Format:Hardcover
The New Jerusalem Bible is the version which I have chosen and recommend. The NJB evokes for me Jerome's Vulgate that he produced in the Holy Land and which is also a dynamic equivalence translation. The NJB belongs to the Nouvelle Théologie of the mainly French scholars who paved the way for the renewal witnessed at the Second Vatican Council (1962-65). The biblical renewal seen at the council was largely thanks to the Dominican M.J. Lagrange's École Biblique in Jerusalem whose original Bible de Jérusalem set the standard for subsequent editions. The École Biblique is one of only two Catholic colleges (along with the Biblicum in Rome) that awards the Sacred Scripture Doctorate (S.S.D.). The notes and other study material in the NJB are from the aforementioned Jerusalem Bible school: fine conservative scholarship, moderate in historico-criticism and displaying neither liberal scepticism nor mindless fundamentalism. The translation into English is wonderful and has been praised as the most poetic since the King James Version. The style is definitely scholarly and has been called more "British" than even the Revised English Bible (REB). I like the use of the Hebrew Divine names and applaud the scholarly usage of the varied textual sources including the Dead Sea Scrolls. The translation is loftier and more literal than the original Jerusalem Bible (1966) and its accuracy has been praised even by the Orthodox. The NJB is the only major contemporary English language (not American) Catholic Bible.

As a born again Christian, I was somewhat skeptical of the Catholic format. After reading and comparing it to the KJV and NIV my feelings turned to admiration. This is a well done mondern tranlation of the Holy Scriptures. The Hebrew and Aramaic translations are superior and the Greek translations acceptable. This has now become my referance Bible of choice. A must have for any Christian believer!!

At last--the complete text of the New Jerusalem Bible in a sturdy, hardbound volume that is pocket-sized! For a very moderate price, I can now carry the wonderful NJB translation with me when I travel. Although the extensive notes and charts have been reduced, the editors have kept key supplementary pieces to enrich reading and prayer with the Scriptures.
