I did a Catholic Bible in a Year challenge this year, and I used my confirmation Bible to accomplish it. I started reading it in January and finished on 10 December 2021.

This Bible really helped me understand the meaning of each book and its relation to the Church and its teachings, as it had basic details of the books and side notes on the importance of events!

I recommend using this copy of the Bible!

okay so to clarify i read this for the plot/story NOT for religious purposes. i think most of my fascination with christianity and catholicism in general is how it effects people and everything that has happened after so like i’m more interested in the historical impacts. old testament was not my fav in general but the best gospels for me personally were matthew and john. revelation 17:4 5 is maybe one of the best descriptions i’ve read ever but the rest of the book was significantly lacking
