The official Catholic liturgical Bible for England, Wales and Scotland - in a classic navy blue pocket flexiback with a debossed dove, small enough to carry everywhere, built to last a lifetime.

The ESV-CE is approved by the Catholic Bishops' Conferences of England, Wales and Scotland for use at Mass from Advent 2024. Created by a team of over 100 leading scholars, this essentially literal, fully Anglicised translation renders the original Hebrew and Greek with precision and clarity - in the same great tradition as the King James Version, yet clear and natural for today's readers. With the deuterocanonical books included in their canonical Catholic order, this is the complete Catholic Bible in a truly portable format.
