- First review of Word on Fire Bible The Gospels.
Check out this interview Bishop Barron gave with Cameron Bertuzzi (a Protestant apologist)
• Bishop Robert Barron o...
Bishop Barron began teaching at Mundelein seminary the first year I was a student there, 1992 I took all of his classes, recorded them and typed out all of his lectures. I think I took six or seven of his classes in my 5 years at the seminary. He always taught that there are three ways or routes of access to God, goodness truth and beauty. In our Church we have at times forgotten or de-emphisized to our loss the beauty of our Catholic faith. Yet if it is truth that captures the mind and goodness that captures the will it is beauty that captures the imagination. This I what Bishop Barron is doing, he gets this from Hans Urs von Balthasar, using the beauty of the Catholic faith to evangelize and convert our imaginations to Christ and his Church, nice review, thank you.
I'm Protestant and think this is a great video. That Bible looks amazing.
I really appreciate your thoughts. I’m sympathetic to some traditional arguments, but I’m not really a traditionalist. I agree with everything you said! This is a beautiful Bible and breathes new life into core Catholic teachings and traditions. Blessings.
This truly is a work of art. :) I understand it’s hard to put words to it when you are holding this Bible. As you put it here “It is worthy of the word of God” . I love all the commentary that helps you dive into the word page by page. Talk about immersion in the word. Also thank you for mentioning that it is all pre-Vatican II. I love the interview of Bishop Barron in the show and I am truly thankful for him. God bless you.
Thanks for this review. I'm a Traditionalist and wanted to hear a review just like this.
Thank you for this video! I asked for this for Christmas! Bishop Barron has said some questionable things in the past but he has done so much good for evangelization. He needs our prayers❤ I don't mean that in a negative way. Also, I'm glad to connect with an Irish Catholic on UA-cam. I will be subscribing.
P.S. I'm absolutely obsessed with Ireland after we visited in 2018. My favorite place on earth.
I just bought Vol 3 WOF The Pentateuch. I decided to start with this one because he said in his video introducing this volume that he thought it was the most beautiful of the three. I’m reading it cover to cover and its so easy to read - no footnotes, each page is eye pleasing, and amazing reflections, commentary and art the that enlightens and elevates The Word. He said this Bible can be read like a novel. I’ll buy the other two when I finish Vol 3. Thank you for your review. Edit: I highly recommend Vol 3
Thank you for doing this review!! I am more traditional and have only heard bad things about Bishop Barron and some of the things he has said and no traditionalists have put a review out for this, but I am intrigued by this edition of the Gospels. I'm sold, I'm giving it a chance.
Honestly I just listened to a lecture Bishop Barron gave on John Henry Newman it was very erudite and very good! I could find no fault with it on the contrary. I just got the Word on Fire Reader on Pope Benedict, with Bishop Barron's foreword, again: wonderful book, accessible ( Pope Benedict not always easily accessible) so another great gift of a book! I am wholly converted to Bishop Barron! ❤
Great review, thoroughly enjoyed it. Delighted I found this channel.
It's a beautiful bible, a living work of Art. I'm looking forward to my copy of it!
A wonderful man of God, I love to listen to his words of love and wisdom
Also Cardinal Sarah
Wonderful, moving commentary, I just ordered this book, I think it will do a lot of good, Thank you for your good words - n you talk is not long and what you say is heart warming and uplifting! We need much more of this, so I look forward to receiving this Gospel book! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for this review. I am excited to get all the volumes when they're done. :)
Would love this set of gospels, the shipping to Ireland is crazy though. Would be fantastic if Veritas started to stock it. Sales would be through the roof 👌🏼✝️💫
They post it from Italy, didn't cost that much
I think word on Fire do have a European Web store. I ordered mine from there.
It's truly sad that we laity have to question the validity of what's put on the pages , but once you discovered what happened in 1962 , our fears are well founded. I bought it. It's utterly gorgeous. Thanks for your review.
Great video and I enjoy hearing what you have to say. Thanks for sharing this.
I wish it was the RSV2CE but it's such a beautiful Bible!!
What is the difference between them?
