Bible: New American Bible, Revised Edition 2011
We are proud to release an electronic edition of the New American Bible: Revised Edition (NABRE), which features an excellent formatting true to the paper edition and multiple navigation aids, which allow opening any verse in the Bible in seconds (as explained in detail in the book itself; this feature is not supported by Kindle Fire). Note however that Kindle Fire does not support some of the navigation aids. All material, including footnotes, is preserved and crossreferenced within the text. This is the one electronic Bible that every believer must have because it is more convenient and faster to use than the paper edition.<br><br>The NABRE accomplishes three major goals in Biblical scholarship: First, a more accurate translation aided by modern archeological and historical discoveries; second, a more consistent rendering of the Greek and Hebrew to more closely express the meaning of the original text; and third, revisions in the NABRE reflect changes in modern English usage of particular words.<br><br>=============<br><br>NEW TESTAMENT<br>Nihil Obstat: Stephen J.
