This edition includes the full Catholic canon (73 books), featuring the seven deuterocanonical books—Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach (Ecclesiasticus), Baruch, 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees—plus the traditional Greek additions to Esther and Daniel.
Why this Bible matters
First published by scholars of the English College at Reims/Douai—New Testament (1582, Reims) and Old Testament (1609–1610, Douai)—the Douay-Rheims is the landmark English Catholic Bible translated from the Latin Vulgate. Later Challoner revisions (18th c.) helped shape the widely used text read by generations of Catholics.
Trusted Catholic canon
The Catholic Church solemnly affirmed the full list of biblical books at the Council of Trent (1546)—“entire with all their parts”—which is why Catholic Bibles include the seven deuterocanonicals and the additions to Esther and Daniel.
