The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) is a Catholic translation of the Bible published in 1985. The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) has become the most widely used Roman Catholic Bible outside of the United States. It has the imprimatur of Cardinal George Basil Hume. Like its predecessor, the Jerusalem Bible, the New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) version is translated "directly from the Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic." The 1973 French translation, the Bible de Jerusalem, is followed only "where the text admits to more than one interpretation." Introductions and notes, with some modifications, are taken from the Bible de Jerusalem.

Decent, but could be better

I’m writing this review so I don’t have to see the irritating suggestion every time I open the application, thus causing me to feel guilt for being irritated about being bugged to death about the application. It’s like the app is suffering from severe insecurity or something. 1) stop with the request for reviews 2) it needs to have the ability to turn the page versus scrolling down....we like to go from chapter to chapter 3) footnotes would be a great addition, as well as introductory notes into each book 4) options for page colors might be a good thing and 5) STOP bugging people about reviewing the thing.

Great Catholic Bible app!

This app is easy to use and easy to read. One can easily sit down and read several chapters. I do wish, however, that it was easier to get to the next chapter. I also wish there was commentary. There are no footnotes. Also, how do I "un-highlight" something? I keep accidentally touching the screen when scrolling and highlighting a random part? That's a bit annoying. At any rate, this is a great and handy tool to have right on your phone! I lead Scripture study and recommend it to everyone - not as their primary Bible, but as an addition.

Great app with one annoyance

I’m only writing a review because the app kept pestering me to. That’s the only thing I really don’t like about it. It would also be nice to be able to highlight things. But I’m really enjoying being able to read one of my favorite bible translations on my phone. And I really like that the colors are such that it’s easy on my eyes to read. I just hope now that I won’t have to see that thing pop up asking me to write a review now. Once every now and then, I understand. But every single time I open the app? Not cool.

Luv the translation

I have used this translation since 1973- feel the wording is colorful and a great enhancement to the kjv.My one objection is the updated version has changed wording for example Gen 1:2 used to read-“Now the earth was a formless void, there was darkness over the deep, and God’s spirit hovered over the water.”Now-“1:2 Now the earth was a formless void, there was darkness over the deep, with a divine wind sweeping over the waters.”Not exalting the Trinity in creation is bad news people!
