What’s New in the Catholic Youth Bible^®, 4th International NRSV edition?

Create a Lived Faith…

We know that faith means little unless it is lived. So new Challenge sections encourage young people to bring the Scriptures to life through specific, suggested actions!

Interact with Scripture…

In Scripture Highlights, inspirational verses are featured to offer an opportunity to reflect and are designed so students can colour them in!

Nourish Relationships…

The Searching for God feature offers reflections and prayers that focus specifically on aspects of our relationship with God, and the Who Is My Neighbor? feature focus on our relationship and responsibility to others as a Christian community.

Explore the Bible…
