The Douay-Rheims New Testament includes all the books of the Christian New Testament: the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), Acts of the Apostles, the Pauline Epistles, the General Epistles, and the Book of Revelation. The translation is known for its formal and reverent style, which reflects the Catholic emphasis on tradition and doctrinal accuracy. It retains many Latin phrases and structures to preserve the theological richness of the original texts.Over time, the Douay-Rheims New Testament was revised by Bishop Richard Challoner in the 18th century, who modernized the language while maintaining the integrity of the original translation. This version became the standard English Catholic Bible for centuries, providing a deeply influential text for both religious study and devotion.
