## Jerusalem Bible Holy Version Reviews in United States

### ****- "Remove"
Needs remove add
-- Bennyjms, 2025-06-01

### ***** "Got to get"
Amazing
-- Flab rep, 2025-05-29

### **--- "Misleading"
Disappointed. This is NOT - repeat NOT - the  original 1966 Jerusalem Bible. It is the 1985 NEW Jerusalem Bible, complete with gender-neutral language.
-- nowradioguy, 2025-04-14

### ***** "The Jerusalem Bible is Unique"
I was glad to seen an app that featured The Jerusalem Bible of 1966. It is a unique translation done during a unique time. It was done by Catholics during the Vatican II era, which was a very ecumenical (unity among various branches of Christian groups) time. It came with a lot of notes (not included in app) with were very helpful and are moderately conservative theologically, and therefore enjoyable to Protestants and Catholics alike. The translation is idiomatic enough to bring out the flavor of what was said, yet without straying too much from the original language. The subsequent revisions of it in 1985 (New Jerusalem Bible) and just recently (Revised New Jerusalem Bible) brought about notes that are somewhat more liberal or progressive in nature. And the translation in these revisions revert back to some terms that are somewhat obscure to many Protestants, such as “saving justice” instead of “justification” in Paul’s writings. There are a lot of different translations of the Bible available out there, and none of them are perfect. But the Jerusalem Bible (1966) is a gem, because of the clarity of the translation, and the unique ecumenical time in which it was made, as well as the mostly helpful notes that came with that edition (if you can find a hard copy that has the notes). Later editions claim the 1966 edition didn’t rely on the Hebrew and Greek as much as they should have, but that claim is overstated, and most people use more than one translation for study or devotions anyway.
-- Bookwormjake, 2024-12-25

### **--- "Like the translation HATE the politics"
A Bible should not be stumping for any politician. Period.
-- Ziggy Texas, 2024-08-07

### ***** "Bible is way to read!"
I like the Jerusalem bible because I like how easy it is to access individual chapters. I am studying Mark in a bible study. We have to find verses from the old & New Testament. I flip back & forth easily. The text size is good.
-- Kabrm, 2024-06-10

### ***** "Jerusalem Bible is"
Readable
Well ordered
Clearly marked
Easy to locate
An important language presentation. 

Thank you so much. This is an important tool for both scholars and students and independent seekers and contemplatives. The JB IS A GREAT ACCESS TO ALL OF THOSE MOMENTS IN THE SPIRITUAL LIFE. 

Joan chittister
-- Danny1936, 2024-05-31

### ***** "Love this translation"
I have read the leather bound version for many years. I appreciate all the footnotes and all the scholarly help. It is great to have the same version that I am familiar with on my phone. It is a solid Catholic version and also very personal in  presenting God to us.
-- heartsie guy, 2024-04-18

### ****- "Ads free doesn’t seem to be an option"
The Bible is great, but I can’t find a way to buy it ad free.
-- Frankl77, 2024-01-02

### ***** "Review"
Jerusalem bible stresses the importance of original words of Holy bible.  Thank you and God bless
-- Junojun!, 2023-09-22

### ***** "Jerusalem Bible"
I have used the Jerusalem Bible for more than 45 years (first the original  French translation, then the English translations).  As a Greek scholar I was particularly interested with the updated Greek text of the New Testament (which incorporated variant readings from different text traditions other than manuscripts that had been used in 19th and early 20th Greek texts of scripture. Having the modern language translations (French and English) of this updated text in the form of the Bible de Jerusalem / Jerusalem Bible was wonderful for teaching scripture and theology classes. And the notes that accompanied the French text represented state of the art scholarship.  And it was wonderful not having to deal with archaic texts like the King James and Douay-Rheims when one simply wanted to do personal spiritual reading.
-- ambivat, 2023-04-12

### ***-- "Missing Books"
Neither the index nor the content appear to include Maccabees 1 and 2.
-- lazyoldhag, 2023-04-01

### **--- "1985 version NOT the original 1966"
This is the New Jerusalem Bible NOT YHR ORIGINAL 1966 version. It has been neutered with PC verbiage.
-- Jaubert Apple, 2023-03-26

### ***** "The Jerusalem Bible"
Back in or around 1985 I got my first Jerusalem Bible while I was in the Seminary.  Since that year I’ve carried around everywhere I go.  It is strongly easy to read, follow and to understand.  Currently with this digital version is also very easy to follow too.  Thank you for keeping up on updating it.  Eduardo, California.
-- Cocori2000, 2023-02-28

### **--- "Computerized Voices"
Disappointing. The layout is great. The indexing is right. There’s an obvious way to present the Bible. Lots of people do this well. But what I’ve wanted is an audio version, well read and well produced. Hearing this computerized reading is soulless. Scouting and useless. Deleted the app.
-- Dan with Ears, 2023-02-06

### ***** "The Original"
I have been using the New Jerusalem Bible since 2000
-- Gonzolini, 2023-01-06

### *---- "NOT the 1966 Jerusalem Bible"
Per the previews shown here, this is the 1985 NEW Jerusalem Bible, which uses restrained gender-inclusive language. What gives it away here is that it reads "a divine wind" and not "the Spirit of God" is sweeping or hovering over the waters.
-- nowradioguy, 2022-12-18

### ***** "Jerusalem Buble"
Easy to find readings and the print is large enough to read too.
-- cmk in mn, 2022-09-27

### ***** "Excellent app for Bible!!"
This a a great Bible App!
-- martinez270, 2022-09-21

### ***** "Y’all have to download it now"
Yea
-- XchangeFD, 2022-09-09
