Jerusalem Bible Holy Version

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.

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

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.

The Bible is great, but I can’t find a way to buy it ad free.

Jerusalem bible stresses the importance of original words of Holy bible. Thank you and God bless

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.

Neither the index nor the content appear to include Maccabees 1 and 2.

This is the New Jerusalem Bible NOT YHR ORIGINAL 1966 version. It has been neutered with PC verbiage.

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.

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.
