Catholics use a Bible that consists of 73 books: 46 in the Old Testament (including 7 deuterocanonical books) and 27 in the New Testament. The Catholic Bible differs from Protestant versions by including these additional books in the Old Testament. The most commonly used Catholic Bible translations today include:
- The Revised New American Bible (RNAB), especially used in the United States and for Mass readings.
- The Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE), known for its accuracy and scholarly approach.
- The Jerusalem Bible (JB) and New Jerusalem Bible, noted for readability and good study aids.
- The Douay-Rheims Bible, valued for its traditional language and adherence to the Latin Vulgate.
All these translations include the full Catholic canon with the deuterocanonical books.
