The New American Bible

The New American Bible (NAB) is a modern translation of the Bible into English, primarily used by Catholics in the United States. It aims to provide clear, accurate, and accessible language for reading, study, and worship. The NAB includes the entire Old and New Testaments, with footnotes and introductions that offer historical and theological context. Published by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, it's designed to reflect the original texts while making them understandable to contemporary readers, supporting faith and academic study alike.
