I just wanted to invite readers who enjoy the Douay Rheims version of the bible to visit http://www.credobiblestudy.com and click on “Read the Bible”

This presentation of the DRB offers many features.
  1. Cross References
  2. Commentary (Haydock presently)
  3. Dore and Carolsfeld wood cuts
  4. Atlas location to satellite maps
  5. Concordance, both moral (St Anthony) and scriptural.
  6. Highlighting of Jesus’ words
  7. Searchable
  8. Mobile compatible.
I made this website a decade ago as part of the New Evangelization, and I recently updated it after a hiatus of several years. I have a long list of ongoing improvements. So it is still a work in progress.

Unfortunately, due to copyright restrictions, I have no plans for adding NABRE, RSV-CE, etc. So I figured I would focus on making the DRB the best it can be. Not too complicated, but with a rich feature set.

I hope you all enjoy!

I’ve looked at both sites. You’ve been busy! I appreciate all the work that you’ve done and thank you both for creating the sites and for telling us about them.

The one curved piece of land reminded me of an alligator with its head curved to the right. 😀 Sort of like this chameleon 🦎 without the flipping tail, and with legs under water.

Thanks, again!

Edited to add that the emoji on my phone and in what I’ve typed, has the head going to the right, and the tail going to the left, but reversed position when it appeared on the thread. Very curious!

I use this website. It is the D-R Bible with Haydock commentary.
Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary, 1859 edition.

Oh that website is long gone, you are using the wayback machine to access the cached version. But I guess it still works well enough. The Haydock commentary is embedded in the site I linked as well if you click on the bookmark icon at the end of the verse. Eventually, it will have others commentaries as well. The Catena Aurea and Cornelius Lapide are on the to do list. But it will take a ton of work ocr scanning and proofing a public domain translation.

Yes it works well. I have not had any problems with it.
 
One other feature I wanted to point out , that people might find useful, is embedding verses in your posts on the forum.

If you click on the tiny red verse number for the verse you are interested in posting, as in the screenshot below …

(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

It will bring you to a page where it will provide you with the ability to cut and paste a verse with its commentary and cross references right into the forum. You can toggle with checkboxes if you only want the verse or some combination of the others.

(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

And when you paste it into your forum post it will look as below…

Holy Bible (Douay Rheims)
Jn 1:5 • ‘And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.’

Reference:
Jn 9:5 • ‘As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.’
Jn 12:46 • ‘I am come a light into the world; that whosoever believeth in me, may not remain in darkness.’

Commentary:
Ver. 5. And the light shineth, or did shine, in darkness. Many understand this, that the light of reason, which God gave to every one, might have brought them to the knowledge of God by the visible effects of his Providence in this world: but the darkness did not comprehend it, because men, blinded by their passions, would not attend to the light of reason. Or we may again understand it, with Maldonatus, of the lights of grace, against which obstinate sinners wilfully shut their eyes. Wi.

How timely. Thank you so much for this. I also love how you’ve set out the Rosary in both English and Latin. I’m learning to say the Rosary in Latin, but this is the first time I’ve seen all the prayers (eg including the Fatima prayer) all together.

I haven’t had time to really explore, but it looks amazing so far. I especially like the fact that Our Lord’s words are in a different colour.

I shall definitely use this and recommend it further. I shall definitely offer prayers of gratitude for you today. Thank you!

@Jessie
I am happy that you like it. Thanks for sharing it, and the prayers:) When you put this much effort into something and its appreciated, it helps erase the doubts I had about the investment of time I made.

@adamhovey1988
Your welcome Adam! Enjoy!

@Minks
No problem. I might mention a few more tips in the coming days.
 
One more tip. You can see bibles in parallel.

(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

If you go to settings, you can select one or more scripture languages.

If you want to change the UI language you can click on the flags at the top. Though not everything is translated yet, many things are and the rest will be in time.

Enjoy!

PS: The clementine vulgate has the Glossa Ordinaria commentary.
 
It’s nice but I wish the books were in the order the Douay Rheims has them, and also the apocrypha which was in the original Douay Rheims that was taken out after the Challoner revision in 1752 and is in the Clementine Vulgate appendix would be cool if you had on the site.

Thanks for your feedback! If you look at the book links on the margins, they are in the DRB order, and you can switch between RSV names and the traditional names in the settings if you like.

(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

The Deuterocanonical books are there. Tobias, Judith, 1/2 Machabees, Baruch, Sirach, Wisdom. Normally those are referred to as the apocrypha by other faiths. But from the link I see you mean the Prayer of Manasses, and 3/4 Esdras. My Clementine Vulgate (Colunga Turrado) and some of the PDF of ones hundreds of years older don’t seem to have those. I will definitely do some research on that.

Regarding the order again, there is a page where I have them divided by Pentateuch, Historical, Major Prophets, Minor Prophets etc etc but that is more of a headline page. Most people will be using the links on the margins in the screenshot which are in the DRB order. If that is what you are referring to, I can look at adding it as a setting because you might not be the only one who feels that way.

Must be something they added at some point. Mine does. I have the 2017 edition. Note they are in the appendix after the Old Testament in it( after 2 Maccabees),which is where they were in the Douay Rheims. In the Vulgate they followed the New Testament.
