The Jerusalem Bible (BJ, French: Bible de Jerusalem) is a Catholic version of the Bible produced in French under the direction of the École Biblique. BJ has been translated into Spanish and other vernacular languages, either in the biblical text or only the part of comments and introduction. It is valued for its introductions, footnotes page, and richness of its parallels in the margin. It is considered a bible of excellence for biblical exegesis and lectio divina.

History

The Jerusalem Bible was published in French in 43 installments between 1948 and 1955. The French version had a review in 1973 and an edition in 1998. Spanish editions and revisions have left BJ in 1967, 1975, 1998 and 2009. The Spanish version is printed by the publishing Desclée Brouwer (Bilbao).

Sources

The École Biblique used the original texts in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek for French version, instead of the Vulgate of St. Jerome. For the Spanish version, a team of Spanish translators also used the original writings in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek for the biblical text; while the presentation, titles, introductions, notes and appendices were translated from the French version of the BJ.En the following issues BJ in Spanish (Catholic) have been incorporated in new introductions and notes as a result of updating the biblical research.
