The following Bible translations are approved by the Catholic Chruch for personal use:
+ Douai-Rheims
+ Confraternity Edition
+ Revised Standard Version (RSV) - Catholic Edition
+ New American Bible (NAB )
+ Jerusalem Bible
+ New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)- Catholic Edition
+ New Jerusalem Bible
+ Today's' English Version - Catholic

Only the New American Bible (NAB) is approved for liturgical use in the U.S. and many other English speaking countries.

With love in Christ.

Many of the Protestant translations are to be had with the deuterocanonical books. There is not any specified purpose that Catholics must restrict the King James - even though the Douay-Rheims is the Catholic identical and the KJV stole a lot from it. The such a lot normal Catholic Bibles are: The Ignatius Bible (New Revised Standard Version) I suppose that is the first-rate total, it is mostly authorised by means of Bible students on all fronts as some of the correct translations (joint Protestant /Catholic translation). It is a particularly literal translation in present day english so the phraseology is awkward particularly by and large, however it's not too rough to learn. The New American Bible: Often derided by means of purists that is the interpretation used for the readings at Mass so it sounds very acquainted to Catholics who pass to Mass. It could be very readable and the interpretation is the dynamic equivalence variety for ease of studying. Not regarded very correct however simplest real tricky in a couple of areas. Not regarded chiefly inspiring within the language both. The Jerusalem Bible: Considered essentially the most literary (poetic?) of the Catholic translations. Reasonably correct translation. Avoid: Avoid: SKIP - the Good News Bible remains to be in the market at the cabinets in Catholic Book Stores. If you quite find it irresistible k you'll be able to learn it. It is convenient to learn, however many passages do not bring the entire which means of the usual languages. From a Catholic viewpoint one of the most Protestant models are tricky.

I would suggest you go to a christian store that caters to Catholics. The Catholic bible has a word in the fron tof the bible that authenticates it "Impremature". Also the Catholic bible has the so called missing books. These are the Apocryphats (15 missing books). These books are not found in the NKJ and similar christian bibles. New American Bible(NAB) or the RSV and the NRSV. It just depends on how easy of a translation you want. But currently the church reads out of the NAB. Just ask the store to show you the word Impremature.

The Douay Confraternity edition is the classic Catholic edition of the Holy Bible. Contemporary editions are the Ignatius Catholic Bible, the New American Bible for Catholics, and the Revised Standard Version (Catholic Edition).

1. The Douey-Rheims, The Revised Standard Version - Catholic Edition, the New American Bible, and the Jerusalem Bible.

2. The Church in Rome uses the Douey-Rheims. The USCCB has authorized the New American Bible for use in America. The Church also approves reading from the RSV-CE (my personal favorite, and the Jerusalem Bible.
