[Blindtlk] Fwd: Looking for Braille Catholic Bible

[T. Joseph Carter]

Harmeet and Brett,

For the cost of an arm and both legs, you can order either the
Douay-Rheims or New American translations from the link below:

http://www.braillebookstore.com/view.php?T=The+Roman+Catholic+Bible+in+Grade+2+Braille

It might also be possible to find a Revised Standard Version.  That's my
preferred translation if only because I can have a conversation with
protestants using it as a source and we can be literally on the same page,
as it were.  It's a protestant translation, but it has been determined to
be doctrinally correct by the Catholic Church.

It also includes all of the books of the Septuagint, which are considered
canon by Catholics but not by protestants.  It sometimes includes still
others which neither the Western Church nor protestant faiths consider
canon, but are recognized by the Eastern Church.  You might try to find
the RSV-CE in that case, which has all of the right books in the right
order for a Catholic, and only those.

Do be careful of the New Revised Standard Version.  It's basically a more
politically correct rendering of the RSV (a trait most translations
produced in the past few decades share), and these changes render it no
longer compatible with Church doctrine.

I personally use electronic versions because they're easier to carry.
