Hey all,
The Jerusalem Bible is a catholic Bible, but it's older, and not as
chopped up as you might think.  One useful thing about this
translation is that the old testament verses referenced by New
Testament writers are mentioned along with book, chapter, and verse.
I wouldn't ever use this Bible as a primary source, but it has it's uses.

I would like to know what verses other people look for when testing
the accuracy of a new translation.  two of my favorites are the
portion of Isiah 14 which describes Lucifer's fall from Heaven and the
first few verses of the first chapter of Johns gospel.  Many versions
mess these two verses up or simply take part of them out.
Blessings to you all.
Donna
