The word of God is something alive and active: it cuts like any double-edged sword but more finely: it can slip through the place where the soul is divided from the spirit, or joints from the marrow; it can judge the secret emotions and thoughts. Hebrews 4:12 The Jerusalem Bible is a modern English translation of the Bible that invites us to deepen our understanding of God. First introduced in 1966, it quickly became the most accepted Catholic translation of the Bible throughout much of the English-speaking world, and has been widely adopted for use at Mass. It remains one of the most-used Bible translations in the world today.

About this product

Product Information

The Jerusalem Bible text is a version in modern English which keeps as close as possible to the literal meaning of the ancient texts from which it has been translated. Very brief introductions are provided to indicate the historical setting of each book, and a small number of short footnotes to clarify only the literal meaning of the text without attempting interpretation. The Jerusalem Bible first appeared in 1966 and was the work of a team of scholars (including J. R. R. Tolkien) under the direction of Father Alexander Jones, influenced by La Bible de Jerusalem - a French translation of the Bible produced by the French Biblical School in Jerusalem. It was hailed as a masterpiece of textual accuracy and modern style. This compact Popular Edition, first published in 1968, is designed for the general reader. It has short footnotes explaining key details and is an excellent resource for everyone.

  • Missing books in the Bible.

    It’s a good Bible certainly more in this than the KJV although we yet to get a complete version. So many books hidden like the book of jubilees and the book of Enoch.
