Bibles

Absolutely every Catholic should own a Bible. Translations like the King James Version and New World Translation are not Catholic and, therefore, should never be used because they do not even have all of the book of Sacred Scripture. The best Catholic Bible is arguably the Douay-Rheims Bible, which was translated from the original Latin Vulgate of St. Jerome. Although approved, avoid the New American Bible [NAB] and Jerusalem Bible; the footnotes in the NAB and Jerusalem Bible can be misleading for those new to the Faith.  Here are some recommended Bibles as well as Scripture Commentaries:
