Although the Confraternity translation was completed in 1969, a single volume Bible was never published.

Volumes were released serially by St. Anthony Guild Press in New Jersey as they were completed. Their publishing history is as follows:

· The Book of Genesis – 1948: this was a unique translation, the only one that was revised for the 1970 NAB
· The Book of Psalms – 1950 and 1955, reprinted 1959 · The Octateuch: Genesis to Ruth – 1952 (published as Volume One)
· The Sapiential Books (Job to Sirach) – 1955 (published as Volume Three — with Volume Two left to be filled in later)
· The Prophetic Books (Isaias to Malachias) – 1961 (published as Volume Four)
· The Historical Books – Samuel to Maccabees (1 Samuel to Esther; 1 and 2 Maccabees) – 1969 (published as Volume Two)

Since it's taking forever to get the Knox Bible, a modern translation of the Douay Rheims in the Confraternity translation would also be a helpful resource.
