![]() ![]() ![]() Here are the GACB, Didache Study Bible, and Catholic Study Bible lined up for comparison:Īnother questionable advertising claim for the GACB is its “tab” system which is simply printed in the page margins. In the New Testament, Jesus’ words are highlighted by red lettering.Īscnsion’s ads said the GACB had “WIDER margins for note-taking” but they unremarkable in size (maybe 5 or 6 typed characters would fit in the space using the Bible’s own font). The font size was good, though, and the clean two-column layout makes it very readable. Indeed, with almost no notes or cross-references on most pages, it looked like a rather typical Bible. ![]() It was difficult to tell there was anything special about this Bible. I must admit that my initial flip-through was rather disappointing. For reasons I quickly discovered, the GACB is about the same size as most non-study Bibles. Study Bibles are sometimes rather large, to accommodate all the extra-biblical features. My first thought was that it was smaller than I expected. The cover is nice and the Bible has a good feel overall – sturdy but not fancy (so far they are all blue). It arrived today, and I thought I’d let you in on my thoughts in case you are hesitant about dropping the hefty $60.00 Ascension is asking for it. I posted the ad all over social media, and was one of the first to order one. I’m a big fan of Jeff Cavins’s fantastic Bible Timeline materials, so I was very excited to learn of Ascension Press’s release of the Great Adventure Catholic Bible which incorporated them into a single volume.
