When it comes to Bible translations, readability and reliability are what count; and on both counts, the original JERUSALEM BIBLE stands alone. A product of the age of the Second V atican Council (1962-1965), THE JERUSALEM BIBLE (published in 1966) was the first truly modern Bible for Catholics. Using definitive original language texts such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, biblical scholars of L' cole Biblique in Jerusalem produced a meticulously accurate, wonderfully readable French translation of the complete canon of Scripture (La Bible de J rusalem). From this French original came the English edition, edited by renowned Bible scholar Alexander Jones. For all the people around the world who are discovering or revisiting the mysteries contained in the Scriptures, only a clear, understandable Bible translation will do. With language as exquisite but more modern than the King James Version, THE JERUSALEM BIBLE is the one they can trust.Bible Version: JerusalemAuthor: Alexander JonesPublisher: ImagePublished: 02/15/2000Pages: 1696Weight: 2.40lbsSize: 8.60h x 5.90w x 1.70dISBN: 9780385499187Binding Color: Multi-ColoredBinding Material: ClothBible Portion: Complete Plus ApocryphaBible Type: ReadersAbout the AuthorALEXANDER JONES (d. 1970) is considered one of the world's leading biblical scholars.
