List Of Catholic Bibles (Septuagint Version)

1. Douay-Rheims Bible: This is an older translation from the Latin Vulgate, traditionally used by Catholics, with its more formal and archaic language.
2. Revised Standard Version – Catholic Edition (RSV-CE): This is one of the most accurate and widely used translations for both personal reading and academic study.
3. New Revised Standard Version – Catholic Edition (NRSV-CE): An updated version of the RSV, widely used in liturgy, study, and ecumenical dialogues.
4. New American Bible (NAB): This is the version used in the readings at Mass in the United States. It’s also widely used in Catholic study and catechesis.
5. Jerusalem Bible (JB): A highly respected translation, used in many Catholic countries and known for its readability and literary quality.
6. New Jerusalem Bible (NJB): An update of the Jerusalem Bible with a more modern and accessible language while staying faithful to Catholic teaching.
7. Catholic Community Bible: Widely used in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, this version offers pastoral explanations, making it very popular for study and reflection.
8. The African Bible: This is a Catholic study Bible specifically designed for African readers. It uses the New American Bible (NAB) translation but includes commentary, footnotes, and introductions that reflect the cultural, social, and religious context of Africa. It is widely used among African Catholics because it integrates the Catholic faith with African traditions and worldviews, making Scripture more relatable and understandable for African readers.
