I am a student involved in Campus Crusade.

The predominant translation used is the NIV. Second is probably the NASB, followed by the NLT and then the others.

Personally, I use the NASB.

Catholics:
- Dynamic Translation: New American Bible (NAB)
   http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/index.htm
- Literal Translation: Revised Standard Version-Catholic Edition
   Ignatias Bible

[narses]

Almost every Traditional Catholic I know has the Douay Rheims translation from Tan Books.

[Frumanchu]

I know a lot of people who use the New King James Version.

Personally, you would please a great many people and do a tremendous service by including the Geneva Bible.

[Conservative til I die]

I won't get into an argument of what is the best version or which is the best selling in raw numbers, but I rarely see a Dhoay-Rheims bible in the stores, but plenty of New American and to a lesser extent, New Jerusalem Bibles.

[sockmonkey]

I'm Catholic, and I prefer Douay-Rheims, and Revised Standard Version. I can't stand the NAB.

[Fifthmark]

Any bible with "Hail, favored one!" is off my list, so I also cling to the Douay Rheims translation from Tan Books.

[redhead]

I use the Ignatius Bible (RSVC), although I also use an early Jerusalem Bible for occasional reading. The Church has the NAB as its source for the readings in the Lectionary. I have numerous Bibles, but always prefer the language of the RSVC.

Douai-Rheims bump

[Hermann the Cherusker]

I use the Douai-Rhiems (Challoner edition), and the Douai-Rhiems (Confraterntiy edition). I reference the Vulgate, Septuagint, RSV and NAB as needed.

Protestant: New American Standard Bible (Updated)

[wlansberry]

Protestant: NIV Bible

[dangus]

I would think far-and-away the most popular Catholic bible is the New American. Pure Apostasy, unfortunately. And I hate trying to read across all the subheadings, etc. You know it's bad when Cardinal BERNADIN actually made it MORE conservative.

I'm partial to the Jerusalem bible, but it's a farely rare. Honestly, I don't think I've ever *seen* a Douay-Rheims bible in real, live, hardcopy print.

"Good News" bibles, ("The Living Bible?") which are Protestant in origin, but have been appended to include the Catholic books are common entry-level bible for Catholics.

I don't remeber where I saw it, but overall, I think the NIV outsells the KJV, but that is misleading, I bet... NIVs are tossed out like cookies at retreats, etc., but I bet most people's family bible, or treasured bible is the KJV.
I think nationally it's something like NIV 35%, AV+RSV, 30%.

[eastsider]

I use the Jerusalem Bible (Catholic) at home, although I cite the NIV when posting.

[Domestic Church]

I've got a Douay and a Jerusalem.

Do Catholics read the Bible?

[GreyFriar]

I'm Protestant, but am very partial to the New Jerusalem Bible. I also use the Zonderman NIV Study Bible. I have found the new "The Way" translation/paraphrase version useful because the 'author' has adapted the parables to items which modern folk will understand. (The sense of the original is still there, I'm referring to changing agrarian examples to modern urban equivalent in some places.)
