Each of these time periods is introduced in the GACB with an informative yet accessible essay that summarizes the events of this period, overviews the biblical content, and discusses key themes. The timeline and essays also note key events and covenants which are explained in call out boxes or other essays. The key events work well in helping readers know where to find those monumental moments of Scripture. In addition to these features, the GACB has a helpful introduction to the GACB itself, an essay on how to read Scripture, an introduction to the practice of lectio divina, and a plan to read the Bible to best grasp salvation history.
The good news is that there are several excellent Catholic study Bibles, each with unique strengths. Protestants are often thought to have the best biblical resources available. But as I hope this survey shows, we Catholics are truly blessed. For those who are pursuing more academic or research oriented study of Scripture, we do await the completion of the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible. But for beginning to intermediate readers of Scripture, who primarily read Scripture devotionally or in parish Bible studies, the Great Adventure Catholic Bible is clearly the best choice.

I have an original copy of the Catholic Serendipity Bible for personal and small group study by Zondervan Press. This bible Was very good with many felt needed subject group study. Was this ever published as version on Kindle or the internet that can be used for my small prayer group at my parish. Do you know of a good Catholic version?
Whether any versions of the Bible are translated in such a way that the language might mislead readers from the true faith, Martignoni advised avoiding the Jehovah Witnesses bible and versions that try to use contemporary language, such as the Good News Bible.
Brant Pitre, Distinguished Research Professor of Scripture at the Augustine Institute in Denver, believes the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition is the best English translation of the Bible for Catholics.
St. Jerome, whose feast day is Sept. 30, is a giant in the intellectual history of the church. He is best known for translating the Bible from its original Hebrew and Greek into Latin, and his translation, called the Vulgate, remained the most commonly used version of scripture for over 1,100 years.
I am looking for a Catholic bible. I don't. Know how to go about finding the one I need. Can someone please help me? I see many bibles but I thought there was only one and translated to all these different languages. But I see theres many versions. Help please!
Hi, Fr this is an interesting article. I am on the look out for a bible and my Mgr told me either NRSV Catholic or Jerusalem is appropriate. I have just got back into the faith and would love a great bible to read each day. I am confused and not sure which bible is best. I was thinking about the Harpers NRSV Standard but the front looks a bit ugly. Do you have any recommendations? God bless, Kim - Australia.
I am of catholic faith, but sadly have never read the bible. I enjoy mass, but the homily has always been my favorite because I can easily relate to the messages or the interpretation of the readings. I would really like a version of the bible I can understand, perhaps with notes or study material. Can anyone recommend a suitable version?
Crystal,
Greetings and welcome to this site. If you search a bit you will find numerous reviews about the many bible options you have. In your case, I would recommend either the Little Rock Catholic Study Bible or the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible New Testament. Both provide a ton of information, particularly for those who are just getting started. God bless!
Hello Timothy,
How are you? I have struggled with the concept of religious faith for a long time. I have relatives who are Methodist and go to church every Sunday, but I live way out in the country in a different state and, although I love and respect them, I don't agree with many of their political viewpoints. I have seen what narrow-mindedness due to religion can do, and I really don't like that. I know that not all religious people are like this, and that it is not religion that causes this issues but human nature. Anyhow, I have been to Catholic mass a few times, and I felt very connected to the religion and as if I believed most of the values being taught. I have a lot of doubt sometimes, and have trouble getting over this. Also, many of my friends are not religious, and I often feel judged if I tell them I am, which makes me feel very self conscious, and a bit guilty, even though I know I shouldn't be. Long story short, I am planning to start going to mass again and be more consistent this time, but I want to do it the right way, and I have little experience with Catholicism. I have an old copy of the Jerusalem Bible at home and want to start studying a Catholic edition of the bible, but am not sure if that would be the one to start with or not? It is a very old edition as well. So, which version would you recommend for personal study for someone who is very new to the religion? Also, I get very self conscious about what to wear to mass when I do go. I live in a very remote area and I am not used to dressing up. What do people generally wear when they go? Are jeans acceptable if they are nice ones? Thank you in advance!
I have been praying with several apps on the road and have definitely enjoyed the Kindle version of our lovely new daily devotional The Catholic Mom's Prayer Companion. But I just couldn't shake my desire to pray with a "real" bible instead of an app. I love to take notes, to highlight, to date my Bible and even just to sit quietly reading it randomly.
So I went to my normal "think tank", my social media contacts, for their suggestion on the best roadworthy Bible. After having a few friends follow up with me to ask about my purchase, I thought I'd share my new "road kit" with you:

In light of this, I can confidently say that recent printings of both the paperback and imitation leather editions feature a sewn binding. When I reviewed the first edition in 2018, the binding was the only physical weakness in a bible that used high-quality materials in every other respect. It was a glaring weakness, though, because glued bindings traditionally do not hold up to long-term use as well as sewn bindings. There were Catholic bibles on the market for nearly half the price of the Great Adventure Bible that still featured a sewn binding. In light of that, I found it difficult to recommend the Great Adventure Bible to a general audience.
Bible App (Free) Apple, Android, Kindle Fire Developers, say this is the #1 Bible app in the world. That may be true given the hundreds of Bibles available for you to choose from in more than 1,000 languages. Some of the Bibles are approved Catholic versions like NAB-RE and Douay Rheims. Internet connection is needed to use most content in this app, but some Bibles are imbedded in the app so you can read them off line. Unfortunately, none of the imbedded bibles in English are Catholic editions. Audio Bibles are available but not downloadable. These include Douay Rheims. Study tools include reading plans, search capability, note taking, highlighting and bookmarking capability.
iMissal Catholic Bible for Apple [iPhone/iPad/iPodTouch] ($9.99) You get the New American Bible (NABre), the Catholic Bible readings we use at Mass (in the United States) come from this translation. No WIFI is necessary, so the entire Bible can be read offline and available for immediate use. It has all the bells and whistles you want in a Bible app. This app is from the makers of iMissal and is designed to be integrated with the iMissal app. However, even if you pay for the iMissal app, you still have to purchase this separate Bible ($9.99). That is still a great deal for a fully downloadable Catholic Bible, and the best part is it integrates directly with iMissal so that you can jump from Mass readings and Bible verses directly into iMissal Bible for full contextual reference. FEATURES: * Entire New American Bible (NABre) * No WIFI necessary * Works on both iPhone and iPad * Includes Footnotes and Endnotes * Fully searchable by word, phrase, verse. Filterable. * Share scripture via social media (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Email) * Multiple Display Modes (Day, Night, Sepia) * User Font typeface and size selection * Highlight text using multiple colors * Bookmarks * Book Ribbons * Verses on separate lines setting * Multiple Paging Options (flick, vertical and horizontal paging) * Create your own Notes for later reference * View FootNotes without interrupting reading flow * History tracking * Reading Plans.
Hi. A Douay-Rheims version is listed. That is Catholic. Unfortunately, that is the only Catholic Bible listed. Also, if you look closely at the logo on the bible ribbon, you will see that cane handle with keyhole. So I think we are talking about the same app. Thanks for sharing this concern!
But your best bet, I would think, is the 1986 edition of the New American Bible; that is the only translation approved for liturgical use at Masses in the United States, and so the wording would be familiar to you.
