Top Comments of this video!! :3
Finally an informative video โ as opposed to the endless videos out there that rant on and on about a particular bible version edition's physical properties (like the type of calfskin leather it's bound in!) but never address the contents, which is what we are (or should be) interested in . . . also, the video is so beautifully done

As a non-Catholic, I found this riveting, and very well researched.
I have appreciated the Douay-Rheims and Confraternity Bibles over the NAB for largely aesthetic reasons: the former are beautiful while the latter is decidedly not.
I appreciate your perspective on this matter. Thank you for your efforts here.

Excellent video! I have a wide range of different bible translations on my shelf, including the DR and I use them all for different purposes. Personally, my favorite translation for prayer and devotional reading is the Knox version, which is another translation of the vulgate. It's got the solid Catholic theology of the DR, and gorgeous prosaic English that sings off the page. I'd definitely recommend it.

For history buffs, it's interesting to note the Battle of Lepanto (1571) occurred only 9 years before NT/DR was published in 1582. Wm Shakespeare began his public acting /writing career circa 1585 in Stratford on Avon -- only 3 yrs after the NT/ DR was published. He died 1616, shortly after OT/DR published. A vowed member of Church of England, during his life, evidence exists his parents were raised and remained (hidden) practising Catholics., so its likely WS had access to a copy of DR. IMHO, a reading of his plays /sonnets reveals many shades of commentary on the Catholic Church and its dogmas. And wikipedia says, "Scholars find evidence both for and against Shakespeare's Catholicism, Protestantism, or lack of belief in his plays, but the truth may be impossible to prove.[279][280]" So... Food for thought.

I'm 22, and I've decided I won't be a backseat Catholic any longer, and thoroughly read the bible. All the translations are rather daunting, and I've had difficulty navigating them due to the many prejudices and varying opinions from all denominations. I'm very pleased to have found a very knowledgeable presentation with historical backing! I'm now confident I have selected the correct translation in the DR, thank you so much!!!
