The New Jerusalem Bible

There is no other bible with the info this one has. The only thing is the size of the typing, one has to use a magnifying glass to read it. But is just a minor problem compared to what is inside.

I've read many versions of "The Bible". King James Version, New King James Version, the Spanish Reina Valeria version.... I've even read some books of Martin Luther's German translation of the bible. Of all the stuff I've read, this one is probably the best modern English translation with critical notes that I have found around. Unless you decide to learn Biblical Hebrew, Biblical Greek, Aramaic, and a bit of Latin for the ECCE HOMO part, you're probably gonna get the best English translation that is available out there with this book. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in reading a "Bible" translation in modern English.

I am very happy with the study notes. However I meant to replace a copy of my Jersusalem Bible. I think having both will be a wonderful addition and I will look forward to comparative study.

Great bible, loved the lightweight book! good translation as well, and better design than the heavy Doubleday Jerusalem bible. overall a great buy IMO. Contains parallel readings, so quite helpful overall.

The small print of the text makes it very difficult to read. The Footnotes and Indexes print is impossible without a magnifier. Very disappointed om the volume. The Study Edition of The New Jerusaleem BIBLE will not be one I will use or endorse Theresa Crooke

At present I am undertaking study towards BTheology and I find this edition imformative, educational and enlightening. This explains many concepts involved with great clarity and purpose.

Excelente

type is too small to comfortably read. I have to strain to see.

This is a fantastic Bible. The New Jerusalem Bible Study Bible was recommended to me by my parish priest during an RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) or Adult Confirmation into the Roman Catholic Church. He also recommended the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSV-CE) for a good rounded view of the Scriptures. I like the NJB, it's compact and easy to carry and the textual notes are excellent. The Editors chose to refer to God as Yahweh (Hebrew word for God) in the Old Testament, for me, it gives the OT a slightly more authoritative feel. A bit like unedited, unadulterated & pure approach to the texts. The New Jerusalem Bible is a Catholic Bible, but from what I've read so far it doesn't appear exclusive. It's a nice version, affordable and compact enough to put into a bag and carry around. Some reviews mention the small font size. It is quite small but I don't find it difficult to read at all. The major drawback though is that this version is paperback! I can't see the book lasting very long without a cover! So far I haven't been able to God a cover that fits the copy. If anybody knows of one please let me know!

ニューエルサレム聖書は、評判がいいので買いました。英語と日本語を参照するとき、やっぱり、ニューエルサレム聖書を読みます。

Dopo aver comprato una Bibbia di Gerusalemme priva di riferimenti incrociati, che sono per me indispensabili per l'uso che ne devo fare, ho trovato questa che è carina, un buon compremesso tra il prezzo e l'uso, se potessi ricomprarla prenderei questa ma con la copertina rigida. L'edizione è perfetta, ma ho paura che alla lunga la copertina possa rompersi, dovrò stare attenta ad usarla

my issue are the letters. cant read too small for me

As a Catholic Bible, the NJB is the best if you like an excellent commentary with a Bible. Some of the print size is tiny though, and you need a magnifier to read the commentary comfortably. It was highly recommended to me by a well-respected RC Priest. I would like to have been able to afford the £55 for the hard-back edition, but I am getting along okay with the magnifier on the commentaries. There are so many different Bible editions that they are a maze to choose something. Not all Bibles are the same, some 'favor' a certain church's 'teaching'. The NJB is as far as I've been advised, the most accurate, the commentary scholarly and aimed at measured, Catholic study.
