Product Description:
The New Jerusalem Bible: Standard Edition will satisfy the great need for an authoritative version of "the greatest story ever told" in a package so attractive, user friendly, and affordable, this edition is destined to become a classic. Using the same translation that has been hailed as "truly magnificent" (Journal of Bible Literature), the Standard Edition has a completely redesigned interior, set in a two-column format for easy reading. With all the best features of much more cumbersome and costly versions, this Bible is a must-have for home, church, and school.
Amazon.com Review:
In 1956, scholars from L'Ecole Biblique in Jerusalem set their minds to translating the Scriptures from the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts, hoping they could preserve the most sacred Christian traditions and stories. By 1966, the first English-language Jerusalem Bible was published. Since then it has become a favored text for lay readers and scholars alike. The accessible language and richly recounted stories, poetry, and letters in this edition is consistent with previous versions. However, this latest version stands out because of its clear format--clean double columns with easy-to-read type and quick reference headings.

Let's face it, there are two reasons to buy a Jerusalem Bible, the notes chief among them, and the New Jerusalem
Bible has the best out there. The other reason, of course, is the accessibility of the text, and again, the NJB is unrivaled on this count, as well. Unlike other modern translations that bend over backwards to achieve "inclusiveness" in the English, the NJB makes very few concessions on this front, again, one of its strengths. It wants to say in clear English what the original texts ... Read More

The New Jerusalem Bible is a beautiful book. It is complete in that it includes the Apocryphal Books. Reviews by biblical scholars have affirmed its high level accuracy. The abundant footnotes assist the laymen in understanding difficult passages.

The New Jerusalem Bible is a fine study aid. Though it is the product of Catholic scholars there is nothing in either the translation or the excellent notes which could not have been written by competent scholars of any denominational background. I like the idiomatic English: Jezebel to Ahab - "Some king of Israel you make!" Compare NRSV - "Do you now govern Israel?".
Any translation is a trade-off between the literal and the idiomatic. The latter scores in liveliness and instant intelligibility ... Read More

I love the New Jerusalem Bible. It's the only translation I love to read. I already own one but, it has very small type. I bought this one for the larger type and supposed more notes. It does have larger type. I was expecting it to have more cross references, foot notes and information. It only has one map.
It's still the best version around, Catholic or not. Most accurate and I too, love to see "Yahweh" in the Bible. It's very fluid to read.

This translation is inspiring! One of the few translations to include the Holy Name Yahweh. I regret that possible future editions will revert back to using Lord rather than using Yahweh. Get this treasure while you can.
