Douay–Rheims Bible, Challoner's Revised Version
Description
The Douay–Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, the Catholic Church's official Bible. Originally published in two parts — The New Testament in 1582 in Rheims and The Old Testament in 1609–1610 in Douay (both towns in France) — it was produced by English Catholic scholars in exile during the Protestant Reformation. Created to provide English-speaking Catholics with a Bible faithful to Church doctrine, it countered Protestant translations and included extensive annotations to clarify Catholic teachings. In the 18th century, Bishop Richard Challoner revised the Douay–Rheims Bible to modernize its language, simplify its structure, and enhance its accessibility while maintaining its theological integrity. Challoner's Revised Version became the standard English Bible for Catholics for over two centuries, solidifying the text's significance in Catholic tradition and biblical scholarship.
