The Bible, Douay-Rheims, New Testament

"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, New Testament" is an English translation published in 1582. Created by English Catholic scholars at the College of Douai as part of the Counter-Reformation, this translation rendered the Latin Vulgate into Early Modern English. Published in Rheims with extensive commentary and notes, it represented the first authorized Catholic Bible translation for English-speaking believers during a turbulent religious era. The work influenced later English Bibles, including the King James Version, and continues to hold significance for traditional Catholic readers today. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
