Book excerpt: The Jerusalem Bible is a re-translation of all of the original texts of the Bible from Hebrew into modern English. "When it comes to Bible translations, readability and reliability are what count; and on both counts, the original JERUSALEM BIBLE stands alone. A product of the age of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), THE JERUSALEM BIBLE (published in 1966) was the first truly modern Bible for Catholics. Using definitive original language texts such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, biblical scholars of L'Ecole Biblique in Jerusalem produced a meticulously accurate, wonderfully readable French translation of the complete canon of Scripture (La Bible de Jerusalem). From this French original came the English edition, edited by renowned Bible scholar Alexander Jones." This book was originally published as a one-volume work. In order to reprint it in soft cover, it has been necessary to divide it into three volumes. This is the first volume, which covers The Pentateuch, the five books attributed to Moses, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy, and the Historical Books, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, Samuel I, Samuel II, Kings I, Kings II, Chronicles I, Chronicles II, Ezra, Nehemiah, Tobit, Judith, Esther, and 1 and 2 Maccabees. Volume Two will cover the Wisdom Books through the Minor Prophets. Volume Three will be the New Testament."
