New Spanish-language Bible for youths introduced

[stumbler]

CHICAGO (CNS) – Leaders and supporters of Instituto Fe y Vida celebrated the publication of a Spanish-language Bible for youths in the Americas June 17. At a breakfast held in conjunction with the U.S. bishops’ mid-June meeting in Chicago, they spoke about the recent launch of La Biblia Catolica Para Jovenes (The Catholic Bible for Youth) and honored some of the U.S. bishops and other leaders who helped make it possible. Before La Biblia was first introduced at a Los Angeles archdiocesan religious education congress this February, there was no version of the Bible in Spanish aimed specifically at adolescents and young adults, said the Instituto Fe y Vida (Institute for Faith and Life). Fe y Vida, based in Stockton, Calif., coordinated the project and pulled together the funding for it, including a major grant from the Knights of Columbus.

Thanks for the link, ToddEaston, I just ordered the Bible. It looks fantastic! I’m not exactly a youth (39) or Latino, but I read Spanish and love the color, fonts, graphics, info boxes, charts, etc. of the English version of the Catholic Youth Bible. The format is so much more stimulating and engaging than regular Bibles, though the text is the same (NAB).
