Publisher's Synopsis
Confused about which Bible to choose? Bewildered by all the different choices? Here is a Bible tailor-made for every Catholic. It will lead you through the exact same English texts that the Church uses at each Mass, with notes and introductions edited by Vatican expert Dom Henry Wansbrough OSB. CTS has created several carefully thought-out editions to suit every need and budget. This edition features attractive Flexi binding in two-tone leatherette with decorative stitching, a smart gold blocked and heat burnished dove/flame design, gilt edges and red and gold ribbons. The Confirmation edition of the CTS New Catholic Bible is a great gift for young people receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation. Its compact size and familiar scriptural translation used in the readings at Mass make this a Bible that will be cherished on Confirmation day and beyond. What's different about The CTS New Catholic Bible? • Jerusalem and Grail translations authorised by the Vatican for use in the Liturgy • Specially commissioned introductions, one for each book, giving the biblical and historical context • Specially commissioned liturgical introductions placing each book of the Bible in the Church's liturgical year • Footnotes following the latest scholarship • Marginal references helping you get the most out of each passage • A clearer layout - using modern fonts in easy-to-read single-column format • Text alterations, replacing the word 'Yahweh' with 'the LORD' as requested by Benedict XVI for all new Bibles • Directories of references for readings used in the Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours, including the fuller two-year cycle for the Breviary NB: The text size in the image preview above is not necessarily true to size.
