Immerse yourself in the sacred scriptures with our beautifully crafted Catholic Bible app, featuring the revered Douay-Rheims Bible, Challoner Revision (DRC 1752). This version includes the deuterocanonical books, offering a complete and enriching experience of the Word.
The Douay-Rheims Bible is a cherished translation of the Latin Vulgate into English, originally undertaken at the University of Douai, France. Its New Testament was first published in 1582 in Rheims, France, hence its name. Later, in 1752, English Catholic bishop Richard Challoner revised this translation, updating its vocabulary, spelling, and structure to enhance readability while preserving its traditional essence.
