New American Bible

Revised New Testament, Catholic Edition

By: Oasis Audio

Narrated by: Buck Ford

Length: 20 hrs and 45 mins

Publisher's summary

The text of the books contained in The New American Bible is a completely new translation throughout. From the original and the oldest available texts of the sacred books, it aims to convey as directly as possible the thought and individual style of the inspired writers. The better understanding of Hebrew and Greek, the steady development of the science of textual criticism, and the fruit of patient study since the time of St. Jerome, have allowed the translators and editors in their use of all available materials to approach more closely than ever before the sense of what the sacred authors actually wrote.

The New American Bible has accomplished this in response to the need of the church in America today. It is the achievement of some 50 biblical scholars, the greater number of whom, though not all, are Catholics. In particular, the editors-in-chief have devoted 25 years to this work. The collaboration of scholars who are not Catholic fulfills the directive of the Second Vatican Council, not only that "correct translations be made into different languages especially from the original texts of the sacred books", but that, "with the approval of the church authority, these translations be produced in cooperation with separated brothers" so that "all Christians may be able to use them".

What made the experience of listening to New American Bible the most enjoyable?

I always wanted to read the Bible, but I have difficulty reading it. I had a Stroke 18 years ago and I don't remember what I read a minute ago. This reading to me, I remember....funny isn't it, but it is true.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jesus

Which scene was your favorite?

I have not gotten read, but the Nativity is my favorite as well as the death and resurection.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No

Any additional comments?

I will listen to it over and over again.

Old Testament???

I'm turning into a skeleton waiting for an audible edition of the Revised Old Testament, CATHOLIC edition. Jesus taught with reference to the Old Testament...where is the Audible Books recording? Please, the KJV is not a Catholic edition.

The Living Word Of God

I love it so much! The Word of God is living, sharp, and powerful. Amen.

ONLY NUMBERED CHAPTERS NOT BY BOOK NAME

Where does New American Bible rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

There is only chapter numbers and these do not go along with the books of the bible.

Very good!

Great narration. I just wish it was divided according to the books of the Bible, with chapter titles. This seems like common sense to me.

Disappointing overall

It is always satisfying to listen to Bible readings (Faith comes from hearing), but I noticed so many added words which changed the meanings of Jesus' teaching and the experiences of Him and His disciples. In the end I decided that it distorted the Christian story and has to go.

Good narrator

The narrator read with warmth and feeling but it was not overdone. The actual text was allowed to stand on its own .
