Jerusalem Bible – Classic Catholic Scripture Translation
The Jerusalem Bible is one of the most respected Catholic Bible translations of the modern era. First published in 1966 and translated directly from the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts, the Jerusalem Bible is known for its literary beauty, scholarly accuracy, and extensive study notes. It quickly became a widely used translation for Catholic study, prayer, and teaching.
