If you don't have the Word on Fire Bible by Bishop Barron, you might be an NPC.

Lols Christianity is hemorrhaging believers so badly it has to make the Bible look like Lord of the Rings to hang on to millennials.

Only a protestant would think a basic commitment to classical aesthetics is some last gasp attempt at evangelizing.

The only reason they send you to church once a week is to save time on writing dialogue.

If you're wowed by pretty pictures and glossy pages, sure. It's entry-level apologetics, nobody is reading it in seminary or theology courses.

It's not an apologetics bible. You can't cram an apologetics book into a Bible. it's a study bible, with exegesis from Church fathers and other commentators. It also happens to be absolutely beautifully crafted.

Looks beautiful, but it's expensive. 6 volumes at $60/volume. And while the commentary looks interesting, I'm not particularly fond of the NRSV-CE. Gotta say, while I wouldn't mind owning a set, I'm not going to go out of my way to get it.

You can get it in paperback or hardcover for half that.

I've got picrel as well as the NIV Student Bible, which I find to be a quite a satisfying combination even if incongruous.

It literally is, it's meant to introduce Catholic interpretations of the Bible to the layman. Explaining your religion is the definition of apologetics.

Technically, it's catechesis, but there's a lot of overlap.

No, it literally isn't. To apologize is to defend.
