Features & Capabilities

The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) is a Catholic translation published in 1985. It quickly became the most widely used Roman Catholic Bible outside the United States and carries the imprimatur of Cardinal George Basil Hume. The NJB is translated directly from the Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic, following the Jerusalem Bible's approach, with introductions and notes drawn from the Bible de Jerusalem and adjusted as needed.

This Chrome extension provides access to the NJB audio Bible, enabling listening to the 1985 NJB text in a convenient format. It reflects the NJB's emphasis on direct translation and scholarly notes, supporting study and devotional reading.

User Reviews

Users like having the New Jerusalem Bible on iOS and can read or listen to the text anywhere, praising the translation. The audio feature is a key benefit for commuting and convenience. However, recurring issues include robotic audio with limited options, missing footnotes and study notes, difficult navigation and hidden/unclear book indices, lack of highlighting/notes, and a desire for an updated edition. Improvements in audio quality, annotations, navigation, and content updates would address the main pain points.
