I wrote something interesting about the JB: UnixHere's a review of it: Read More...... ... one reviewer says that: "The "Jerusalem" version is really popular in England, France, and Canada." (November 4, 2006 Bradley Headstone "Sean ARES Hirsch" (New York)) (5 star review).... one reviewer says that: "the Jerusalem Bible has had broad appeal across denominational lines. It has been particularly popular among Anglicans and Eastern Orthodox." (December 7, 2000 Lance Goldsberry) (5 star review).
Here's a brief introduction to the Jerusalem Bible: http://www.whs.humanists.ca/lib/bible.jerusalem.html
http://jimmyakin.com/2005/01/the_new_america.html-> "The Jerusalem Bible doesn't feel even slightly Catholic in its renderings.
I am very happy to have the NJB in Logos and would love the chance to buy the Jerusalem Bible, especially if they got the full Bible with it's notes.
-Dan
The NJB is not good and has sometimes more translation errors, see for example this reply by a real Bible translator: http://www.christianforums.com/t7625834/
The JB is not the predecessor of the NJB. The NJB is a standalone version. Henry Wansbrough lies in the foreword to the NJB. When I collect information about different Bible versions I investigate things and don't believe the marketing.
I'm not asking for the full notes of the Jerusalem Bible Standard Edition. I don't have any study Bibles, I use real commentaries instead.
http://www.tyndale.org/TSJ/6/day.html
Has a good comparison of translation styles… NO translation is perfect and the original JB had serious flaws… The Psalms in the original JB I was told had several places where Yahweh was removed for stylistic reasons and replaced by God, I am told all these have been corrected in the NJB. Obviously each translation has flaws, the one pointed out above as you pointed out means the same thing although removes the mystical number 3, which is most sad, Judaism has always held several numbers in high regard (40, 3, 1, 7, 12, 10, and perhaps to a lesser extent 5 ). I am lucky enough to own the JB in 3 copies (the Large readers edition with Dali's art work, an imitation leather readers edition and the standard edition with slipcover) and I will consider myself extremely lucky to get it in Logos if we have the chance. The notes are important in these editions for explaining choices and translation anomalies, very often i see lit. "whatever" and then stating why a less than literal translation is made. I feel JB will be a wonderful addition to Logos, and I hope they go after it, but I will continue to use and love the NJB.
The Jerusalem Bible is ecumenical.

PSALM 23 The Good Shepherd Psalm of David.
Yahweh is my shepherd,I lack nothing.
In meadows of green grass He lets me lie.To the waters of repose He leads me;there He revives my soul.
He guides me by paths of virtuefor the sake of His name.
Though I pass through a gloomy valley,I fear no harm;beside me Your rod and Your staffare there, to hearten me.
You prepare a table before meunder the eyes of my enemies;You anoint my head with oil,my cup brims over.
Ah, how goodness and kindness pursue me,every day of my life;my home, the house of Yahweh,as long as I live!

I'm sort of foud of it! Guess maybe eventually I'll have to do my own translation
1 [Psalm Of David] Yahweh is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 In grassy meadows he lets me lie. By tranquil streams he leads me
3 to restore my spirit. He guides me in paths of saving justice as befits his name.
4 Even were I to walk in a ravine as dark as death I should fear no danger, for you are at my side. Your staff and your crook are there to soothe me.
5 You prepare a table for me under the eyes of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup brims over.
6 Kindness and faithful love pursue me every day of my life. I make my home in the house of Yahweh for all time to come.
Philippians 4: 4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand..........
I quoted the Jerusalem Bible, you have quoted the New Jerusalem Bible. I personally like both with perhaps a little more personal favour towards the NJB.
Peace, Dan! I always appreciate your sharings! *smile*

Oh taste and see that the Lord is good! Psalm 34:8
Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, e Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 2 Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. Isaiah 55:1-2 come, buy and eat!
Come, everyone who thirsts,
come to the waters;
and he who has no money,

Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price.

Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,
and delight yourselves in rich food. Isaiah 55:1-2
Part of my problem is I have so many favourite "Scripture Passages" and so many favourite Bibles that I'm hard-pressed at any given moment to choose and so many favourite Logos Resources!
It's like going into a Vacation Hotel Dining room with a fantastic and splendid smorgasbord! *smile*
fgh, please remember us this YuleTide!
A special Swedish type of smörgåsbord is the julbord which is the standard Christmas dinner in Sweden. Julbord is a word consisting of the elements jul, meaning Yule (today synonymous with Christmas) and bord, literally table. The classic Swedish julbord is the highlight of Swedish cuisine, a traditional smörgåsbord starting with bread dipped in ham broth and continuing with a variety of fish (salmon, herring, whitefish and eel), ham, small meatballs, head cheese and sausages, potato, boiled or potato casserole, soft and crisp bread, butter and different cheeses, beetroot salad, cabbage (red, brown or green) and rice pudding and beverages.
I just upgraded to the Verbum Logos software and requested that the Jerusalem Bible be added as a translation. It is just a beautiful translation. Good to see others want it as well. I hope it can get added soon.
Peace, Brennan!
I have the New Jerusalem Bible which I love, available only in U.S. and Canada. I live in Ontario, Canada. Where do you live? If you're in North America, it's available now for you. *smile*

A recent post about the JB: http://forums.catholic.com/showpost.php?p=10153535&postcount=4
I have 7 different versions of the Bible. 1) The King James Version, 2) The Revised Standard Version, 3) The Ryrie Study Bible - New American Standard Version, 4) The New International Version, 5) The Darby Translation, 6) The New Revised Standard Version, and 7) The Jerusalem Bible.
I first read the Bible, (Revised Standard Version), cover to cover in 1973; and concluded it was real, because someone, a very long time ago, knew far more about the future than any human being could have possibly known.
I then read the Jerusalem Bible (copyright 1966, by Darton, Longman, and Todd Ltd.) cover to cover taking notes. Wherein any subject that raised my interest, got entered, (subject, chapter, verse-s), on the top of a blank page in my notebook, and any further references to that subject or any related subject, got thier subject, chapter, and verse-s entered on that page.
After that I read all 7 versions that I have, comparing them on a verse by verse basis, to see if any one version was more accurate than others. Once finished, I concluded that the Jerusalem Bible was the most accurate overall of the 7 versions I have, the New Revised Standard Version the second most accurate, and the Darby Translation the third most accurate.

JHM:comparing them on a verse by verse basis, to see if any one version was more accurate than others.
What original language version did you use to determine accuracy? I happen to be very fond of the Jerusalem Bible, especially the translation of Ps. 4. But I'd be hard pressed coming up with a heuristic for accuracy that I would apply broadly.
