Immerse yourself in the sacred scriptures with the Catholic version of the Bible, the Douay-Rheims Bible, Challoner Revision (DRC 1752). This revered translation includes the deuterocanonical books, offering a complete experience of the Word. The Douay-Rheims Bible, a cornerstone for Roman Catholics, was translated from the Latin Vulgate into English at the University of Douai, France. The New Testament was first published in 1582 in Rheims, which is why it's known as the Douay-Rheims.
The 1752 revision by English Catholic bishop Richard Challoner modernized the vocabulary, spelling, and structure, making the text more accessible and enjoyable to read.
