The New Jerusalem Bible, as a truly ecumenical bible, gives the reader the complete text of the ancient canon of Scripture, as the Church established it over fifteen centuries ago. Moreover, all biblical texts (including the deutero-canonical books and passages not included in the Hebrew Bible but found in the Greek Septuagint and canonized as Scripture by the Church) are presented in their accepted “Catholic” order - not relegated to an Apocryphal appendix.
By popular demand, this handy, lightweight edition is now avaialble bound in black leather, featuring a ribbon marker, maps, a slipcase, and imitation leather lining. With all the features of much more cumbersome and costly versions, here is a Bible that readers will be pround to own and use for a lifetime of study, private reading, and church use. 1424pp Leather (1999)
