The word of God is something alive and active: it cuts like any double-edged sword but more finely: it can slip through the place where the soul is divided from the spirit, or joints from the marrow; it can judge the secret emotions and thoughts. Hebrews 4:12The Jerusalem Bible is a modern English translation of the Bible that invites us to deepen our understanding of God. First introduced in 1966, it quickly became the most accepted Catholic translation of the Bible throughout much of the English-speaking world, and has been widely adopted for use at Mass. It remains one of the most-used Bible translations in the world today.

Pages are too thin.
Disappointed with the product. The pages inside were too thin so the writings from the next page are visible. Making it hard to read. The paper should have been thicker. Very disappointed that I can't use this bible

5.0 out of 5 stars Cannot Recommend Enough - Buy!
Verified PurchaseThis is an excellent binding of the Jerusalem Bible. It is very hard to come by a sewn binding of this translation which will last through the years, but this edition is indeed sewn. One would do well to buy this while available. The cover itself is a cloth-like heavy paper over board that has no markings or text, save for the spine.
Definitely buy this copy as soon as you can if you enjoy this translation and would like a copy that will last you many, many years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Addition to my library
Verified PurchaseBought this as an addition to my library of Bibles. Am currently about halfway through reading it simultaneously with another version I've not read yet. Can't always agree with the rendering, but reading this way does make you think.
