I just read that it is basically the “Jerusalem Bible” with the Grail Psalms. Good Job!!. Finally another good modern Catholic bible along with the RSV CE. You can order it from the Catholic Truth Society in the UK.👍
 
I may have to look into that one. I pretty much read either Douay-Rheims or Jerusalem anymore. Mosly Douay-Rheims. I sort of lost interest in the New American.
 
Yes, this is the original Jerusalem Bible translation, but with two important differences:

(i) As mentioned above it uses the ‘Grail’ translation of the Psalms.

(ii) The divine name ‘Yahweh’ is changed to ‘the LORD’ throughout the Old Testament. An improvement in my opinion.
 
Indeed, this is nice!

But do I truly need another Bible? There are so many sitting on my shelf which I barely touch as it is. I keep turning to my old compact RSV-CE.

I for one will buy it when I can. I enjoy the Jerusalem Bible, and the changes with the Psalms and the divine name are welcome.

This edition I understand also comes with new commentary notes.

I look forward to it.
 
The RSV-CE hasn’t sold me yet. Jerusalem Bible so far after Douay-Rheims has been the only ones that feel good to me to use. I still would like to read any version of the Catholic Bible and use version to compare
 
Two words: BUY IT!

I got it as soon as I could, because I had just bought the original Jerusalem Bible because it is used in the British Lectionary, but then the CTS published this version which matches the lectionary in England and Wales exactly by using the Grail Psalms and the title Lord insteadof Yahweh.

A truly beautiful bible with good maps in the endpapers, great footnotes and cross-references, also great tools such as the tables at the back for weekday and sunday readings so you can look any day of the year up and find its readings. lso a directory of all the readings for the Liturgy of the Hours. Very handy!

A ‘must’ for any Catholic in the age of the dreaded NAB (But even more of a must for us in the UK as its our ‘official’ Bible!)

The compact version is exactly the same as the standard, so you can carry it round quite easily and use it on a daily basis. Comes highly recomended from me, search my posts because I’ve recommended it a fair few times round here. I hope it brings someone else the joy it brings me upon regular reads.

Matt
 
I bought it a couple of months ago and can highly recommend it too. 👍
 
on a sidenote the ‘presentation edition’ makes a lovely bible, not even for presentations! real leather and guilt ages, very nice.
 
How is the print size, and the size of the gutter? Is it easy physically to read?

I am sold on all of the other features…
 
You may want to contact CTS regarding print size, there was a .pdf sample page on their old site but it appears this is no longer available.

Personally I am comfortable with the print size in the standard edition (the presentation edition is the same size) but the compact edition can be a struggle for the older reader perhaps. I can scan you a page at some point but I’m not at my PC right now.

Matt
 
Maybe this could be the translation used to replace the NAB here in the US. I hope they start selling this in the US.👍
 
CTS sent me the PDF Brochure if anyone would like to see more details about this Bible dont hesitate to PM me with your email address and I can email it to you.

Matt 16:18

So I now say to you: You are Peter and on this rock I will build my Church. And the gates of the underworld can never hold out against it.

Luke 1:28

He went in and said to her, “Rejoice, so highly favoured The Lord is with you”.

John 6:54-58; 8:58

Jn 6:54-58
anyone who does eat my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life, and I shall raise him on on the last day.
For my flesh is real food and my blood real drink.
He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me and I live in him. As I, who am sent by the living Father, myself draw life from the Father, so whoever eats me will draw life from me. this is the bread come down from heaven: not like the bread our ancestors ate: they are dead, but anyone who eats this bread will live for ever.

8:58
I tell you most solemnly, before Abraham ever was, I Am.

Romans 7:15-20

I cannot understand my own behaviour. I fail to carry out the things I want to do, and I find myself doing the very things I hate. When I act against my own will, that means I have a self that acknowledges that the Law is good and so the thing behaving in that way is not my self but sin living in me. the fact is, I know of nothing good living in me–living, that is, in my unspiritual self–for though the will to do what is good is in me, the performance is not, with the result that instead of doing the good things I want to do, I carry out the sinful things I do not want. When I act against my will, then, it is not my true self doing it but sin which lives in me.

I need to leave now so I will continue later.

I am back now

1 Cor 6:18a; 10:13; 15:44,49-50
1 Cor. 6:18
Keep away from fornication. All other sins are committed outside the body; but to fornicate is to sin against your own body.

10:13
The trials that you have had to bear are no more than people normally have. You can trust God not to let you be tried beyond your strength, and with any trial he will give you a way out of it and the strength to bear it.

15:44
when it is sown it embodies the soul, when it is raised in embodies the spirit.

15:49-50

And we, who have been modelled on the earthly man, will be modelled on the heavenly man. Or else brothers, brothers, put it this way: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God: and the perishable cannot inherit what lasts forever.

1 Col 1:15-20 Do you mean Col. 1:15-20?

1 John 5:16-17

If anybody sees his brother commit a sin that is not a deadly sin, he has only to pray, and God will give life to the sinner–not those who commit a deadly sin;for there is a sin that is death, and I will not say that you must pray about that.
Every kind of wrong doing is sin,but not all sin is deadly.

Also, what does the Grail Psalms read for

I don’t have the Grail Psalms so I can’t help you here.

Psalm 1:1
Psalm 23:1

Thanks to anyone who can help me in this regard.

Psalm 1:1Happy indeed is the man
who follows not the counsel of the wicked,
nor lingers in the way of sinners
nor sits in the company of scorners,

Psalm 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want.
