New Jerusalem Bible description

The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) is a Catholic translation of the Bible published in 1985. The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) has become the most widely used Roman Catholic Bible outside of the United\nStates. It has the imprimatur of Cardinal George Basil Hume. Like its predecessor, the Jerusalem Bible, the New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) version is translated \"directly from the Hebrew, Greek or\nAramaic.\" The 1973 French translation, the Bible de Jerusalem, is followed only \"where the text admits to more than one interpretation.\" Introductions and notes, with some modifications, are taken\nfrom the Bible de Jerusalem.
