Comments: Hardbound octavo, adhesive binding, A46, 1320 & (10) pp., 4 color maps. Concise Book Introductions, mumerous cross-references in the outer margin.

This Bible was intended for use by Roman Catholic readers, but it never received the necessary approval from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), so an "Imprimatur" and a "Nihil obstat" was denied. Consequently, not being an "official" Roman Catholic Bible, it did not gain the acceptance it should have earned. As there was no second print it fell short of the 2004 Revision. In 2017 the Catholic church granted an Imprimatur to an edition with the second revision text; more information on that edition is here.
