Just listening to Bishop speak can make out he is not an ordinary person but a intelligent blessed and anointed individual. God bless him.
You probably dont give a shit but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can stream all the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother lately :)
@Frank Edward definitely, I've been watching on Instaflixxer for months myself :D
Bishop Barron sweeps through world like a mighty wave thank you so much.
For someone who is dyslexic , this Bible is a joy to read. Great work!
My daughter is a severely dyslexic. What makes it great to read?
@@aarondrennan5650 reads like a novel and is broken up nicely. It is not ( what dyslexics see) a million little words spattered on a page. Please note this is only In my opinion.
I adore my WOF Gospels, and can’t wait to receive the next volume. Thank you, Bishop Barron, Brandon, and company! You’ve inspired me like never ever before!
I’ll be buying all of these through the years. Great to have!
I just ordered a copy of this Bible. I'm very excited to read it. I'm definitely on board for investing in the rest of the Bible project. Thank you so much Bishop Barron and team for all your great work on this project. May God continue to bless the work of your hands! :)
I am so enjoying the first volume. It is beautiful and the experience is so beautiful and edifying. It enhances the beauty of our faith.
I can sit and listen to you for days and hours You have been my best preacher pastor teacher minister Bishop whatever Pastor Barrett Bishop Barron You are the greatest You have taught me so many things I love all your teachings God bless you and so many ways I watch you on UA-cam daily
Proof that there is a market for premium Catholic Bibles! Our options are so limited when compared to those of our Protestant friends.
Thank you Bishop Barron! I love art and pictures too. I love the spirituality aspect of The Word on Fire Bible.. At age 13 I was looking for Biblical Study from The Church. Unfortunately, in 1977 there was no formal Bible Study at Catholic parishes. I had to go to a Christian Church to get the Biblical classes. The Christian Church did not have Holy Communion and the absence was felt. The Holy Spirit and Sacraments brought me back.
Love this. The Word on Fire Bible is so fantastic.
*Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.* (PSALM 119:105)
I didn't know this Psalm, thanks MP I love it. The Word "a light to my path". It completes Isaiah's "The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light". (Isaiah 9:2).

That's a valuable 'connection' pointed out.
Thanks for your presence @Jerry G
Amazing work being undertaken! Much gratitude to you Bishop, Brandon, and the whole WOF team - God Bless!
I, in a drunken decision an hour before new Year, ordered the "mission set?" and gifted the three paperback copies to friends of mine who all love them.
O happy fault
People often categorize drinkers as a “happy drunk” or an “angry drunk”. But then there is the rarely seen “evangelical drunk” lol.
(FWIW, drunkenness, in the sense of drinking to the point of depriving oneself of the use of right reason, is gravely sinful)
The best missionary mission of the modern days.
Hi all 👋 I've been watching many of your videos and and all things Catholic related on UA-cam as I was into all the new age stuff and then my Catholic friend explained how all that is dark and then I watched videos on Steven Bancarz explaining all about it and I had no idea so I'm now hoping to be on the right path. Thank you and god bless.
Loved to hear the idea of a patristic style Bible. That is such a beautiful thought. I love how the Bible is so multi-faceted. I love my study Bible but it is such a great point that the Bible should not just be studied but enjoyed in other ways as well.
This is very exciting Bishop Barron! Thank you and God Bless you and the whole Word on Fire team!
Just bought volume 1 today and the Rosary package as I pray the Rosary everyday with Bishop Barron!!
Wasn't aware that the project was going beyond the first one - that's great news! Just put in my order.
I live in Skokie, Il.... just down the road a bit from Park Ridge. I love that you are doing this Bible series. I am very proud that you are giving us this gift!
The Word on Fire Bible is a great idea. I'm ordering a copy. Keep up the great work!
The WoF edition of The Holy Bible is a comprehensive text with emphasis and highlights on distinguishable works, teachings of God, and the life of Jesus Christ.
@Richie excellent warning ! The WoF or rather The Wolf Edition. Try researching scripture on re Creating the bible @Bishop Robert Barron many are already on their way to Hell because of you. I'm hoping this is stated truthfully and kindly enough.
@@santomarioninodeatocha1970 Your claim to justify who goes to hell or heaven reflects your inner hollowness on God's word, what version of Bible you read, is entirely your own choice. Selective arguments do not conclude what is right and wrong for everyone.
@@santomarioninodeatocha1970 Do not take God's name in vain. God answers to prayers, not alone justifies what's mere right and wrong. Rules and regulations work on right and wrong. When you say Him or His Son, your contextual argument goes beyond rules, what is right and wrong.
