Douay-Rheims Bible [Standard size, black hardcover] Leather Bound – October 1, 2012

This is the second version I have purchased of this wonderful bible. Ten or so years ago, I bought the pocket sized edition, and read it every day. Unfortunately, my eyesight isn't what it was a decade ago, and I realized that I needed a larger print.Hence, I purchased the personal sized volume, and I love it! With the aid of my reading specks, the print, and font type are very comfortable for my aging eyes. In addition to, The pages are thicker than those in most bibles, which makes for ease in page turning - No more sticking together like they do in some bibles printed on very thin onion paper.Finally, I very much enjoy the Papal writings located at the beginning of the volume, as well as the artistic biblicial story pitcure plates which are placed neatly in the middle of the book.

This is the go to be all ultimate original catholic Bible a must have in your collection and very well-made.

Love this Bible. The Catholic Church continues to bastardize the Word of God by using more and more secular language to appease those who demand "inclusive language."Genesis 5:2 used to say in the RSV and NAB, "God made male and female and called them man..." And called THEM, "MAN!" This meant the word "MAN" and "MEN" was already INCLUSIVE throughout the Bible and it was understood. Now, even Catholic Bibles change up original Latin and Greek. It's appalling and wrong because the original translation is lost.Many Muslims use this as proof the Bible is "corrupt." They lay out the hundreds of versions of Bibles and show their people how each one has different variations.Note to CATHOLIC SCHOLARS and BISHOPS! Wake the HELL UP! STOP LIVING IN A BUBBLE! TEACH THE TRUTH as JESUS DID and STOP WORRYING ABOUT BEING SO DAMN POLITICALLY CORRECT!Luke 7:28 used to say, "Among those born among women there was no greater PROPHET than John..." Both the NAB and RSV have removed the words "no greater prophet." Was the Church afraid to offend Muslims who believe Muhammad is the greatest prophet? No one can give me and answer for this. btw, if you look at the Douay Rheims Bible it says, "no greater prophet." So does the Greek!!! Check out a website that has the Greek Interliner and you'll see for yourself!The Devil is running rampant at the Vatican and destroying Catholicism from within.

The best edition of the Douay-Rheims available.This page upholds the traditional texts of Scripture as they emerged in definite form in the 4th century, and theAll serious students of the arcane or Scriptures need a quality edition of the Douay-Rheims, the most prominent translation into English of the Latin Vulgate. This edition by Baronius Press fits the bill. Quality paper and a new typeset of the 1899 Baltimore edition make this Bible a pleasure to read. The notes and introductions prepared under the supervision of Bishop Challoner in the 18th century are all intact. Not a fine binding but affordable.Baronius also offers the Knox Translation of the Vulgate.

This is a very nice Bible. Excellent translation, good size, nice cover, thick paper, easy to read type. The only defect for me is that the ribbon markers seem a little cheesey compared to other premium Bibles.

The Bible was a bit bigger and heavier than expected. Yet the cover was puny by comparison. It was too thin flat and lacked substance. It would have been more complete had it had a quality thick cover for the price. The rest of the construction was adequate. I bought it as it's for Catholics and is an older translation therefore the translations are more literal whereas the newer versions translations are more interpretations of what the Bible sentences mean. I prefer the actual translations minus the interpretations as to what was said and the meaning. I can figure out the meaning and feel like after reading the exact translations when read have better meaning to me. However, in my most humble this bible is not for the average person who is looking for someone who will simply tell them what the words mean.

This is a high-quality book from a physical perspective. The paper used in the binding are of excellent quality. The only complaint I have is that the type set is a bit smaller than I wanted which makes it a bit hard to read. But of course low cost readers will solve this problem.

Compared to modern day Bibles this book holds truer sentiments in a language that brings forth the intention of the Author. I had been reading for many years from a Bible issued in the early 70's. Some of the forms of expressions printed reflected the 70's but not of the ancient times. It reduced the Bible to an everyday reading rather than elevating it to the level of the ancient scrolls. The Douay-Rheims Bible allows you to look into the minds of the Evangelists, of the Apostles of Christ himself. Modern day words have changed their sentiment. Look up Luke 18:8 and compare between the old English and modern English and you will see that the meaning and speaking was much more meaningful and beautiful in earlier times. Highly recommend this Book to anyone interested in reading the Bible as it was meant to be read.Rose B. Yonkers, New York
