Catholic Bibles & Resources

[Scott Ostrowski]

Could we get a RSV-CE2, an ESV-CE, and an NAB not NABRE? Also could there be the development of more Catholic Resources and open up mpre of that market?

Comment: there were several versions of NAB prior to the NABRE (revised OT). Accordance used to have the NAB. Here is the information:

 

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE New American Bible (NAB) Scripture marked NAB, are taken from the New American Bible with Revised New Testament Copyright © 1991, 1986, 1970 by the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, 3211 4th Street, NE, Washington, DC 20017-1194.  All Rights Reserved. No part of this work may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, digital, electronic or mechanical, including photcopying, recording or by any information storage and retrieval system, without permission in writing from the copyright owner. Version 3.5

 

The copyright owners likely told publishers to stop distributing the older version. I believe the NAB NT is currently being revised, so the current NABRE will be eventually replaced. This is not unusual in the Bible publishing world. The NIV has been superseded by the NIV2020; Accordance no longer sells the former. Mutatis mutandis, Accordance no longer offers the older editions of NET, HCSB), or NLT. On the other hand, you can still purchase the RSV with apocrypha from Accordance. Copyright owners and publishers vary.

 

Accordance users who purchased the older versions may retain them, but Accordance cannot sell the older versions. The only way you could legally obtain the older NAB is to find someone who has it and is willing to sell it. There is a process Accordance has for doing this, but they do not like forum members to advertise buying and selling on the forums.