@@santomarioninodeatocha1970 You said it. God did not speak it. You do not have the authority to bind and loose and declare who is judged worthy of glory versus perdition. Jesus Christ is Lord, and He is the judge, not you. I hope that is stated kindly enough for you. Do not presume to speak for God.
What a great question from the caller--A difficult question and one I share. The caller's struggle and the utmost sincerity in searching for an answer is very moving. Bishop Barron's response, not surprisingly, is very helpful. Thank you.
I got one for myself, my mother who is a recent convert, and my sister who is an inquierer. I'll be making a pre-order for vol 2 asap!
I am excited !
Im very excited to get a copy. Just ordered today!
As a Word on Fire Institute member who has quite literally purchased EVERY book on the WOF website and many of the items in the apparel store, pre-buying this 2nd edition was a no brainer. But, I went to donate immediately to sure up my copy, and found the deal only applies to U.S. customers, and I live in Australia. Wouldn't your reach be bigger if it included your whole audience?
Nice!
Now we need you to do an illuminated breviary with the Meinrad psalm tones and get a copy into the hands of every confirmand.
I still miss the pictures too, Bishop Barron.
Was raised as a Catholic...became a Christian after reading the Bible for myself.. but Robert has restored my faith in.... the fact that maybe some Catholics actually do love God after all (with all due respect)
Why didn’t you think Catholics loved God? I hear this a lot, is it because we add tradition to the bible
Fixing to pay for my second Bible so I'm in line
Understand the illustrations are a integral aspect of the printed texts but a Kindle version would be great and reach even more people.
@@ChristIsLord7 Why wouldn't they be ? Books take up space and Kindles are a good solution.
9:54 yes sir! Well said, thank you for saying this because I have that same mindset. I miss the pictures in books "but I have to be a big boy" (not a kid anymore) and choose the books without pictures. I would still have in the back of my head at least the cover is pretty even though this book is only words.
Fun, i got my copy before youz guyz 🙏❤️. Thank you for sending it out so quickly!
Wonderful
The Name Word On Fire piqued my interest. The Church was born in the baptism with Fire 🔥
I love it, but wish that the font was larger, and the titles need either a background or something other than a gold font on shiny paper. Old eyes like non shiny paper and dark fonts... The images are beautiful.
How can I order this Bible. Can u help me please. God bless you Bishop Robert Barron. You really help a lot of people to strengthen their spiritual life. You are the best. Long live Bishop. Take care and stay safe always ❤💕💖
What say you on the response video from Dr. Ralph Martin?
Always interesting🙏
Illustrations help people visualize that why many people grow bored in books.
Is the amount goal needed on the website for just volume 2 or for the whole project? Thanks for doing this, it is such an amazing Bible
Is it possible to have BenedictXVI book in audio version?
When will they bring out the Psalms,is there a timeline?
This feels like an advertisement... but whatever I love stuff like this. I collect Taschen book, Dk Books Smithsonian book, etc. I love pictures in my learning. I picked up a copy on amazon. Cheers.
That's exciting, I'm really looking forward to the second volume! For the Europeans among us, will this still be shipped from England? That would be a bit unfortunate, since after the Brexit that would mean that we Europeans have to pay import taxes to buy a bible that has been produced in Italy. I'm going to buy it anyway, of course :-)
La salvezza è solo in Cristo non in altre false religioni
How is this compared to the Navarre Bible?
Wow! Count me in 💪🏻👍🏻🙏🏻 I will donate now, hopefully I’ll receive my copy Jan 2022 👏🏻 Hello from Manila 🤗
Please do the Wisdom literature next, please, I love this wisdom literature the most in the old testament. And more beautiful illustrations of Mother Mary because She is the created Wisdom of the Father, The Secret and Source of Solomon Great Power, we need Her now to substitute the lIght of God is being lost by the evil of this world
I believe that the Bible is the Word of God and if we keep on reading it we get revelation and special blessings. But due to the translation from hebrew to other languages isnt there a possibility that the contents will get a bit twisted and alter the true meaning that has to be conveyed. Then in this case the true impact one gets from reading the new version will not be what one ought to receive from reading the Word of God
This looks amazing, any way I could get one living in south america?
Is Origen a canonized saint? If not, why not?
No. There’s probably several reasons why he’s not canonized. Two reasons that are often talked about are his belief in the preexistence of the soul and his act of self castration. Despite his flaws however, he’s still a very important figure of the early church
I will tell you a joke. It goes like this: Hell is made out of flames of God's love - full stop.
7 Bible volumes? Brah....
PATHER..!
Is there any chance to purchase from China? Is it sold at the Amazon ...😂
It is sold on Amazon.

