E' una versione della bibbia facile da leggere e capire, usata nelle altre chiese, non solo quella cattolica. Paperback version of The New Jerusalem Bible is recognised as one of today’s most accurate, clear and modern translations, the fruit of long collaboration between leading biblical scholars. The personal size gift edition of the New American Bible Revised Edition by Catholic Book Publishing is better to carry around than this edition of The Jerusalem Bible. TJB has always been one of my favorite translations because it’s accurate (it’s easy to ignore and overlook obvious doctrinal biases when they occasionally appear), it’s hasn’t been dumbed down but actually challenges the reader to study and pray about what God is saying. The Revised New Jerusalem Bible has been prepared and edited by The Revd Henry Wansbrough OSB, who was previously General Editor of the New Jerusalem Bible.

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. With language as exquisite but more modern than the King James Version, THE JERUSALEM BIBLE is the one they can trust.All materials contained on this site, whether written, audible or visual are the exclusive property of Catholic Online and are protected under U. The Jerusalem Bible translation is a VERY dynamic translation, it’s a “thought-for-thought” translation vs “word-for-word” translation. It took me some time to figure that system out, and I am sure new users of The Jerusalem Biblewill find the same. It contains the full bible, with special features to help you understand and navigate the text:a glossary, with verse references, explaining key terms and themes, a chronological history, showing biblical events against contemporary world rulers and dynasties, an index of persons with verse references, brief introductions to every book, and almost 200 footnotes on key words and concepts. I like the Jerusalem Bible translation, but this edition is honestly more of Bible for home study, for those who want to read and use a Catholic translation with a separate commentary.

This French translation served as the impetus for an English translation in 1966, the Jerusalem Bible. Saw this listed in a list of 'must reads' for conservatives and thought, how could a translation of the good book be on this list?e. not an ebible) and the "extra bits" are all in italics which makes it helpful to know which is what.

Since the launch of the Jerusalem Bible more than fifty years ago, one of the most important elements of the JB and the NJB has been their comprehensive study footnotes and book introductions.

For the majority of the books, the English translation was a translation of the Hebrew and Greek texts; in passages with more than one interpretation, the interpretation chosen by the French translators is generally followed. In 1943 Pope Pius XII issued an encyclical letter, Divino afflante Spiritu, which encouraged Catholics to translate the scriptures from the Hebrew and Greek texts, rather than from Jerome's Latin Vulgate. This volume contains the entire biblical text with introductions by Revd Henry Wansbrough OSB to every book. I am only giving the perspective on this specific Bible in comparison with Bibles I have already reviewed on The Catholic Man Reviews. This decision was based on translating or reinstating the earliest known copy of parts of the Old Testament found at Qumran in 1947 (the Dead Sea Scrolls), dating to about the second century BCE.

As a Catholic Bible, it includes 73 books: the 39 books shared with the Hebrew Bible, along with the seven deuterocanonical books, as the Old Testament, and the 27 books shared by all Christians as the New Testament.

The biblical text remains unchanged, but the notes and introductions to each book have been shortened, and the Index of Persons and Chronological Table simplified. The 1973 French translation, the Bible de Jérusalem, is followed only where the text admits to more than one interpretation. The revised text is accompanied by new introductions, and textual and liturgical notes, supplemented as needed with material from the notes to the New Jerusalem Bible.
