Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Have Not Tried

Recommend Product: YES

It should be noted somewhere that the versions available for this program are for Protestant versions of the Bible. King James and English Standard (ESV) which are non-catholic.

Just would be a courtesy. I'm not criticizing the product, just the lack of clarity in the description.

BTW, if a NAB (New American Bible) version were made available, I would be one of the first to download.

Protestant - asrael22

We would be happy to have the NAB.
I don't know of the progress here but mainly we depend on whether we get permission from Bible societies to use and make freely availavle their bible texts.

Here is a list of available bible modules:

Roman Catholic Translations - albertpigeon

That's not true. At least two Roman Catholic translations are available for download. The Douay-Rheims Bible, Challoner Revision is available in the English [en] section and the Latin Vulgate is also available but in the Latin [la] section of course. Both can be found at:

non-Catholic? - friedchikkin

When I was Catholic all we used was the KJV, or did my old church not get the memo? :P

You are right to a certain degree, but they do offer one very good Bible translation that has the complete Scriptures.

The Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition.
Translation of the Latin Vulgate. Public Domain.

I use it all the time.

I hope that you find this acceptable.

Unworthy Servant of God,

Ignatius - priestmonk
