For the moment a young person steps fully into the life of the Church - a Bible as significant and lasting as the faith they are affirming.

The ESV-CE Confirmation Edition is the official Catholic liturgical Bible for England, Wales and Scotland from Advent 2024, presented in a rich purple hardback designed especially for older children and young adults preparing for Confirmation. Translated by a team of over 100 leading scholars, this essentially literal, fully Anglicised edition brings the precision of the original Hebrew and Greek into clear, contemporary English - the same text now heard at Mass.

The distinctive purple cover, orange ribbon marker, and orange endpapers make this edition immediately recognisable as a Confirmation gift - beautiful to receive, and built to accompany a lifetime of growing faith.
