Here is a convenient edition of the complete Catholic Bible, at low cost. Both the Old and the New Testament are included in one, paperback book. The Old Testament includes what Catholics call the Deuterocanonical books, for example, the Books of Maccabees. This edition includes many features found in more expensive Bibles, such as indexes, introductions, etc.

The translation is that of the New American Bible, from the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. This translation is what Catholics are used to hearing at Sunday Mass in the United States; it is the version made available in most missals and monthly missalettes. Note that the Lectionary includes some adjustments to this translation; hence, the exact text that Catholics hear at Mass is found in no published translation. This New American Bible translation is as close as you can get.

The price of this edition is remarkably low; it's the most economical version of the Catholic Bible we know of. Moreover, if you order $300 of Bibles from our ACP Family Bookstore, we'll give you another 10% discount. As always, shipping and handling are additional; all prices are subject to change without notice at any time. Place your order today!
