Confraternity of Christian DoctrineRezensionen

Easter to 17th Sunday of the Year

So I would definitely recommend this edition if you're looking for a definitive Catholic bible; the annotations are often helpful (though sometimes they end up feeling repetitive, but might be helpful for folks who aren't just reading it straight through like I did.) The introductions are also fairly helpful, and there are often summaries of sections. If I were to do this again (which I might some day, but given it took me over a year to read it this time it'll be a while,) I would probably change the way I did it and try to focus more on the text itself and less on the annotations, but that's about me reading and not the book itself.

I don't like how the verse numbers are in the right margin. It is hard to find a specific verse.

This Holy Bible is produced specifically to comfort and be a permanent memorial for the family who has lost a love one. The Bible itself has white leather cover hardboard with Gold inlaid lettering and is stored within in engraved oaken box with clasp. This Holy Bible contains Annotations, References, Maps and a Historical and Chronological Table. The Books of this Holy Bible consist of The Old Testament Douay Version and The New Testament Confraternity Version.½
