From what I have read, i have discovered that it is quite different than other versions because versions like the NASB and KJV or NKJV, translate quite literally so translate the words from greek to english where as the Jerusalem Bible does more of translating the meaning of the scripture. They just make it flow better and in turn is more clear. THey do NOT do what the Message does… It would be wise to have the NKJV or NASB next to the Jerusalem Bible so that you can have both the literal and the meaning translated. I love the Jerusalem Bible and the this version, (Not the readers edition) has many footnotes to explain things where as the Readers ed. kinda leaves you in the dark sometimes. Enjoy!

The Jerusalem Bible is a Roman Catholic Bible , but if you are not an R.C. (I am not} It is one of the finest Bibles I have ever used and is excellent for its notes and clear language. I reccomend it highly to any Christian, or anybody else for that matter.
God Bless,

The single best footnoted Bible ever published. This is a Bible for those seeking the meaning of the Word, not those seeking a literal translation – lots of those to choose from (which tells you something about the errancy of literal translations in general). The historical and contextual notations of The Jerusalem Bible are second to none. The New Jerusalem Bible and the Readers Edition are abridged versions and should be avoided as they lack nearly all of the valuable notations of the original Jerusalem Bible of 1966. If you can find one of these 1966 Doubleday Jerusalem Bibles grab it. You won’t regret it.

I was required to buy this Bible for Theology classes in 1979 as a Freshman at Seattle University. I concur with Scripture Studier. They had a huge panel of experts comb through the best scholarship of the time to do the footnotes. I’ll also add that the cross-references to other scriptures are extremely valuable. Of course, there are many New Testament passages that refer back to the Old Testament, but there are more cross-citations even just in the Old that one would imagine unless you see them. I was looking on Amazon, hoping to find an updated study Bible but nothing since comes close. I’d love it if an updated, online version would be commissioned. Then those footnotes and cross-references would just be a click!
I’ve read this Bible cover-to-cover a half dozen times, not to mention many times looking up something specific. God willing, I’ll keep it for life.
