{"product_id":"the-new-jerusalem-bible-pocket-edition","title":"The New Jerusalem Bible  Pocket Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) is a Roman Catholic translation published in 85 by Darton  Longman \u0026amp; Todd \u0026amp; Les Editions du Cerf  \u0026amp; edited by the Rev. Henry Wansbrough. It includes the deuterocanonical books \u0026amp; sections. The text of these is included where they occur in the context of the complete Septuagint  instead of being grouped together in an appendix. Deuterocanonical sections of books in the Hebrew canon are identified by italics. This version of scripture is translated \"directly from the Hebrew  Greek or Aramaic\". The 73 French translation  the Bible de Jrusalem  is followed only \"where the text admits to more than one interpretation.\" The introductions \u0026amp; notes  with some modifications  are taken from the Bible de Jrusalem. The NJBs New Testament is translated from the Novum Testamentum Graece 25th ed.  with occasional parallels to Codex Bezae. Its Old Testament is drawn from the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia with Septuagint  \u0026amp; the Apocrypha from the Septuagint with Vulgate influence. The NJB is an update to the Jerusalem Bible  an English version of the French Bible de Jrusalem. Its commonly held that the Jerusalem Bible wasnt a translation from the French; rather  it was an original translation heavily influenced by the French. This view isnt shared by editor Wansbrough  who writes  \"Despite claims to the contrary  its clear that the Jerusalem Bible was translated from the French  possibly with occasional glances at the Hebrew or Greek  rather than vice versa.\" When the French version was updated in 73  the changes were used to revise the Jerusalem Bible  creating the NJB. The revisions were substantial. The revised version is said to be less literary  more literal. The introductions \u0026amp; footnotes  translated almost entirely from the French  have also been thoroughly revised \u0026amp; expanded  making it one of the most scholarly editions of the bible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945902927925,"sku":"ByrdShop_0385469861","price":81.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780385469869_f058a40a-ec8f-4131-8538-c53fb97fce91.jpg?v=1771765383","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-new-jerusalem-bible-pocket-edition","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
