Wisdom
I have gained new insight into the word God of Love and Mercy. Blessed be the translators.
Great translation.
Love this translation and the fact that it uses Yahweh. Easy to read.

Jerusalem Bible
I absolutely love this translation of the Bible. It is my favorite. Itโs a little more poetic and easier to read.
Great translation and resource
It is a great translation and resource! Easy to use.
Nice App
Love it. Flexible on pad or phone. Audio is easy and optional, though monotone. I find it very difficult to highlight passages. (I couldnโt, though seems to be featured). All in all, as nice app.
usefulness of JB
Iโve been using this version for over 5 yes and love the simplicity of the language. It also provides an area for notes and helps you to highlight scriptures for quick reference points.
Audio
Itโs a great read ,the only problem is the audio . Some of the choices are scary or just odd honestly.
Not the JB, but the NJB!
This does not correspond to the 1966 version, as advertised here.
Love the font.
Easy to read and navigate with notes and more.
Search button?
Iโm unable to locate a specific scripture verse using the search button. This is a big fault.

Amazing
Misleading
Disappointed. This is NOT - repeat NOT - the original 1966 Jerusalem Bible. It is the 1985 NEW Jerusalem Bible, complete with gender-neutral language.
The Jerusalem Bible is Unique
I was glad to seen an app that featured The Jerusalem Bible of 1966. It is a unique translation done during a unique time. It was done by Catholics during the Vatican II era, which was a very ecumenical (unity among various branches of Christian groups) time. It came with a lot of notes (not included in app) with were very helpful and are moderately conservative theologically, and therefore enjoyable to Protestants and Catholics alike. The translation is idiomatic enough to bring out the flavor of what was said, yet without straying too much from the original language. The subsequent revisions of it in 1985 (New Jerusalem Bible) and just recently (Revised New Jerusalem Bible) brought about notes that are somewhat more liberal or progressive in nature. And the translation in these revisions revert back to some terms that are somewhat obscure to many Protestants, such as โsaving justiceโ instead of โjustificationโ in Paulโs writings. There are a lot of different translations of the Bible available out there, and none of them are perfect. But the Jerusalem Bible (1966) is a gem, because of the clarity of the translation, and the unique ecumenical time in which it was made, as well as the mostly helpful notes that came with that edition (if you can find a hard copy that has the notes). Later editions claim the 1966 edition didnโt rely on the Hebrew and Greek as much as they should have, but that claim is overstated, and most people use more than one translation for study or devotions anyway.
