Anyone have comments about this version of Bible?

  • Huge glaring fault: nowhere did I find the adjective "Catholic".

    If it is Protestant, it will have grave errors, because the Protestants don't have the Faith.

    The advertisement also contains the grave fallacy that going back to Hebrew and Greek manuscripts is somehow more faithful than the Latin Vulgate, just because the manuscripts are older.

    Remember, St. Jerome in translating the Vulgate had access to many (more reliable) manuscripts in Hebrew/Greek that have since been lost. As a result, the Vulgate was THE bible used by God's (only) Church, the Catholic Church, from the time of St. Jerome up to about 1960.

    I'll take the Vulgate (and the most faithful English translation of it, the Douay-Rheims) any day.
