Catholic Bible-OE: Douay-Rheims

I'm really pleased with this Bible. Beautifully bound with lovely quality paper and the paper edge is a wonderful gold colour. In the front there's pages for presenting as a gift, writing Family registers(births, marriages, deaths).Great as a study Bible. It has elegant typesetting and the Words of Christ in red. It is annotated with references.At the back there's an Historical and Chronological Index to the Old & New Testament, the Beloved Prayers, Succession of Popes, a few beautiful colour paintings depicting the Life of Christ as well as the old maps of the Holy Land in full colour.The cover is a lovely warm brown and so soft.

I wanted to buy the Baronius Press copy of the same Douay-Rheims but opted for this one as couldn't find a pocket copy of the Baronius Press for a reasonable price (the Baronius Press books seem to increase in value expediently when out of print and for good reason!). This one however, the TAN books copy, is a very good alternative in my opinion.Text is a good size, nice colour pictures at the back of events of our Lord's life, list of Popes (yes it's a Catholic Bible) up to Pope Benedict XVI, and has a basic history timeline of biblical events corresponding to the years and a couple of coloured maps. It has the bits when our Lord speaks in red which is a nice edition.The imitation leather is really nice and has a good feel to it, looks good when put up on the shelf (in a special spot mind you) with the St. Benedict medal design. I would indeed recommend this Bible.

Wonderful quality and Jesuses writing is all in red! Awesome

I need to use a magnifier, but that's because my eyes are weak. The print is good and the pages of decent quality. All things considered, a beautiful Bible.

This Bible is an excellent addition to any Catholic home. A nice leather flexi-cover, good size text (for me at least), some coloured, laminated images, a few prayers, and even a list of all the Popes up to Benedict XVI. The words of Christ are in red, which I find helpful as the Douay-Rheims doesn't use speech marks, so sometimes it can be hard to distinguish Christ's words from the rest of the text. I bought this as a fresh addition for spiritual reading. A very good purchase.

A beautiful and well constructed bible with the words of christ in red. The soft covers make it particularly pleasant to hold.

Bought as a gift - really really nice quality, lovely cover, gold edged pages, presentation page, colour printing... Very nice. Thin paper pages but nothing unusual there. A little larger than I was expecting but still a manageable size. Bit pricey (twice as much as I was hoping to spend) but you do get what you pay for. This will last for generations in the right hands. I was going to give it four stars due to the price, but it really is worth the extra if you're looking for a good quality version for a gift.

This Bible is exactly what I needed I will not get any other but this one again if needed
