The New Jerusalem Bible

This version of the Bible is the one that British Catholics are used to hearing the readings from at Mass, but updated with the use of inclusive language in response to the concerns of people sensitive to gender issues, while still preserving the meaning of the Sacred Scriptures.

The New Jerome Biblical Commentary

To understand the bible is one of the greatest gifts we can imagine. Whole new horizons are opened when we understand what was going on at the time the sacred authors were writing, when we can recognise the different sorts of literature the human co-operators of the Holy Spirit were using to make their point, when we are able to see the references that they would have taken for granted.
