“The Holy Bible is like a mirror before our mind’s eye. In it we see our inner face. From the Scriptures we can learn our spiritual deformities and beauties. And there too we discover the progress we are making and how far we are from perfection.”
—Saint Gregory the Great

Wonderful Translation
I love the Douay Rhiems translation, and this edition is beautiful. The cover is flexible like leather and seems very durable. I also like the color, not too red, more wine. It's a great size to carry with you too, and usually other people in the classes I attend have other translations, so this adds variety, and in my experience it has helped me understand the subtle meaning of some passages better. The language is different but I've never had a problem understanding it. I thought the translation might be similar to the KJV, but it's totally different since this is a translation of the Latin Vulgate whereas KJV is a translation of the Greek Septuagint. Every serious Bible student should have this version as a compliment to other translations. It really adds depth to study comparatively.
