Can someone please tell me which specific Bible or Study Bible is normally utilized in the academic research field and/or at the graduate course level? I have alternately heard the RSV, SBL, etc. and so I am not sure. Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a good Bible translation in English?
Can I perform a plenary indulgence for a non-Catholic (living) friend of mine? He is a baptized Christian and a Protestant who is currently discerning the Catholic Church. Thanks and God bless!
I'm sure I'm hardly breaking new ground here, but how do we square St. Vincent of Lerin's words from his 'Commonitory', "Moreover, in the Catholic Church itself, all possible care must be taken, that we hold that faith which has been believed everywhere, always, by all. For that is truly and in the strictest sense Catholic" with some of the Marian dogmas such as St. Mary's Assumption? We know from Church Fathers such as Epiphanius's 'Panarion' that Mary's ultimate fate was somewhat debated in the earliest years of the Church, so how can we square St. Vincent's views with the Assumption being made a dogma of the faith?
Thank you and God bless!
