Saint Mary's Press's best-selling The Catholic Youth Bible
is available in the New American Bible translation (NAB).
The NAB is the official translation used in the United States for the lectionary
of the Catholic church. The NAB edition has all the features that are part of the official
New American Bible text:
Extensive footnotes furnish the correct interpretation of a passage
or indicate a reading closest to the original languages.
More numerous Scripture cross-references enable the reader to easily
find similar Scripture verses.
Revised introductions are consistent with the scholarship and
content found in the official NAB introductions.
All supplemental content has been reviewed by the USCCB Ad Hoc
Committee for the Review of Scripture Translations, including the revised
introductions and articles.
Revised maps help place the biblical narrative geographically.
A revised cover distinguishes the NAB edition from the NRSV edition.
The NAB bonded leather edition is blue with gold stamping, gilded
edges, and a ribbon bookmark.
Over 650 lively articles draw on the most current biblical scholarship
and combine with the New American Bible translation of the Bible to address
the interests and real-life concerns of today's Catholic young people.
