My new attitude about the New American Bible, Revised Edition

[Bible_Reader]

The Nova Vulgata is the juridicial text of the Western Rite of the Catholic Church.

This is true. But the *NABRE *is not approved for the lectionary. It is a Bible for study.

Imagine that one is talking with a reader who can read Hebrew and Greek. Would one argue that because the Nova Vulgata sometimes disagrees with the original language material, one should avoid the original language versions for study purposes?

Also when it comes to deuterocanoncial books most modern translations have much that has been deleted compared to the Douay Rheims Challoner translation.

This is true, but this relates to the fact that we have so many different Septuagint manuscripts that disagree with each other. The same problem occurs to a lesser extent in the New Testament (e.g., consider the “Longer Ending to Mark”). The shorter Deuterocanonical sections correspond to we believe are better manuscripts. If you are interested in seeing how the different sources interact and give dramatically different versions, I recommend consulting the New English Translation of the Septuagint which attempts to list the major variations (and often has to split into parallel texts as a result.
