Book Overview

When it comes to Bible translations, readability and reliability are what count; and on both counts, the original JERUSALEM BIBLE stands alone. A product of the age of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), THE JERUSALEM BIBLE (published in 1966) was the first truly modern Bible for Catholics. Using definitive original language texts such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, biblical scholars of L'Ecole Biblique in Jerusalem produced a meticulously accurate, wonderfully readable French translation of the complete canon of Scripture (La Bible de Jerusalem). From this French original came the English edition, edited by renowned Bible scholar Alexander Jones. For all the people around the world who are discovering or revisiting the mysteries contained in the Scriptures, only a clear, understandable Bible translation will do. With language as exquisite but more modern than the King James Version, THE JERUSALEM BIBLE is the one they can trust. From the Hardcover edition.

Not leather bound as advertised.

I checked my order which was leather bound but a hard covered book arrived instead.

The Bible I Keep Returning To

The Jerusalem Bible has been my go-to for nearly two decades. I read other English translations regularly, but when I want to settle in with something deeply satisfying, it’s the Jerusalem Bible every time—specifically the 1968 paperback Reader’s Edition.

Jerusalem Bible, excellent for those looking for a wonder filled read.

The Jerusalem Bible is Catholic by .ost standards, but far more than that. Expanded books with notations and for study it can't be beat! A lovely addition to your Bible collection.

Jerusalem Bible

I love the Jerusalem bible translation. My next go to Bible after the NAB.

The Jerusalem Bible

A good translation of the Latin Vulgate/Catholic Bible with the help of the original Hebrew/Greek/Aramaic texts consulted. Protestants may not like it because it contains The Apocryphal Books and additions to the books of Esther and Daniel that are not in most Protestant Bibles.
