ReviewsPraise for THE JERUSALEM BIBLE (1966 edition): "This is one of those really monumental works.--There is just nothing like it in English, and I will not live long enough to see anything like it."--Father J. L. McKenzie, President, Society of Biblical Literature

SynopsisWhen it comes to Bible translations, readability and reliability are what count; and on both counts, the original JERUSALEM BIBLE stands alone. A product of the age of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), THE JERUSALEM BIBLE (published in 1966) was the first truly modern Bible for Catholics. Using definitive original language texts such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, biblical scholars of L' cole Biblique in Jerusalem produced a meticulously accurate, wonderfully readable French translation of the complete canon of Scripture (La Bible de J rusalem). From this French original came the English edition, edited by renowned Bible scholar Alexander Jones. For all the people around the world who are discovering or revisiting the mysteries contained in the Scriptures, only a clear, understandable Bible translation will do. With language as exquisite but more modern than the King James Version, THE JERUSALEM BIBLE is the one they can trust., When it comes to Bible translations, readability and reliability are what count; and on both counts, the original JERUSALEM BIBLE stands alone.

  • Jerusalem Bible Readers Edition

    I like the old testament because the name of God, Yahweh, is used. The quality of the print is good, it's not to small, about a size 8 font, I have to wear reading glasses for everything anyway, so I just pick a higher magnification and it's very legible but obviously the publisher didn't to make the print perfect, it's maybe a copy of the text from a full size Jerusalem bible It has a sewn spine so it lays flat which is a big deal to me. There is about an average amount of "bleed through" between pages

  • the New Jerusalem Bible

    This Bible is easy to read, both in content and font. It is more understandable than other translations. From what I understand, this is the Bible type that Mother Angelica of EWTN used herself. If it is good enough for Mother Angelica, it is most certainly good enough for me!

  • New Jerusalem Bible

    Great book, cover was detached from book upon arrival, not large print as suggested, no columns as in regular bibles so it is a bigger book if you are looking for it to fit in a case. Would I buy it again, yes, but not for the purpose intended.
