  Latine Vulgate Bible

The real deal. St. Jerome, a doctor in the church originally translated the sacred scriptures in about 300AD. He lived very close to the time of Christ and was a scholar. Latin was becomming the dominant language which prompted St. Jerome to translate the ancient languages into Latin. This was the ONLY Bible available for about 1500 years. It has been translated into various modern languages...English, Spanish etc..
This is the original. The other Bibles have either been translated or modified based on the works of St. Jerome. The King James version was written after more modern scholars (about 500 years ago) went back to original ancient documents. They came close to what St. Jerome did. However, given that St Jerome lived way back then and the fact that he is a saint and Doctor of the Church I would tend to favor his version.
This is a MUST HAVE BIBLE IN YOUR HOME. Also with high qulatiy binding.

  Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible Review
Review created: 04/05/08

This particular translation of Holy Scripture was the official translation of the BIble for the Roman Catholic Church for many years. It is extremely easy to read, and, compared to the New Jerusalem Bible, it is not as technical. The binding is lovely, and, I feel privileged to have a copy of this translation!
