The Holy Bible Douay-Rheims Version
With Challoner Revisions 1749-52
1899 Edition of the John Murphy Company
IMPRIMATUR:
James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, September 1, 1899.
Pope Damasus assembled the first list of books of the Bible at the Roman Council in 382 A.D. He commissioned St. Jerome to translate the original Greek and Hebrew texts into Latin, which became known as the Latin Vulgate Bible and was declared by the Church to be the only authentic and official version, in 1546.
The DR New Testament was first published by the English College at Rheims in 1582 A.D. The DR Old Testament was first published by the English College at Douay in 1609 A.D. The first King James Version was not published until 1611. This online DRV contains all 73 books, including the seven Deutero-Canonical books (erroneously called Apocrypha by Protestants). These seven books were included in the 1611 KJV, but not in later KJV Bibles.
The whole Douay-Rheims Bible was revised and diligently compared with the Latin Vulgate by Bishop Richard Challoner in 1749-1752 A.D. The notes included in the text were written by Dr. Challoner.
The DR Bible was photographically reproduced from the 1899 edition of the John Murphy Company, Baltimore, Maryland, by Tan Books in 1971. Eventually, this edition was optically scanned to produce a large text file which this publisher used for creating this website, with the aid of text-processing software.
One important goal of this project was to preserve the original text "as is", without making any changes in the wording, because the original text had the Imprimatur of James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, dated Sept 1st 1899.
The text file was checked quite thoroughly by software written by the publisher for punctuation errors and verses out of order. The index was humanly checked for misspelled words and the corrections were made to the text. However, some spelling errors may still be present in the text. Many verses were out of order in the original file. These have been corrected.
Every effort was made to ensure that this online version is an exact match to the original printed version. No words were added or ommitted from the text, except for correcting errors caused by the scanning process. No words were rearranged. No verse numbers were changed, except in the case of Psalm 9.
Psalm 9 originally contained 21 verses and there were 2 versions of Psalm 10, numbering 1-18 and 1-8. This obviously caused a conflict, so it was decided to make the first Psalm 10 as the last part of Psalm 9 and renumber the verses 22-39. This retains the same numbering as all the Douay Rheims. Note, in the Protestant Bibles the numbering of Psalms 10 through 146 differs by one.

Interesting fact of History is that the Bible has been on the bestseller list. Rulers and varios groups have tried to destroy the mere existance of the Bible throughout History But all attempts at destroying the Bible and Christianity have failed miserably. Why is that, must be truth to it. Also I find it interesting that those who say that Christians are putting their noses into peoples lives are the first to attack those of us who are Christian. People tend to find that the truth hurts so they want to destroy it.

you know, people who reject God's word are ultimately rejecting Him. and people like you know deep down that God's Word is true. I mean, if you would take a while to just calm yourself, sit down, and think about it, you would understand that all scripture is given by inspiration of God. It breaks my heart to know that there are people out there that reject God and as a result, will burn in Hell for all eternity. The Bible says that one day Every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord. Have you even picked up a Bible, let alone attempt to read it? The Bible says that if you "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved", Acts 16:31. People only reject the light because they love being in darkness too much. The truth might hurt, but all of us are in desperate need of that truth. I pray that God will break your heart and bring you to Him. God Loves You!!

Random people didnt' just write it. The Old Testament (most of it) is used in the Jewish Faith. The New Testament was written mainly by followers of Christ, a few years after his death and resurrection. Learn your facts before you run your mouth.

If you won't read it, then how do you know that random people just sat down and decided to put a bunch of stuff in a book?

The bible says that if you reject us, that it's Him you are really rejecting.
He decided what's moral and what's not. Seriously, and yet you disobey like a scolded child.

Actually, the Bible has more proven validity and HISTORICAL accuracy than any other book EVER WRITTEN. Look it up. The stats are everywhere.

It was God's words and different men wrote them out. All scripture is God-breathed.
