2One of the most prized Bible translations, the Challoner-Rheims, is presented here as a "Reader's Bible," offering the sacred words of Scripture in the form in which they were originally written ‚"‚€‚" without all the verse numbers, section heads, comments, references, and footnotes that, although valuable to scholars, clutter up most Bibles today, drawing attention away from the meaning of the Sacred Text itself.

The early Christians read "the inspired Word of God" without all those academic distractions. Now, with this Catholic Reader's Bible, you finally can too.

Instead of double columns that squeeze short lines of text up against each other, here you'll find generous, single-column pages graced with handsome, readable type. For navigation purposes, the top of each page lists the range of verses on that page.
