Reprint of John Murphy Co. – P. J. Kenedy & Sons 1914 edition
An easily affordable Bible, published without some of the more deluxe features, making it more economical for the purchaser to obtain Bibles as inexpensive gifts for family and friends, or for personal use.
A reprint of a standard size Douay-Rheims edition based on the 1914 P. J. Kenedy & Sons edition, which was a reissue of the John Murphy Co. edition of 1899. Affordable and not too elaborate, yet durable so that it can be used regularly, and purchased as gifts without being too expensive.
The original edition was scanned and pages cleaned up as needed. Durable end sheets have been included in the production so that the Bible would last numerous readings. The Bible is sewn so the pages do not fall out after a few readings. This Bible is offered in two colors: black and red. Both styles have an attractive cover with a golden border surrounding the cross.  Bible paper is used to make the book less bulky and more compact.
Since 1609 the Douay-Rheims Bible had been the longest standard Catholic text used in public readings as well as for private reflection. And as is known among those familiar with the history of this Bible, it was revised by Bishop Challoner in the eighteenth century to make the reading of it more understandable. This is the edition currently reprinted.
We believe this affordable yet very durable Bible should be a welcome addition to anyone’s personal library.
