Douay-Rheims Bible {Standard size - Black Flex Cover} Leather Bound – January 1, 2003

This is the second version I have purchased of this wonderful bible. Ten or so years ago, I bought the pocket sized edition, and read it every day. Unfortunately, my eyesight isn't what it was a decade ago, and I realized that I needed a larger print.Hence, I purchased the personal sized volume, and I love it! With the aid of my reading specks, the print, and font type are very comfortable for my aging eyes. In addition to, The pages are thicker than those in most bibles, which makes for ease in page turning - No more sticking together like they do in some bibles printed on very thin onion paper.Finally, I very much enjoy the Papal writings located at the beginning of the volume, as well as the artistic biblicial story pitcure plates which are placed neatly in the middle of the book.

This is a very nice Bible. Excellent translation, good size, nice cover, thick paper, easy to read type. The only defect for me is that the ribbon markers seem a little cheesey compared to other premium Bibles.

This is the go to be all ultimate original catholic Bible a must have in your collection and very well-made.

"The most beautiful and traditional Catholic Bible in English" listed in the description is right! I have multiple bibles & this one I use the most. Genuine leather cover, easy to read & with some illustrated pages included. Ultimately, If you're looking for that one bible to use, this is the bible to get!

The best edition of the Douay-Rheims available.This page upholds the traditional texts of Scripture as they emerged in definite form in the 4th century, and theAll serious students of the arcane or Scriptures need a quality edition of the Douay-Rheims, the most prominent translation into English of the Latin Vulgate. This edition by Baronius Press fits the bill. Quality paper and a new typeset of the 1899 Baltimore edition make this Bible a pleasure to read. The notes and introductions prepared under the supervision of Bishop Challoner in the 18th century are all intact. Not a fine binding but affordable.Baronius also offers the Knox Translation of the Vulgate.

Love this Bible. The Catholic Church continues to bastardize the Word of God by using more and more secular language to appease those who demand "inclusive language."Genesis 5:2 used to say in the RSV and NAB, "God made male and female and called them man..." And called THEM, "MAN!" This meant the word "MAN" and "MEN" was already INCLUSIVE throughout the Bible and it was understood. Now, even Catholic Bibles change up original Latin and Greek. It's appalling and wrong because the original translation is lost.Many Muslims use this as proof the Bible is "corrupt." They lay out the hundreds of versions of Bibles and show their people how each one has different variations.Note to CATHOLIC SCHOLARS and BISHOPS! Wake the HELL UP! STOP LIVING IN A BUBBLE! TEACH THE TRUTH as JESUS DID and STOP WORRYING ABOUT BEING SO DAMN POLITICALLY CORRECT!Luke 7:28 used to say, "Among those born among women there was no greater PROPHET than John..." Both the NAB and RSV have removed the words "no greater prophet." Was the Church afraid to offend Muslims who believe Muhammad is the greatest prophet? No one can give me and answer for this. btw, if you look at the Douay Rheims Bible it says, "no greater prophet." So does the Greek!!! Check out a website that has the Greek Interliner and you'll see for yourself!The Devil is running rampant at the Vatican and destroying Catholicism from within.

I liked it for the reasons in the headline but language is quite archaic which I should have anticipated. Customer service was okay. I wanted to return it but they had some attitude so I didn't bother.

This bible is a masterpiece. It preserves a venerable translation of the original OT and NT texts that should not be lost. It may not be easy to read or politically correct by today's ever-shifting standards; but that is exactly why I love it. I don't want dumbed down language or verses rewritten so they won't be 'offensive'. I want to know as close as possible what the original texts said. This should be the gateway to the process of thinking about what was written, finding the truth in it, learning about the times in which it was written, and applying it to the present. The Bible should stimulate thinking as well as bringing the reader closer to the word of God. This translation does exactly that. The beauty and poetry of the Psalms is breathtaking. The volume itself is beautifully made with quality paper and an easily readable font.
