THIS BIBLE IS SO EASY TO READ, IT IS LIKE READING A BOOK WRITEN FOR ENJOYMENT NOT STUDY.

The New American Bible for Catholics - A Treasure!

2008-09-02
While it is disappointing that there still has to be a "Cathilic Version" of the Bible, it is encouraging that Bible scholars of all Christian denominations are increasingly working from original languages rather than only Latin or Greek (e.g. the Vulgate)translations. This edition, especially because of the expanded footnotes, gives everyone a greater understanding of the inspired Word of God.

Approved

Three Bibles, The Revised Standard Version-Catholic Edition, The Jerusalem Bible (1966) and the New American Bible (1970 edition) are approved by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Holy See for use in U.S. Catholic Churches. The New American Bible is the work of Catholic scholars and some non-catholic scholars in rendering the ancient text.
The introductions to each chapter are very informative and there are many footnotes explaining the text. Any controversy concerning the various editions of the New American Bible are a subject to be resolved by the Holy See and the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.

The Best Bible for all

Looking for a bible can be confusing, but the NAB is the best around.

It provides accurate historical notes on the each book which helps to get a better meaning of the authors intentions. This give history and meaning to the content.

It has clear content which makes it an easy read for any level of reader. This also makes it very readable with no need to desifer the text as in the King James or NIV versions.

It has great foot notes make it easy for passive reading, bible study or quick referance. It gives referance to other books and explains difficult words or give the literal translation of words. This makes the book more creditable the others.

All the books of the bible including Psalms, Gospels, the deuterocanonical books, and revelations.

This is a well research source of information provided by the bishops of the American Church. Wheather you are Catholic, Protestant, Methodist, or Evengelical you will enjoy this version for you passive reading, bible study or discussion groups.

The New American Bible

I am using the Bible every day however it is difficult to find the scripture that I need. The tabs don't lead me to where I should be according to the index. The other thing is that it does not have a Concordia that is vital to a Bible I believe to aid the reader.

I was digging for understanding and found gold...

I have been exploring the Catholic religion recently. I ordered this Bible after finding out that there were additional books in the Catholic version of the Old Testament. I was curious. Now that I have read a lot of the additional books and a great many of the introductions to the other books of this Bible - I can honestly say that this is the most interesting, understandable, and enlightening Bible I have ever read.
