Review.

Very happy with this version.

Authentic translation with user friendly language and layout

From earliest school days to now the JB is always relevant and meaningful. Truly taste and see the goodness of the Lord.

Jerusalem Bible

It is easily accessible through the menu. The language is close to the church’s liturgy. Overall, it’s great.

Gratitude

I’m so grateful that the Bible is available on my iphone. Blessings

Not the readings used in Mass

As others have said this is not the Jerusalem Bible (JB) but the New Jerusalem Bible (NJB). It is not used as the readings for mass as stated in the description. Great free bible, but if you want one to use in mass this is not the version for you. Also the US I believe uses the NAB in their mass readings not the JB.

User friendly

Would love the option of being able to print out individual books or pages. This app is really user friendly and easy to mark and makes notes and find what I need.

This is not Jerusalem Bible but NEW JERUSALEM BIBLE!

I have checked out the passages and this is clearly not the 1966 Jerusalem Bible but is the New Jerusalem Bible. Please update this to the New Jerusalem Bible. In different ways it is the superior translation with certain errors removed which is why I am keeping it. The only big negative with the New Jerusalem Bible is it has inclusive language and it times is a bit heavy with this which then can lose its exact original meaning. Great to have it as a free app!

This is New Jerusalem 1985

The passages I checked are from New Jerusalem Bible (1985) not Jerusalem(1966). This App is Ok but the other NJB had more features. Try both as they are free versions. I'll keep looking for the 1966 JB.
