I am in need of buying a Roman Catholic Bible. Do you know any good web resourses to buy one? I tried googling and ebay, but most results are various fancy catholic books but not original bibles.
and since there are tons of Christian denominations, i need to be sure its a roman catholic one.
thanx in advance!

you can go to http://www.automonline.com/ for starters.
any large bookseller will also have them, like Barnes&Noble.
I recommend the Douay Rheims bible.

But if you cant afford it, get a good study bible like the NAB Catholic study Bible http://www.autom.com/autom/Bibles_304479/Study-Bibles_304559/Item_Paperback-NAB-Catholic-Bible_55975.htm

The Jerusalem Bible is the official text for reading the bible in the Roman Catholic Church - it is published in the United Kingdom by Darton Longman and Todd. There are other approved Catholic Editions available. In addition to the Jerusalem Bible, I also have the "Good News Bible" - Catholic Edition. In Britain it is published by Collins. Both are excellent, very modern translations.

Ask at any Roman Catholic bookshop.
If a BIble has the RC imprimatur inside, then it is accepted as a Catholic Bible. (The Jerusalem Bible was translated by Catholic Scholars. 0r buy Ronald Know's translation)
You're welcome

BarnsandNoble.com
Better to just go to the store and check for the approvel of the catholic church on the copyright page. Also look for the book of macabees.

The NAB (very scientific) and the Douay-Rheims (more spiritual) are both excellent Catholic Bibles:
Douay-Rheims

You can get them both on ebay or Amazon I think...

i have never heard of a roman catholic bible. i have always thought the bible was written for every sector of christianity. or is that man inserting his own ideas of the way he personally thinks the bible should be interpreted. and if that right, isn't it typical.

Roman Catholics use NIV if I"m not mistaken, or St. Joseph (that's the one my mom has). Just look it up on Amazon.com.

You have to go inside a Catholic Church. Sometimes, they have places, like an office where you can buy one.
It's easier that way, you may not be able to find one online.
