A Word from Bishop Barron
The Word on Fire Bible is a groundbreaking new series introducing readers to the strange, colorful world of the Bible. It was designed to appeal not just to Christians, but to nonbelievers, searchers, and those with far more questions than answers. When you open up The Word on Fire Bible, you will experience a feast for the imagination and the heart as well as for the mind and the soul.
When you attend a liturgy at a beautiful cathedral, you hear the Word of God proclaimed from the pulpit. However, the Word is clarified by the surrounding experience—the architecture, the art, the stained glass windows, the icons. You’ll have a similar encounter with God’s Word as you make your way through The Word on Fire Bible. Evangelical in its purpose, illuminating in its words, and distinct in its beauty, this is not a regular bible; it is a cathedral in print. It doesn’t simply present a collection of stories for Christians; it invites you, whatever your background, to enter into the story of Christ.
+Bishop Robert Barron

Bible
Unfortunately no, we only have the Word on Fire Bible (Volume III): The Pentateuch available in English.
No, this is not a full bible. Volume III of the Word on Fire Bible includes the first five books of the Old Testament: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
The Word on Fire Bible uses the New Revised Standard Version: Catholic Edition (NRSV-CE), which first appeared in 1989 and has received wide acclaim from academics and Church leaders.
The translation received the imprimatur of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops in 1991, granting official approval for Catholic use in private study and devotional reading.
The NRSV-CE stands out among other translations because of its accuracy and readability. It is “as literal as possible” in adhering to the ancient texts and only “as free as necessary” to make the meaning clear in graceful, understandable English.
It’s a wonderful translation—both for those who have never read the Bible and for those who have studied it for years.
Volume III will be printed and released in Summer 2023. The creative process of compiling Volume IV of the Word on Fire Bible is already underway!
The Word on Fire Bible Volume III: The Pentateuch features text in a 9pt font, which is larger than in most other Bibles and offers significant line spacing to allow for an easier reading experience.
