First, it's only "The Jerusalem Bible" and I suspect it's missing 7 books. <br /><br />Secondly, the proper title is "The New Jerusalem Bible", published in 1966, it's out of print, and a very rare find - and thus very expensive.<br /><br />Third I have the 1985 New Jerusalem Bible, it's HUGE because of all the notes/side marks, etc, and the one pictured doesn't even come CLOSE to the size. <br /><br />The person at the forum who thinks that's the 1966 New Jerusalem Bible with patristic commentary obviously is confused. <br /><br />But thanks anyway! :-)Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-17051640728080628502010-05-22T01:09:40.189-05:002010-05-22T01:09:40.189-05:00Someone at a forum wrote that this is the full 196...Someone at a forum wrote that this is the full 1966 Jerusalem Bible - $9.19 at the Philippine Bible Society:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.bible.org.ph/store/eng-prod-22.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.bible.org.ph/store/eng-prod-22.html</a>Vincenzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15204262882202051257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-64034195984837085422010-05-18T21:25:14.514-05:002010-05-18T21:25:14.514-05:00A Future Nun ~ Oh, that's a good one!A Future Nun ~ Oh, that's a good one!Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-64341163158215476092010-05-18T21:21:39.902-05:002010-05-18T21:21:39.902-05:00You might be a teenage theologian if you get more ...You might be a teenage theologian if you get more excited to see a bishop actually implementing Canon 915 than about the latest CD to come out that your friends love. <br /> - a future nunAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-8546453257190767032010-05-18T20:35:48.585-05:002010-05-18T20:35:48.585-05:00Stitchwort ~ Thanks...I HOPE it dissipates!Stitchwort ~ Thanks...I HOPE it dissipates!Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-29867754398479409842010-05-18T20:26:21.097-05:002010-05-18T20:26:21.097-05:00Adoro, I think you've earned a bout of mushbra...Adoro, I think you've earned a bout of mushbrain!

I would have wilted and died (I hate heat and humidity), but would have offered it up of course!<br /><br />Also, thanks for answering Stitchwort's question. That is indeed correct. I have the 1985 version, which is DEVOID of patristic commentary. It also has some translation errors. <br /><br />Stitchwort ~ I apologize that I did not answer your question. I plead mushbrain! :-) <br /><br />I do have another New Jerusalem Bible, reader's edition I think, and while the language is more akin to the Douy-Reims, it also has translations problems, as does the study edition of the NJB, 1985 edition we got for class. But we bought it for the markings and the footnotes, for what is good about it can still be used and is quite valuable. <br /><br />But I would sell my gun for a 1966 New Jerusalem Bible!

I have the 1966 hardcover Jerusalem Bible, and it is indeed heavily sprinkled with footnotes, but most of them seem to be internal (based on a quick random sampling) rather than to the Church Fathers. But it still remains my second-favourite translation, after the RSV-CE.<br /><br />I remember when the paperback edition came out, and how most of the footnotes were omitted. <br /><br />Next time I'm in our Catholic bookstore, I'll have a look at the New Jerusalem Bible for comparison. I tend to avoid any translation with the word "New" in the title as so often it figures gender-neutral language which does bad things to my blood pressure. ..Stitchworthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05387323354607079249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-58572215547189649432010-05-18T15:46:36.579-05:002010-05-18T15:46:36.579-05:00Okay, I finally came up with one:
Your might just...Okay, I finally came up with one:<br /><br />Your might just be a theologian if…<br /><br />…you worry about possible Christological heresies embedded in well-known Christmas carols. (E.g., in the second verse of “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”: “…veiled in flesh the Godhead see…” Is that Docetist?!)<br /><br />Stitchwort:<br /><br />I hope Adoro corrects me if I'm wrong, but I believe the difference between the 1966 Jerusalem Bible and the New Jerusalem Bible has to do with the footnotes. If I’m remembering correctly, (and I may not be, since I’m dealing with brain mush, too) the first Jerusalem Bible had footnotes that quite extensively referenced the Church Fathers’ commentary on the Scriptures, which were missing in the revised edition. This is problematic because it’s sort of an implicit endorsement of the historical-critical method, which tends towards an anti-supernatural bias in Scriptural interpretation. <br /><br />Adoro: Your graduation was lovely—Mary Higgens Clark was the speaker and her talk was really nice—but it was hot!
