Description
The Jerusalem Bible
Personal Size Edition
This new Spanish edition of the Jerusalem Bible brings together the results of the last hundred years of biblical investigation and comes closer to the original texts, simultaneously achieving a more pleasing style for reading. This fourth edition is enriched by the studies and research of the French Biblical and Archaeological School of Jerusalem (Ecole Biblique et Archéologique Française) and of the exegetes who comprise the new team of translators of the Jerusalem Bible in Spanish. The objectives of this edition include:
An even greater fidelity to the Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic texts..
A substantial consistency of vocabulary among the various books..
An improvement in the Spanish language style, especially in the poetic books.
The updating based on the most recent biblical investigations is responsible for the new elements incorporated in the introductions and notes, as, for example, in the introductions to the Pentateuch, to the Synoptic Gospels, to the Letters of Saint Paul, and to the Acts of the Apostles. It is also responsible for the new structure of the Epistle to the Hebrews and a considerable number of new exegetical notes in the New Testament. Hardcover, 1750 pages.
