Many people put the French version right with the KJV or Luther’s Bible in literary value.

I have seen Spanish language evangelicals reluctantly recognizing that is probably the best Bible in Spanish, too bad about those nasty deuterocanonical books.🤷

I would love to get my hands on the 1966 English version.

Does anyone know when the third edition of the jerusalem bible will be in english?

Is it true that the third edition has already been released in French?

Yep, it has been out for a while. From some sparse reviews that I remember reading, it is a good step up from the second edition of it. Who knows if they will do a third edition in English.
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jerusalem_Bible:
The French text received a third update in 1998. The New Jerusalem Bible is being revised and the new revision will revert Yahweh to LORD, the Catholic Church having changed its mind on this issue.[citation needed]

Yes, thanks to the Knights of Columbus, you can find it here: kofc.duq.edu/scripture/

That has already been shown here in the past to not be the text from any of the Jerusalem Bibles.

Sure? All my Spanish language Catholic Bibles use Yahveh instead of Lord and is going to be really hard getting used to other thing.

Well, that is if this 3rd version ever comes out, and dependent on whether or not this specific info on the wikipedia page is accurate. In English translations, you don’t usually see Yahweh used, btw.
 
Is funny, in spanish evangelical Bibles they either use Jehovà like the Reina Valera (the Spanish KJV) or a Septuagintzed Señor (Lord) as in the NVI (the Spanish NVI).
But Spanish language Catholic Bibles tend to use Yahvè in the OT o even IHVH. I’m used to it.
 
confused:

I’m new to these software packages, and despite being comfortable with my IT skills, I’m a little perplexed, dazed and confused if you will about downloading a New Jerusalem Bible, leave alone the Jerusalem Bible or any other translation for that matter, to either e-Sword or Bible Database. Can anybody tell me where I might get a ‘e-Bible101’ type start on the software’s usage ad downloading?:
 
Unfortunately, it appears that the JB is no longer available from that source. (I wish I had known that before downloading their program!) 🤷

It is an incomplete NJB. Kind of odd that a KoC chapter has ignored the Canon and gone with the protestant reckoning of scripture.

The New Jerusalem Bible is a “Catholic” Bible. Why do you, apparently, state that this is “protestant reckoning”??

The version I have (Readers version) has a 1989 Nihil Obstat and Imprimtur. The books of this Bible are the same books recognized by the atholic church as well.

Yahweh is used in the 1966 JB.
 
Can anyone with a hardback copy verify these links?
Old Testament
New Testament
The webpage claims it is the Jerusalem Bible, but with nothing to compare it to, I’m not sure if this is authentic or not. 🤷
 
I have the New Jerusalem Bible for E-Sword but not the Jerusalem Bible. Is the Jerusalem Bible (not the New Jerusalem Bible) available for E-Sword? 🤷:confused:
 
The problem is that the original Jerusalem Bible reads far better than the New Jerusalem. AND that the TRANSLATORS NOTES are an especially valuable resource!

If you gain value from studying from different English translations, I believe the original Jerusalem Bible WITH its translators notes is invaluable.

Glad I read through and found out Doubleday has the rights - maybe I’ll try to contact them regarding electronic availability. Seems strange it wouldn’t be free if it’s no longer in print!!!

I JUST used the JB’s translators notes to answer a fellow’s question online in Google Plus!

Doubleday still publishes the Jerusalem Bible (Reader’s Edition) in hardback. It is available at bookstores and online. It does not have the extensive notes of the 1966 edition.
 
J.R.R. Tolkien was the translator of the Book of Jonah for the 1966 English edition of the Jerusalem Bible. Here’s an interesting article comparing his choices in translation to other translations. It would have been interesting to see what he would have done for the other books of the OT, if workload had permitted:
