Excellent Translation and Completely Catholic
The previous reviewer gave this Bible one star because they disagree with the current *completely approved* Bible for Catholics. You can't get more *Catholic* than the St. Joseph Edition! Take your pick of publishers of the New American Bible translation -- they no doubt have different preface materials, introductions, etc. The introductions in this Bible are tailored...

commentary and introductions are against the Faith
At the beginning of nearly each book of the Bible in this version the commentators either cast serious doubt on who the author is or state outright that the author is not who tradition holds it to be .They state that in the Gospels only very short quotes of Christ are authentic and that all longer ones are the author putting their teachings in Christs mouth to give...

Excellent Translation and Completely Catholic,
By A Reader (Ann Arbor, Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New Saint Joseph Bible-NABRE-Family Large Print (Leather Bound)
The previous reviewer gave this Bible one star because they disagree with the current *completely approved* Bible for Catholics. You can't get more *Catholic* than the St. Joseph Edition! Take your pick of publishers of the New American Bible translation -- they no doubt have different preface materials, introductions, etc. The introductions in this Bible are tailored for the current American Catholic who wishes to understand the Bible as we know it today. It is reverent, devout and faithful to Catholic teaching -- this Bible has the *Imprimatur*, the seal of Church approval. I recommend that Catholics dive in and read this translation.

commentary and introductions are against the Faith,
By A Customer
This review is from: New Saint Joseph Bible-NABRE-Family Large Print (Leather Bound)
At the beginning of nearly each book of the Bible in this version the commentators either cast serious doubt on who the author is or state outright that the author is not who tradition holds it to be .They state that in the Gospels only very short quotes of Christ are authentic and that all longer ones are the author putting their teachings in Christs mouth to give them authority. They also state that many of Christ's miracles are simply taken from the Old Testament and attributed to Him to make Him seem Divine.It would take a entire book in itself to cover how contrary to sound Faith this version is .The entire approach of the commentators is point by point directly condemned by the Pius X encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis as heresy .Shame on the Catholic Book Publishing company and every person involved in this dreadful version .
