About this app

The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) is a Catholic translation of the Bible published in 1985. The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) has become the most widely used Roman Catholic Bible outside of the United States. It has the imprimatur of Cardinal George Basil Hume.Like its predecessor, the Jerusalem Bible, the New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) version is translated "directly from the Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic." The 1973 French translation, the Bible de Jerusalem, is followed only "where the text admits to more than one interpretation." Introductions and notes, with some modifications, are taken from the Bible de Jerusalem.

Ratings and reviews

May God bless you guys there at JaqerSoft!!! You seem to be one of the few (or possibly the only ones) that have the COMPLETE and bonafide New Jerusalem Bible. Other N.J.B. apps are either incomplete, or the text is something different altogether as I have noticed. So that's why I am O SO VERY PLEASED to find your app; it appears to be user-friendly and nice and read-able. Top marks and a big thumbs up from me for sure. 👍🤠👍

The audiobook is great and really helpful. The font of the text is very eye friendly. Praise the Lord and thanks for putting this together

So glad to find the Catholic version. Won't download or open. Just keeps pending. Very disappointed ☹️.
