Nathanael asked, 'How do you know me?' Jesus replied, 'Before Philip came to call you, I saw you under the fig tree.' These apocryphal books contain factual and doctrinal errors contrary to the sixty-six books known by all to be inspired Scripture The most popular English translations of the Catholic Bible today are the New American Bible, the New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition, and the New Jerusalem Bible. Aside from the inclusion of the Apocrypha, each of these Bible translations is reasonably good and accurate in how it renders the biblical text into English. In a move to complement a range of products essential for spiritual growth and outreach, in March 2000 Catholic Book Publishing acquired Resurrection Press, a general trade imprint noted for its Joy of…Ministry Series and award-winning titles in the areas of Healing, Hope, and Personal Growth; Meditations and Prayers; and Spirituality.

Yahweh appears in some Bible translations such as the Jerusalem Bible (1966) throughout the Old Testament. Long-standing Jewish and Christian tradition holds that the name is not to be spoken in worship or printed in liturgical texts out of reverence. [12] [21] A 2008 letter from the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments explicitly forbids the use of the name in worship texts, stating: "For the translation of the biblical text in modern languages, intended for the liturgical usage of the Church, what is already prescribed by n. 41 of the Instruction Liturgiam authenticam is to be followed; that is, the divine tetragrammaton is to be rendered by the equivalent of Adonai/ Kyrios; Lord, Signore, Seigneur, Herr, Señor, etc." [12]
