Re: Bible
Then New American Bible (the New Catholic Translation) - Thomas Nelson, Publishers (Nashville - New York) is “…translated (from) the Sacred Scriptures from the original languages or from the oldest extant form of the text…”
Quote is from the preface to this publication.
The original languages of the extant text are for the most part Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.
The work of over 50 scholars began in 1944 and the final publication was in 1970.
Don't overlook the footnotes while reading. Much information is contained there.
