I recently purchased this program for my handheld palm not realizing it does not have the Bible that I was given by my parrish priest as a choice. The choices ar the King James Version or American Standard Version, World English Bible, Darby New Translation or Young’s Literal Translation. Are any of these exceptable or close to New American Bible or other exceptable
versions Thanks for all your imput & God Bless::

None of these are acceptable as your primary reference Bible, which should be a Catholic translation.

While it is often useful to have a number of translations for comparing and contrasting purposes, an approved Catholic Bible should be your basis.

No, these would not generally be acceptable since most editions of the KJV do not come with the deuterocanonical books; the other’s you mention don’t include these books at all.

As you’ll find out from this Forum, many of us do not like the NAB, but prefer either the Douay-Rheims or the Revised Standard Version - Catholic edition.

Depending on the software, it may be possible to get the KJV w/Apocrypha (you would have all the books, just not in the same order). But I would suggest taking the software back because e-Sword has the Douay-Rheims, the KJV (with Apocrypha), the Latin Vulgate, plus many other translations available for free. I would recommend the RSV-CE as the hard copy Catholic Bible.

This is off topic, but, the term “Apocrypha” to describe the deuterocanon is a protestant device. Apocrypha are not inspired writings, the deuterocanon is inspired.

Oh, I know that. I was just explaining that it is possible to find a Protestant Bible that has the Deuterocanonical books, but they will be called Apocrypha by the Protestants. Although the KJV Apocrypha does include books that are Apocrypha to Catholics as well (Prayer of Manasseh, Psalm 151, 1 & 2 Esdras); the Orthodox consider those books to be Scripture but Catholics and Protestants do not.
