Last year when I was searching for a large print Bible as a gift for my Grandmother, I was only able to find a NAB version. I purchased it and ended up keeping it because it was too heavy to give to my grandmother. The font was large but the foot notes were microscopic so it would not have helped her. (It was this verision New American Bible: St. Joseph Edition amazon.com/New-American-Bible-Joseph-Leather/dp/089942953X )

I enjoy reading the larger print Bible before I go to bed because it is easier to read after a long day in front of the computer etc.

Is NAB the only large print Catholic Bible available? Does anybody know of any other options? I saw the Douay-Rheims large print Bible at The Catholic Company, but in the PDF, the text did not look very big.

If anyone knows of any other options, please let me know.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Maria1212

Hello Maria:

The following two Bibles are real beauties, and have excellent font sizes.

For the RSV Catholic Edition see:

amazon.com/Holy-Bible-Revised-Standard-Catholic/dp/1580870619/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-3314063-0069403?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1181927771&sr=1-1

For the Douay-Rheims see:

baroniuspress.com/book.php?wid=56&bid=44

Neither of these Bibles is cheap, but both are superb quality.

Kind Regards,

Paul

Thank you for your post Paul! I hadnt seen the RSV edition. I did see the D-R version online, but couldnt figure out if the print is just “larger than normal” or acutally large print (as in large print books). I clicked the PDF to look at it, and the print font looked normal to me, but it could be the way my computer was displaying it. Do you own both, or either, of these? They do look very nice! It is a tough decision!

Sincerely,
