5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT compact Bible!
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2019

I have had my copy of the CTS New Catholic Bible for a while now, and I can simply say that I am 100% pleased! The refinements made in the Jerusalem Bible text which comprise this Bible make for a smooth, accurate read. Changed, for example, is the name "Yahweh" which is now "LORD" in keeping with the Vatican's wish that the former no longer be used out of respect for God's name. One thing that I never loved about the Jerusalem Bible was its less-than-poetic translation of the Psalms. These always felt to me to be too literally translated, thus killing their rhythm and poetic nature. In the CTS Bible, the Jerusalem Bible Psalms are replaced with the Grail Psalms which is the translation used in the Hours and are familiar to many Catholics. One more thing that I am so far pleased with is the apparent avoidance of "inclusive," stilted language which was, for me, a big cringe-worthy negative with the NEW Jerusalem Bible. The Size of this Bible (4"x6"x2") is PERFECT for travel. Yes, the print is small, and some reviewers have complained about this. However, I wear glasses, and find it easy to read even for my ancient eyes. I will admit, though, that the footnotes, which are smaller in size, take a little more concentration on my part to read, but are still very readable! Due to the compactness of this Bible, there are neither as many nor detailed footnotes as was the case with the old Jerusalem Bible, although those included are adequate and informative, in my opinion. Four maps are included (two at the front and two at the back of the Bible). These are nicely done and are helpful. In closing, I wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful little Bible, and I hope that you will find it to be the blessing that it is for me!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Bible, Orthodox and Scholarly
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2017

This is a wonderful bible. The notes are oriented towards the historical critical method, but I haven't found anything in them which contradicts established church teaching.

The Jerusalem Bible has always been a treasure to me, as it does a wonderful job literarily, and I'm not convinced that the most slavishly literal renderings are always the most faithful and accurate.

One important critique of another review is in order, as well. One reviewer says the following:

'A note on 1John 5 states "Possibly 'came by water' refers to a view that Jesus became Son of God only at baptism .."!'

Their claim is that this is an unorthodox interpretation of this passage. They're missing the context of the note. The note's claim is that "came by water" is possibly a reference to Christ becoming the Son of God at baptism, _but_ the note says the author is contradicting this unorthodox view by adding _with blood_. In other words, the note claims that possibly this should be interpreted as a polemic against adoptionism. That's quite an orthodox claim with no offense to faithful catholic teaching.

If you're looking for a translation without attempts at controversial inclusive language yet with a little more literary flare than the RSVCE, this is a great choice. The notes are great too, if you're looking for a historical critical viewpoint that doesn't get too crazy. I wish this bible was a little more known and distributed in the US.

5.0 out of 5 stars practical, easy to read, the best Cayholic Bible today.

after looking and expending money in other differnt Catholic Bibles finally I surrender. This Bible from CTS is small to take in purse, small print (not good) but you can read it because the print is dark enough to follow. My best feature is that it is not heavy and you can open it and stays there avoiding the use of both hands to keep it in place, it is a Catholic translation, the other good bible is the New Catholic Version by Catholic book Publishing Company. But this one is smaller and lighter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente presentación
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2019

Edición de bolsillo más que compacta, así que no se espere letra grande, pero encuadernada elegantemente en símilpiel, lo que la hace muy suave al tacto y manejable, las hojas redondeadas en las esquinas con canto dorado. Hecha en Italia. El texto de la Biblia pertenece a la Jerusalem Bible con comentarios actualizados, con excepción de los salmos que son de The Grial, texto oficial de la Liturgia de las Horas en Inglés. Si no se tiene problema visual con la letra pequeña, es una excelente opción.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Catholic English Bible
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2015

Excellent Catholic Bible.

A must have for all English speaking Catholics, along with a Didache NABRE, an Ignatius Catholic Study Bible and a Douay-Rheims-Challoner (preferably Haydock Study version).

If you are a serious Catholic who studies Scripture seriously, who speaks English, you absolutely MUST have a Douay Rheims, and you MUST have either a Didache NABRE or a CTS Jerusalem - Didache NABRE moreso in America, Jerusalem moreso in UK/Ireland.

Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2020
It appears that this is the Revised New Jerusalem Bible translation. I'm not sure why that isn't made clear in the description. Also, why didn't the publisher make a "Look Inside" capability for buyers to review?

5.0 out of 5 stars THE LITURGICAL ENGLISH BIBLE
Reviewed in Canada on December 4, 2023
Verified Purchase
The NEW Catholic Bible is a revised New Jerusalem Bible that is currently using for Liturgical Mass Readings and published by Catholic Truth Society (CTS).

CTS New Catholic Bible is easier to comprehend Catholic English Translation Bible. It has Jerusalem and Grail translations authorized by the Vatican for use of Liturgy.

Also, that book includes introductions, one for each book, giving biblical and historical context.

The late Pope Benedict XVI requested to change the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) from Yahweh to LORD. The font is 8 PT, but it is difficult to read! Anyway the print is clear, not line-matched printing.

Over-all it is a compact, paperback edition which is easier to bring for travel and private devotion.

The CTS Bible is an official English Bible translation for papal liturgical readings.

I very much like the translations for the clarity, simplicity and style. The text is not too small and easy on the eye. The notes can be very odd, given that the book is touted as a Catholic Bible, since they generally point out contradictions or historical inaccuracies. I have the paperback version and the cover is now starting to come unstuck, as I arrive half way through the Old Testament.

The bible is well bound with sewn in signatures in a good quality paperback. I like the cover, and it is folded at the long edge so it will last a long time. The printing is good, pages are thin but sufficiently thick for easy turning and easy reading. The print is a good size.

This edition is the same size as the pages in the STANDARD EDITION had cover edition. And because it has a flexible cover it is pleasant to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now I have an English Version of the Bible
Reviewed in Germany on February 28, 2016

This Bible is very good for Catholics, that are not born anglophone. Whether you would like to read, what is reading in the Holy Mass, you can read it and better understand. The english is very understandable. At the end of the book is a reading order for every weekday and sunday mess, included the Holy holidays. The readers of this text can see, that my english isn't really good, but even thoug this traduction is good understandable. It is the litugical Translation, how it is used in the catholic Mess and the Psalms are in the version how they were used while the Hourprayer (Laudes, Vesper, Komplet). Very good. I like it!