@@KillerofGods well. The biggest thing is in the nrsv the translators used gender neutral terms in certain places. Like instead of "Son of Man" in Daniel it has Son of a human being. That's one example which is the Old Testament and the Word on Fire Bible is only the New Testament but their are other odd translation decisions like that. Which I can read past but am not a fan of it.
@@jenniferrogoff8459 Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of that either...
So far I'm really liking my RSV2CE version on my first Catholic bible.
I'll still probably pick this up as long as the commentary is good.
@@KillerofGods yeah it is still worth it to me! I did get it! For the commentary and beautiful art!
You sold me..Excellent review, thank you.
Yeah we cant go against Vatican II. It's an ecumenical council! What are we saying about God's promise for His Church. We are probably misunderstanding the documents if we think there is heresy in it.
A great review, Thanks.
Thank you
I only wish that they offered different translation options for this Bible aside from NRSV-CE! RSV-2CE would be most welcome, or the increasingly popular ESV-CE.
I understand, but remember all the translations are translations. I encourage people to read the original and learn the original texts.
Great review! Thank you!
Great review, i got the hard cover one.. I agree with your comments on bishop barron
Ej, ej, why do you have a Polish Bible? I'm very curious. Is your heritage Polish?
And tell me - wchich polish catholic Bible? Is that from the priest Jakub Wujek's Bible (1599), Millenium Bible, Warsaw-Prague's Bible (bp Casimir Romaniuk's Bible) or pauline Bible?
I speak several languages
@@thecatholicmanAnd which translation?
That French person must of throwing it in the bin after the pope started clamping down on the traditionalists. That's a joke.
Made me laugh! We need good jokes these days!
The bible is a Catholic book!
How do you feel about the NRSVCE?
that is a protestant edition.
@@thecatholicman the New Revised Standard Version: Catholic Edition (NRSV-CE)? I thought that was the translation for this Bible?
@@ChispaluzNRSVCE? No not protestant, it is the Catholic version of the NRSV according to google
I am sure it is otherwise a great Bible BUT he chose an inclusive-language version - the NRSVCE - for the text of the Bible itself. I generally like Bishop Barron and his ministry but there are exceptions. This is one of them.
whats a traditional catholic? why not just catholic?
Indeed why not just a Catholic! Sadly the label “traditional” has been applied to Catholics who love the traditional liturgy
@@thecatholicman My older aunt and uncle calls themselves “traditional Catholics” and have a huge distrust towards the pope, and have beliefs towards the church which they would prefer to revert back towards. I prefer to just say catholic, it unites all forms of people into one house. The sooner we start to create these lines and orthodoxy the sooner we’ll have a split household. Not trying to insinuate bad thoughts upon those who love tradition practices in mass, we should all love our sacred tradition. Good video otherwise. Cheers
@@nicholasjohnson2497 I am no expert but I agree, there have been various popes throughout the history of the Church all of them have been placed there through God's will. One of the popes when questions about certain "bad" popes said something along the lines of. "God has used bad popes to do good things".
Any time there's some sort of debate about this, be it about the pope, parishes, or any elders/members of the church I try to point people to Paul's letter to the Romans which is extremely helpful. Always turn to the Word.
@@nicholasjohnson2497I love the C S Lewis book " Mere Christianity" it replies to much of the nonsense you hear these days. But of one thing I am sure: the NO Mass opens up for abuse, lack of reverence, destruction. I have only the NO option where I live and I go but continue to cringe when attending. So from this perspective I absolutely support the traditionalists, the lay faithful are suffering to-day and have done so for a long time, I am afraid!😢
The Bible does look beautiful but i am not so sure if I trust in Bishop Barron and his teachings.
Why you would endorse Bishop Barron is beyond me.
“Now that Barron has publicly endorsed a book on prayer by Fr. James Martin, he has absolutely no credibility for orthodox Catholics,” declared LifeSite columnist Dr. Peter Kwasniewski, an outspoken Thomistic theologian, liturgical scholar, author, and Church commentator, in a Facebook posting. “
I could go on.
Probably best to ignore Lifesite, definitely don't take them as truth itself lol.
