Ronald Knox Trnsl Bible
« on: June 16, 2021, 08:18:01 PM »
I was thinking of getting a new Bible.  My Douay Rheims is very tattered, and would like to try some other approved translation.  Any thoughts on the Ronald Knox and how it holds up to the Douay Rheims?  Pluses and minuses?

Thanks.

I think you can find a free PDF on line.

I would stick with the Douay Rheims as it being the most accurate bible in English. Sadly many other translations hold obvious errors in key places like the "He shall crush thy head" instead of "She shall crush thy head".

He or She is correct.  That is, When She steps on the head of the snake, Christ is with her at the heel.  Both are doing this action.

Here's a side by side comparison of the DR & Knox:

If you would like an audio Knox version(Gospels, Acts, Apocalypse) (about 2/3 of the way down the page, right side)
