(enchant:?page,(text-colour:black)+(bg:white)) (enchant:?link,(text-colour:#a61e4d)) The Authorized King James Version, 1611, remains one of the most popular translations of the Bible in English, and has remained fairly consistent over the centuries. The Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition is an updated version of the original Douay-Rheims Bible which was the first Roman-Catholic Bible published in English. It thus has a strong connection to the Vulgate, in addition to Greek and Hebrew texts. The New American Standard Bible (1971) incorporates a lot more of Hebrew and Greek texts, especially texts discovered after the creation of the other two Bibles. Additionally, because it is newer, the language is more familiar and there have been scholarly advances in our understanding of biblical texts.
