EDITORIAL REVIEW

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'École Biblique in Jerusalem produced a meticulously accurate, wonderfully readable French translation of the complete canon of Scripture (La Bible de Jérusalem). 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.

Would have been nice to know what "Reader's Edition" meant, but the book was in good condition and still good for the reasearch that was required of it.

The Jerusalem Bible is a GREAT Bible translation, rich, poetic and at the same time simple to read and to understand!
I was used to read the Bible in Portuguese, but since I bought this edition I adopted It as my preferred fount, which I can read together with my usual Bible and compare the passages. Taking into account Its English is balanced and readable my Bible reading has become richer than before.

The copy I received is definitely not a poorly printed material as commented by others, that's different from Brazilians traditional editions which are good ones too, but I can tell you that I really loved this edition, its cover, color as well as the paper quality.

God bless all of you!

This met my expectations as a smaller version of this Bible which is easier to carry that the earlier, larger Bible I had.

CLOSE TO ORIGINAL

THIS BIBLE READS THE BEST TO ME. IT TALKS LIKE TODAY BUT I KNOW THE WRITINGS ARE FROM THE HEBREW BIBLE SO IT IS AS CLOSE TO THE ORIGINAL WORD AS YOUR GOING TO GET.

I really didn't like this product. I didn't like the layout of the book on the inside, hard to follow. I would not recommend this to others.
