Product Details
Product Details
The Catholic Bible Companion is a premium leather-bound guide that gives one clear page to every single book of the Catholic Bible. All 73 of them, in order, including the seven books that Protestant Bibles leave out: Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, and 1 and 2 Maccabees.
Every page answers the same four questions, so you always know where you are:
Who wrote it, and when. The historical moment the book came out of, in plain language.
What it is actually about. The story or argument of the book in a few clear paragraphs, not a summary you need a degree to follow.
The key themes. What the Church has always understood this book to be teaching.
Who is in it. The major figures, what they did, and why they matter.
This is a reference book, not a workbook. There is nothing to fill in and no homework. You open it, read one page, and understand the book you are about to read or just heard proclaimed at Mass.
Physical details:
Burgundy leather cover with gold foil, an embossed crucifix, and a ribbon marker

Reviewed for doctrinal accuracy by a practicing Catholic before printing. Works alongside any Catholic translation you already own. It does not replace your Bible. It makes the one you have make sense.
One Page Before You Read. That Is the Whole Method.
No year-long program. No study group you have to keep up with. Open to the book you are reading, spend four minutes, and walk in already knowing what it is about.

Got Questions?
Is this actually Catholic, or is it a Protestant book with a crucifix on it?
Is this actually Catholic, or is it a Protestant book with a crucifix on it?
It is Catholic all the way through. It covers all 73 books of the Catholic canon, including the seven deuterocanonical books that Protestant Bibles do not contain, and every page was reviewed for doctrinal accuracy by a practicing Catholic before it went to print. If you have ever bought a faith resource and felt something was slightly off in it, you already know why we take this seriously.
Do I need to know anything about the Bible already?
Do I need to know anything about the Bible already?
No. This book exists precisely because most Catholics were never taught to read Scripture, and that was never your fault. Every page starts from zero. There is no assumed knowledge, no theological vocabulary you have to look up, and nothing that expects you to have done this before.
Is the print large enough for me to read comfortably?
Is the print large enough for me to read comfortably?
Yes. This was the first decision we made. The type is large and high contrast with generous margins, because the most common complaint about guides like this is that the publisher crammed the text down to save paper. We would rather the book be thicker.
Does this replace my Bible?
Does this replace my Bible?
No. It sits next to it. Read the one page on Isaiah, then read Isaiah, and it will make sense in a way it did not before. It works with any Catholic translation you already own, whether that is the NABRE, the RSV-CE, the Douay-Rheims, or the Bible you were given at Confirmation.
What actually makes this different from the Bible guides I see everywhere else?
What actually makes this different from the Bible guides I see everywhere else?
Almost all of them cover 66 books, because almost all of them are written for Protestants. Your Bible has 73. That means Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, and 1 and 2 Maccabees are simply missing from the guide you would otherwise buy. This is the one that covers your whole Bible.
Is this a good gift for my children or grandchildren?
Is this a good gift for my children or grandchildren?
It is one of the most common reasons people buy it. It is a leather-bound book with gold foil and a ribbon marker, not a workbook, so it holds up on a shelf for decades and does not look like homework. Many people order one for themselves and two or three more once they have seen it.
