a very good Bible for Catholics and non-Catholics alike May 6, 2001
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
Speaking only for myself, this is not my favourite edition of the Bible - that would be the New Believer's editon - but it remains an indispensable part of my library. According to Josh McDowell's Evidence Which Demands a Verdict, the Roman Catholic Church in 1546 elected at the Council of Trent to canonize the 15 books of the (Old Testament) Deuterocanonical Gospels & the Apocrypha, as part of what was then a counter-Reformationist movement. I am an Anglican and also study these texts. I concur with Mr. McDowell's observations that some of the books are of questionable historical and theological value; but on the other hand, the Book of Wisdom (of Solomon), Baruch and I Macabees are very rewarding and inspiring. I think it should be up to the reader to have access to the material and glean whatever he or she can. The rest of the Old and New Testaments are translated in modern English and very readable, and compared to some other versions the editors here do not go overboard on theological dissertation.This is enthusiastically recommended as a supplementary reference, and one could get by quite well using this edition exclusively.
