Why choose the Douay-Rheims Bible? The Douay-Rheims translation was the stand alone Catholic English translation of the Bible for over 300 years. Faithfully rendering the Latin Vulgate, the version of Scripture used traditionally in the Liturgy and approved by the Council of Trent, the Douay-Rheims translation has historically been the most important English translation of the Bible. Translated with profound respect for every word, the wonderful style of the Douay-Rheims Bible and the expansive annotations will make this Bible perfect for everyone.
Whether you are looking for a simple resource to help you encounter the word of God, to use in study, or to meditate upon the word of God, the Douay-Rheims translation is perfect for you!
“Let sleep find you holding your Bible, and when your head nods, let it be resting on the sacred page.” —Saint Jerome
Beautifully bound book with gilded pages. Perfect family Bible. Very happy with purchase.
I was specifically looking for a translation closest to original as possible. When Dr. Taylor Marshal indicated Douay Rheims Bible version was the closest I was extremely happy to see that TAN offered this version in a leather bound.
The description didnt indicate that is was black leather, looked dark brown, but still beautiful.

The words spoken by Jesus
Posted by DANIEL C. on Feb 25th 2023
The words spoken by Jesus printed in red ink reminds the reader the true significance of what was read. I believe the word of God is relevant more so than ever to be translated from ancient text. I so love my edition I gave a copy to my grandson, and I will use this written word of God in my teaching. I will cherish this copy for all times.

True Bible
Posted by RITA W. on Jan 26th 2023
Love this Bible. The pages are thin, which is what I like in a Bible. Love this version. I was looking for one that hasnt changed words here and there. I would definitely recommend this Bible over any other.

A Bible to foster a mature and pure faith
Posted by CHRISTOPHER W. on Jan 22nd 2023
The language is harder than other translations but I can make out what is being said. The Lord;s words are in red and so my eyes are more drawn to them. The Gospels are reverently named St. Matthew, St. Mark, etc. The footnotes support Catholic teaching. It is a Bible to foster a mature and pure faith. John Senior, in "The Thousand Good Books," recommends the Douay-Rheims Bible to Catholics: "Since spiritual mysteries can only be communicated through poetry, whatever more modern versions may gain in accuracy is nothing compared to what is lost."

I got this Douay-Rheims Bible
Posted by Sarah S. on Jan 22nd 2023
I got this Douay-Rheims Bible for myself and couldn;t be happier with this edition. The cover is beautiful, as are the illustrations and maps. The print is clear and easy to read, and It's nice having Jesus;s words printed in red. It's a great Bible and well worth having to read and enjoy. It's also one I;ll consider purchasing again to gift when the occasion arises.
