Immerse yourself in the sacred scriptures with our beautifully designed Catholic version of the Bible app, featuring the Douay-Rheims Bible, Challoner Revision (DRC 1752). This app includes the deuterocanonical books, offering a comprehensive reading experience of the Catholic faith.
The Douay-Rheims Bible is a revered translation from the Latin Vulgate into English, crafted at the University of Douai in France. The New Testament was first published in 1582 at Rheims, hence the name Douay-Rheims. This version was later revised by the English Catholic bishop Richard Challoner in 1752, who modernized the vocabulary, spelling, and structure to enhance readability.
