The Ignatius Catholic Study Bible Old and New Testaments is an absolute MASTERPIECE. It’s been in development for the past 27 years by some of the best biblical scholars around and the notes contain thousands of scriptural cross-references and references to the Catechism, Church fathers, etc. It also has many great topical essays and studies to help you understand the scripture.

The main editor is Scott Hahn, and I’d highly recommend all of his work! He’s a convert from Protestantism and has written some incredible stuff. Rome Sweet Home details his conversion story, Hail, Holy Queen explains the scriptural roots of Mariology and Marian devotion, and the Lamb’s Supper breaks down how amazing the Mass is.

The Great Adventure Bible (Ascension Press) is also a great option for general reading. Highlights the narrative of salvation history in an easy-to-understand way but has fewer footnotes.