There is a very good reason previous interpretations have stuck with looking at the historical context of the Scriptures and NOT tried to frame them in an interpretive light for the current day. Our current circumstances our temporary. They change. Even if you do manage to get the framework right for how the Bible should be taken as directing us as a culture spiritually in what we're going through right now, which is highly doubtful and unverifiable in any case, in the span of a single generation, even just a few years, our society could be facing wildly different issues and your framework may hinder their understanding of Scripture.
Revelation 22:18 "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:"
WoF Bible is not replacing anything in the scriptures. Its meant to draw people back to the Bible or faith, allowing people to relate more to the stories in a modern way and for today's world or for our times. If someone chooses to read scripture in its original text, e.g. Hebrew and Greek or even the medieval translation in Latin, then so be it. They never said its replacing all other Bible translations before Vatican II, which you trads are so stuck on.
BTW, your Revelation passage is not even in its original Koine Greek? a language of a very different society and time, compared to that of even Medieval Europe. Good luck.
What Bishop Barron meant was that we shouldn't read the Bible as a historical book: dry facts...bereft of the Spirit. If you have the Holy Spirit, the Word of God will light up and be alive even if you don't have a commentary. As my bishop said, "without the Holy Spirit nothing is happening."
How shameful of them, isn't it!
Normally when someone launches a project that will generate revenue, he invests and risks his own $, hoping to make it increase.
But these individuals do not have such qualms. Instead, they want to invest not their $ but YOUR $, and then, when the project is ready, charge YOU again to buy it!
You put your $ to start production, you put your $ again to buy the finished product, ... and THEY collect the profits!
Ha, ha. Sure bet ... but how morally sound is that!
Watched your interview in the last Fr Amorth documentary. Bishop how can you be scared of the devil, isn't that lacking proper faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ. Won't be coming to see you if I need to have an exorcism
Sorry that I did, thought, said and wish any bad towards you in anyway
Despite it's many virtues...no one ( I think) has actually mentioned the Biblical text. Who did the actual translating from Hebrew & Greek into English? Has a fresh translation been made or do we simply have a more accessible version of the Jerusalem Bible? Further, as an Evangelical Prot, I began to feel uneasy at the inclusion of quite so many comments from past figures. Venerable &worthy no doubt. But it could end up as a Catholic version of the Talmud! (We Prots fell into that trap with "The Schofield Bible"!)
According to the store page it's the NRSV text, which I think is generally a fairly standard one for scholars to use. I think the selling point is having all the commentaries and Bible in one book (and it being a nice book) rather than being groundbreakingly new.
I would read the Word on Fire bible before thinking this is a Catholic version of the Talmud. The interpretations are largely spiritual rather than apologetic. There are some passages with apologetic commentary, but I think it has more to do with highlighting what Church Fathers had to say on the passage. The fact that they often held a Catholic view on some of these key passages is something that might give us pause. I don't think they would claim that this is the "only" way to read the text with any of the interpretations, just that is a way to look at it to get a specific allegorical, anagogical or moral meaning. Lastly, the Bible is also replete with Bishop Barron's own commentary and sermons which bring in the historical perspective and are often sourced from top biblical scholars such as N.T. Wright.
The Scofield Bible is a problem because it’s one guys personal interpretation of prophecy using the dispensations according to John Nelson Darby. The church fathers are obviously not one interpretation but the best and most orthodox Christian thinkers with a direct line to the apostolic tradition of church Christ founded. Unlike the Talmud where disputes where never resolved the Catholic Church though her magisterium and church councils where able to tell us which opinions the fathers got right and when they occasionally erred add to that modern opinions from contemporary scholars and you likely will get a very orthodox Bible both ancient and modern at the same time not slanted to much to one person unlike many Protestant bibles which often are a commentary by one popular pastor or theologian
@@lilwaynesworld0 Thanks for the reply & helpful clarifications. Appreciatively, Rob Shaw.
@@michaeljefferies2444 Dear Michael: thanks for the reply & helpful clarifications. Appreciated, Rob Shaw.
I think the bible is horrible you should’ve put all the books in there
Baptizing babies? Have they made profession of faith? Who is this guy?
You hypocrite, when I was at catholic school in the forties it was a mortal sin to read the Bible.Limbo no longer exist.why?.
Don’t blame me for your bad education!
It's never been a mortal sin to read the bible. St Jerome in the 5th century said ignorance of scripture is ignorance of God. Pope Leo XIII in 1893 published an encyclical encouraging reading the bible. Pope Pius XII in 1943 did the same as did Pope Paul VI and John Paul II. The Vulgate was the bible of the church for 1500yrs, the Douay-Rheims from the 15th to the 19th centuries, the NAB and Jerusalem Bible in the 1970s and an explosion of bibles since then. So when were we told not to read the bible?
