Discover the sacred texts with ease and elegance through our beautifully designed app. Immerse yourself in the timeless wisdom of the Catholic version of the Bible, specifically the Douay-Rheims Bible, Challoner Revision (DRC 1752), which includes the deuterocanonical books. This revered translation was crafted from the Latin Vulgate into English at the University of Douai, France. The New Testament portion was first released in 1582 in Rheims, thus earning the name Douay-Rheims. Later, English Catholic bishop Richard Challoner revised this version in 1752, enhancing its readability by modernizing the vocabulary, spelling, and structure.
