The first complete edition of the Revised New Jerusalem Bible (RNJB) – a Bible for study and preaching.

This exciting new text once again presents the academic study, character, and clarity of the Jerusalem Bible of 1966 (the first modern English edition) and the New Jerusalem Bible of 1985. The RNJB prioritizes translation accuracy and the richness of tone, capturing the rigor and poetry of the original JB for new generations.

This volume contains the entirety of the biblical text with a full set of study notes, cross-references, and introductions to the biblical scriptures.
