The Holy Bible: Douay-Rheims Version Paperback – January 1, 2009

This Bible is a flawless reproduction of the 1752 Challoner-revised Douay-Rheims—so spot-on it even keeps the original typos. I’ve got this one, the leather-bound edition, and the Tan Books version, and I’m head over heels for all of them. We ditched the NABRE after growing tired of its gender-inclusive language, heresies, and disconnect from the Church’s Liturgy as we hear it at Mass.Sure, the language can feel a bit archaic, but that’s no hurdle—modern AI chatbots not only make it manageable but actually deepen the richness of your spiritual dive. True to Challoner’s style, the footnotes are on the lighter side, but with a little digging, you can grab the Haydock notes online for free. Those break down nearly every verse in stunning detail.I’m sticking with the DRC1752 from here on out—nothing less will do unless a fresh translation comes along that holds fast to Catholic tradition and teaching in more modern wording. Despite what some ads might claim, no such thing exists beyond this, the original Douay-Rheims, and the Clementine Latin Vulgate. If you’re serious about your faith, this is the real deal.

Very nice Bible and great price!

When I saw how NAB and RSV-CE deleted words especially the word "fasting" when how do you remove evil spirits by prayer and fasting that was in Douay-RheimsCatholic Bible. I'm so disappointed in Fr Chris Alar who plugs his Divine Mercy RSV-CE Bible. Yet knowing words and complete sentences are removed. The NAB pleases the Novus Ordo Roman in-out Quickie Mass. I have the old NAB version which the Byzantine Catholic Rite uses still for their epistle and gospel readings during The Divine Liturgy. The new NAB is okayed by McCarrick, figures. I advise Bible readers to get this Douay-Rheims over any other version. By the way King James version is a?Protestant version which homo King James didn't write but a-okayed it rather than have the Protestants use a True Version Catholic Bible.

Wonderful Catholic Bible. Raised Catholic and never new this Bible existed. I have since found one from 1869 with more books in the Old Testament. Glad I was able to purchase this. Excited to get it and put the tabs on it, however, the tabs ended up ripping some of the pages. That was very disappointing. I, do however, highly recommend this Bible.

I want to read the books other Bibles don't have and this is the most authentic interpretation of all Bibles

Very nice bible good quality, it is paperback so yeah not much else to say lol
