Description

Catholic Bible
The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) is approved for use by Roman Catholics.

The New Jerusalem Catholic Bible is an update to the Jerusalem Bible, an English version of the French Bible de Jérusalem.

When the French version was updated in 1973, the changes were used to revise the Jerusalem Bible, creating the New Jerusalem Bible. The revisions were substantial. The revised version is said to be less literary but, for the most part, more literal. The introductions and footnotes, translated almost entirely from the French, have also been thoroughly revised and expanded, making it one of the most scholarly editions of the Bible.

Comments on New Jerusalem Catholic Bible for Android

★★★★★ Edward McGittigan · Aug 11, 2026

The absolute best Bible I have found on the Play store! Easy and you can pick up right where you left off. Thank you!

★★★★★ Hellen Kadogo · Jun 1, 2026

It is good to read the word of God even on my phone anywhere at a given time. Thank you

★★★★★ Alfred Kwame Febiri Yeboah · Jul 3, 2026

This new Jerusalem Catholic Bible is Very good, I urge others to download and use, if you want to experience the original Bible Text. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

★★★★☆ Adeodata Odidi · Sep 10, 2026

The bible is okay, but there are some mixes ups. For example if you want Mathew 10:1it will give you a different verse in Mathew and you will find this verse under Mathew 1:.10

★★★★★ Lwanga · Sep 13, 2026

Intuitive features make the study of scripture interesting and meaningful. Bookmarks and suggestions for verses allow the app to be used with a sort of theological artificial intelligence ~ that improves the more time and effort you devote. IT WILL EDIFY YOU WITHOUT ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS!

★★☆☆☆ P Smith · Jul 20, 2026

I like this version better as it's clear and easy to understand it. Thank you 😊 💓 Even though there should be no advertisement, advertising still pops up. It's a shame.😟

★☆☆☆☆ Ghangha Gilbert · Jul 17, 2026

When you seach chapters there don't show up

★☆☆☆☆ Tim McCOY JD · Sep 5, 2026

Nothing but an ad machine. Author should make it a pay app. Nobody wants to read Bible with ads popping the attention.
