New American Version

June 15, 2007

The New American Bible is a translation that is the achievement of roughly fifty Bible scholars. It was created in response to criticism of the Douay-Rheims Bible, which was the first English Catholic translation and was based directly on the Latin Vulgate. The New Testament portion of the translation was first released in 1970, with an newly edited version being released in 1986.
