Revised New Jerusalem Bible

A beautiful, updated edition of the popular and beloved New Jerusalem Bible. Dom Henry Wansbrough, OSB, translator of the New Jerusalem Bible, has produced a comprehensive revision of this much-loved biblical text, which recognizes the most up-to-date developments in biblical scholarship and written English linguistics, as well as the needs of the Church. The Revised New Jerusalem Bible is a truly 21st-century Bible. Since the launch of the Jerusalem Bible more than 50 years ago, one of the most important elements of the JB and the NJB has been their comprehensive study footnotes and book introductions. Inevitably, much of this outstanding scholarship needs to be updated. Dom Henry has written an entirely new set of notes and introductions, which provide context and explanation for all readers of the Bible and will place the RNJB at the forefront of contemporary Bible study.
