This fresh, modern translation of the New Testament from the original Greek with authorization from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is eminently suitable for Confirmation, Graduation and Special Event gift-giving. With every page printed in full color, it boasts over 200 photographs, a mixture of archaeology and art reproductions that are culturally important for understanding the context of the New Testament. Brief, readable notes, cross references to biblical citations, maps and glossary are all included.

Passages reflecting the poetry of the original Greek have been retained in this format and citations from the Old Testament have been put in bold type. Large typeface and open space make for easy reading.
