What is the best Douay Rheims Holy Bible version I could purchase today?

Need to keep it under $100 :thinking:

I like the Baronius Press edition.

If you're looking to keep costs down, I suggest a used book store. I found a nice Bible at such a store from the early 50s for about $10.

That's $43. Standard print. I think that's the best one. Great size, great cover, and readable text.

St. Benedict's Press is going full modernist/Novus Ordo. I've heard that TAN will stop selling some of its "controversial" books and supposedly some of those DR Bibles are going out of stock. So get this Bible while you got the chance, I think it's better than the Baronius version.

All that being said English speaking Catholics have very expensive and poor quality Bibles. I forget the publishers name but there's this one KJV-only baptist sect that sells calf skinned bibles for 40 bucks, elite quality. Even the Novus Ordo has ugly books, The LoTH by Catholic Book Publishing is overpriced Made In China quality garbage. Pretty shocking if you consider how large the market is.

We need a Catholic Bruce Wayne to fix all this.

In terms of the Bible text, it doesn't really matter. THe DRV is the DRV regardless of the edition. I would strongly encourage you to get the Haydock version if you can. The commentaries are first rate.
