New Line of CTS Bibles

Thank you to reader Michael who pointed out the new line of CTS Bibles from the UK. The New Catholic Bible contains the Jerusalem Bible (minus the use of Yahweh) with the Grail Psalter. While these look wonderful, one has to wonder why these are being published if the UK Lectionary will be changing to the ESV sooner rather than later. Hmm.....

They include the following:

New Testament and Psalms
Book of Psalms
New Catholic Bible Compact Flexi-Bound
New Catholic Bible Flexi-Bound Blue
New Catholic Bible Flexi-Bound Red
New Catholic Bible Paperback

Most interesting to me of these offerings is the New Testament and Psalms because it is single column format. For those who prefer single column, this is one of the only options, regardless of translation, available for a New Testament / Psalms edition.

Yes, that looks quite good. Cambridge use to publish a thin pocket NRSV NT and Psalms which was very nice as well.; February 7, 2013 at 5:39 PM

I found it at a Catholic gift shop in Australia and paid $62, which included shipping. Took forever to arrive by international mail, but am very pleased with this edition which is basically the Jerusalem Bible with single column format. The print is smaller than I would prefer (8 pt, I believe) but still very readable. I really like this version. It has notes on the bottom of the pages and some other nice features.; December 4, 2015 at 7:24 AM

Prayer of Thomas Merton

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always, though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
