New Jerusalem Bible

The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) is a Catholic translation of the Bible published in 1985. The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) has become the most widely used Roman Catholic Bible outside of the United States. It has the imprimatur of Cardinal George Basil Hume.Like its predecessor, the Jerusalem Bible, the New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) version is translated "directly from the Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic." The 1973 French translation, the Bible de Jerusalem, is followed only "where the text admits to more than one interpretation." Introductions and notes, with some modifications, are taken from the Bible de Jerusalem.

The audiobook is great and really helpful. The font of the text is very eye friendly. Praise the Lord and thanks for putting this together

The book of Sirach is also called Eccesiacticus. That is why you can't find it.

Christ our Lord is at the door. Let us continue to watch and pray never ending for us and for the world, which is, in much need.

So glad to find the Catholic version. Won't download or open. Just keeps pending. Very disappointed ☹️.

And. C. Feb 4, 2018

Very good on the whole but I seek better textual tranlations rather than mere colours with the updates and hopefully added reference notes with explanations as in the printed version.
