The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Complete
"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Complete" is an English translation of the Bible published between 1582 and 1610. Created by scholars at the English College in Douai as a Counter-Reformation effort, this work translates the Latin Vulgate into Early Modern English. The New Testament appeared in Rheims in 1582, while the Old Testament followed in two volumes decades later. Extensively annotated and later revised by Bishop Richard Challoner in the 1740s-1750s, it remains influential
among traditional English-speaking Catholics, offering a distinctive Catholic perspective on scripture during a turbulent period of religious reform. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
