Revised New Jerusalem Bible


The Revised New Jerusalem Bible is an English edition of the Bible published by Darton, Longman & Todd.
The New Testament and the Psalms were released in February 2018, with the full Bible released in July 2019. It is a revision of the Jerusalem Bible and the New Jerusalem Bible undertaken by the British biblical scholar and Ampleforth Abbey monk Henry Wansbrough. Whereas the New Jerusalem Bible and its predecessor the Jerusalem Bible featured the use of Yahweh some 6800+ times for the Divine Name, YHWH, the Revised New Jerusalem Bible reverts to the use of LORD.
Features mentioned by the publishers include the use of gender-inclusive language and the conversion of ancient systems of measurement and timing into modern metric equivalents. The use of ‘shall’ for an emphatic or prophetic future is now rare, being generally replaced by 'will', e.g. in : It will happen in the last day.

Endorsement

The text of both the biblical translation and the accompanying footnotes have been granted Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur endorsements by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, stating that the Catholic church considers them to be free from doctrinal or moral error.
