Selecting a Bible

The Catholic canon (or list of books) contains 46 Old Testament books, which is 7 more than those accepted by many other Christians. These books are known as the Deuterocanonical books (or 2nd canon). They are also referred to as 'apocrypha' which means 'hidden'.

These books are Tobit, Judith, Baruch, Ecclesiasticus (or Sirach), Wisdom, 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, as well as additional sections to the books of Esther and Daniel. The number of books in the New Testament is 27, which is the same in all Bibles.

Bibles will indicate whether Deuterocanonical / apocrypha books are included, or will simply say "Catholic edition" or "Catholic Bible".

Bible Translations

Please note that the version of the text currently used in the Liturgy of the Word at Mass in Australia is the Jerusalem Bible translation.

  • New Revised Standard Version (NRSV): A commonly used and highly regarded translation.
  • Jerusalem Bible / New Jerusalem Bible: A commonly used Catholic translation.
  • Good News Translation (Today's English Version): Uses simpler language, and is a looser translation.
  • Contemporary English Version: Uses simpler language suitable for children.
