Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
