Known as the Anchor Yale Bible after 2008, this series was begun in 1963 as a project of Protestant, Catholic and Jewish scholars. Eighty-six volumes have been published and many older commentaries have been replaced by new editions. The volumes vary in quality and some of the first published are becoming outdated. Each volume contains an original translation, annotations and variants; sets the historical, critical, and literary evolution of the text; provides a detailed outline; a verse by verse commentary; an analysis of various interpretative approaches; presents the historical background including authorship and dating; and provides an extensive bibliography of primary and secondary literature.

The series is ongoing with published volumes being revised as necessary and at times older volumes replaced by new works to present the latest in biblical scholarship. A subset of the collection is available on CD at the library service desk.

This series provides the complete English (Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition) and Latin (New Vulgate) texts of each book of the Bible, plus extensive and faithfully Catholic explanations of the scriptural texts. Compiled by the faculty of the University of Navarre, the commentaries draw on a variety of sources: Church documents, the writings of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, and the work of prominent modern spiritual writers, chiefly St. Josemaria Escriva, who initiated this project.
