What They're Saying

Critics Review

“The RNJB fulfils the pressing need for a lucid translation with clear explanatory notes for use in public and private reading, for instruction and for the liturgy.” – Dom Henry Wansbrough OSB
“The Revised New Jerusalem Bible is an outstanding piece of work.” – Nicholas King
“The RNJB is one of the most beautiful and poetic of all the translations of the Bible. Years ago, I read the New Jerusalem Bible and was astonished at how it brought to vivid life the stories of the Old and New Testament. One could, I discovered with delight, read them as if you were reading a well-written story. Now the RNJB improves on this by updating its scholarship and its sensitivity to subtle changes in contemporary English, and in the process introduces the Bible to a new generation of readers.” – Fr James Martin SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage, editor at large, America Magazine
