The New American Bible Revised Edition (NABRE) is the first major update to the New American Bible (NAB) text in twenty years. Reflecting the work of nearly 100 scholars and extensively reviewed and approved by the USCCB, the NABRE takes into account the best current scholarship as well as the new discovery of ancient manuscripts that improve our knowledge and understanding of the Biblical text. Note: The Bible readings used in the current missals & lectionaries & LOTH use an older version of the NAB translation that has now been updated in all the new NAB Catholic Bibles currently being printed. For this reason, this NAB Bible will be close (but not exactly word-for-word) to the readings you will hear at Mass. It is not possible to purchase an older NAB translation to exactly match the Mass readings, because they are no longer in print. Features include: Gold-gilded page edges Old Master Art depicting the life of Christ Presentation and family record pages Extensive notes, commentary, cross references Favorite Catholic prayers Full color maps © Copyright 2017 Trinity Road LLC/The Catholic Company | John Paul II Adventure Bible
