Because English is a Protestant dominated culture and language (Church of England, King James).If this is true, then why do people not have the full bible, I mean how come the full bible isn’t in mass print like KJV or NIT are?
Iranaeus, Tertullian, Clement Alexandria, Cyprian, Eusebius, Athanasius, Cyril of Jerusalem, Gregory Nazianzus, Amphilochius, Epiphanius, Augustine and many others quoted them as Scripture. Origen prefered the Hebrew text, but stated that the Church had spoken and it was not his place “to remove the boundary mark the Fathers had set up.” Even Jerome, who knocked over those boundary mark, included them in his translation.You are wrong. Most of the Early Church fathers did NOT accept the apocrypha as cannonized Scripture. Many early church fathers were in disagreement with Catholic church teaching for that matter as well. Look at what St Thomas Aquinas said concerning the Immaculate Conception.
The New Oxford Annotated Bible with the Apocrypha [sic] has them. RSV.It is. Among the currently available versions of the Catholic Bible:
The Douay-Rheims
The Confraternity Edition
The New American Bible
The Jerusalem Bible
The New Jerusalem Bible
The Revised Standard Version - Catholic Edition
The New Revised Standard Version
Today’s English Version (The Good New Bible)
In the South, most bookstores are run by Protestants, and so they generally will not carry Catholic Bibles. (Some might include the Deuterocanonicals in a section called “Apocrypha”) However, ANY regular bookstore, like Barnes and Noble, Borders, Books-a-Million, and so on, should carry them. In fact, the Catholic Bible is the best-selling book worldwide of ALL TIME.
You should be able to find one in a larger secular bookstore, you can also order one online. Failing all else, you can always read one online; here’s a link for one: drbo.org/I seriously doubt that, no offense, but I have never seen a Catholic Bible, and I have been in Christian Bookstores all over the south, and some in north.
The most common here is KJV.
um, codeword? lolBut… if you didn’t know that there was a difference (which many people don’t), you wouldn’t know to look for it. “Christian” bookstore is usually a codeword for “Protestant Christian” bookstore. Catholic bookstores usually identify themselves as Catholic, and as a Baptist, you wouldn’t have had much cause to go into one before, assuming that you could even find one in the South…
The KJV is probably the most famous English version of the Bible, mainly because of its poetic language. Even most Catholics have heard of it, even if we don’t use it.
Do you mean all Protestants, like all 33,000+ denominations of them?Because English is a Protestant dominated culture and language (Church of England, King James).
I have Greek, Romanian and Russian Bibles, and they have the full set, as those countries are Orthodox. I assume the same would be for Spanish Bibles, that is those not by the Protestants.
Most.Do you mean all Protestants, like all 33,000+ denominations of them?
