentaries, based on CCC teaching. I love these. They say so much in just a page. 3) There are introductions to each book. They are important to understand the book in context. 4) Extensive footnotes that don’t just cite the CCC, but add a little bit more of info. 5) Connections to other scriptures are great so when I come across something, I can go to the other verses, sometimes in other books, and see the consistency of the writers. 6) Plenty of column and other space for me to write my own notes, and I am a prolific note writer. I write in ALL books that I own. 7) The page thickness is so much better than so many other Bibles I own (I do own a few!). I do not use highlighters, not even those advertised for Bibles, because in my experience, wet highlighters do bleed through. Instead I use “8-color” mechanical pencils, which are more like having a set of map-pencils-in-one and these pencils are dry. I can “highlight” without bleed through. So, I cannot say for certain if a highlighter would bleed through this Bible’s pages, but they SEEM sturdy enough to withstand a wet marker. 8) I do wish this Bible came with tabs. I bought my own and attached them, but already tabbed would have been nice. 9) I also wish this Bible came in paperback. It would make it easier to use. I have the leather bound edition, and I do like it, but a paperback is easier when it comes to study, and mark ups. All in all, this Bible is a treasure and I would give it a 4.9 stars if I could. But, since I can’t, I give it 5 stars. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Didache Bible: With Commentaries Based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church - Catechism of the Catholic Church: Second Edition - Catechism of the Catholic Church, Revised --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/43468059-the-didache-bible-with-commentaries-based-on-the-catechism-catholic](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/43468059-the-didache-bible-with-commentaries-based-on-the-catechism-catholic) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-07-04*
