Douay-Rheims New Testament 1582

This edition presents the Douay-Rheims New Testament in its original 1582 form, before the later Challoner revision. It is one of the most important landmarks in English Catholic Scripture.

Translated from the Latin Vulgate by Catholic scholars connected with the English College at Rheims, the text was prepared to give English-speaking Catholics a faithful New Testament during a time of religious upheaval.

Formal, reverent, and historically significant, this edition is ideal for readers interested in Catholic Bible history, the Vulgate tradition, and early English Catholic translation.

• Original 1582 Text: The early Rheims New Testament before later revisions.
• Catholic Translation: Rooted in the Latin Vulgate tradition.
• Historical Value: A major work of English Catholic publishing.
• For Study and Prayer: Useful for devotional reading and comparison.
