Description：
The Revised New Jerusalem Bible presents anew the scholarship, character and clarity of the 1966 Jerusalem Bible (the first modern English version) and the 1985 New Jerusalem Bible. It is a Bible that prioritises:
 
-    A bold, rich language as suitable for reading out loud as for peaceful study, so that ‘the message might be fully proclaimed’ (2 Ti 4:17)

-    Accurate translation of the original scriptures rather than the ‘dynamic equivalence’ of some other modern versions

-    Assurance that the message of the Bible is directed to men and women equally, despite the inbuilt bias of the English language.
Other features include:

-    The book of Psalms is based on the text of the 2010 translation of the Revised Grail Psalms;

-    Ancient systems of measuring and timing have been replaced by modern, metric equivalents.
This Reader’s Edition presents the text of the RNJB in an accessible form suitable for reading at home, in church or on the move. Each book is prefaced with an introduction by Dom Henry Wansbrough OSB, translator and general editor of the RNJB and the NJB. The poetry of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, the Song of Songs, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus and Lamentations has been set in single-column format befitting the text.
