The Douay-Rheims translation is hallowed by tradition, dating all the way back to 1582, revised with annotations, references, and a historical and chronological index make this the perfect Bible for either studying or meditation.
Translated between the years 1582 and 1610 and revised by Bishop Richard Challoner, this is the most accurate English translation of the Bible available today. It was the only Catholic translation of Scripture commonly in use for over 200 years and we maintain that it is still the best and safest version of the Bible in English. Translated with profound respect for every word, the beautiful style of the Douay-Rheims Bible will instill in the reader a deeper understanding of the Word of God. Our Douay Rheims Bible is the only edition available with the words of Christ in red! This lovely edition has black genuine leather cover with embossed emblems, gilt edges, a ribbon marker, full color maps and presentation pages.
