This is a special episode, one of our guest explaining episodes,

and I'm excited to be joined with Mr. Curtis Mitch from Ignatius. Curtis, welcome.

Hi, Father. Thanks for having me. Good to be here. All right. John, it's delighted to talk about

this because I'm a Protestant convert and we're talking about the Bible. And before we get into that, though, you are the principal annotator, it says.

So it sounds like a cool, like gloss.

You're like an old scribe.

An associate editor of the Ignatius Study Bible series.

I'm going to hold up this giant the series, but this is the Ignatian Study Bible, holding up this thing. This comes in at just

over 2,300 pages, everyone, but we're going to talk, we're going to go through each one in the pages

individually, and then we'll, so this will be a little bit of long form. No, we're talking about this,

but you're also a research fellow of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology and the Biblical

commentators here, a man of the Bible, which means that you, in the Catholic world, have some

association with Scott Hahn. So, Curtis, could you just tell us a little about your, you know,

how you got involved in this Bible, this massive second, the Ignatius Study Bible, how

you got involved with Dr. Hahn, a little bit of the intro for that.

Yeah, sure. So it was back in the late 1990s when I was a student at Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio.

And I was one of Scott's students, and he had asked me to be his teaching assistant for his

Old Testament class, because I was kind of, I was kind of a Bible guy. That was just my orientation.
