The New Community Bible provides a fresh, new translation of the Bible with commentaries provided by leading biblical scholars. It has clear introductions to each book, and extensive notes throughout to help ensure that the biblical texts are accessible and spiritually nourishing for readers. As its name suggests, it is a community or pastoral Bible that can be read by individuals or by small groups in the absence of a biblical expert. The Psalms are included in a larger type as an aid to prayer.

Archbishop of Brisbane, Mark Coleridge who launched the International Edition of the New Community Bible in Sydney on the feast day of Blessed James Alberione, the founder of the Pauline Family said, "Now is the time when we have to become a more biblical Church, a people more immersed in the Word of God. This is the best way to know Jesus whose voice we hear and whose face we see on every page of the Bible."

Features include:

• Simple yet faithful English translation


• Commentary on the Sacred Text


• Authoritative introductions


• Easy cross-references


• Compact lexicon of people, places and events


• Thumb index


• Marker ribbons
