This magnificent duplication of the original 1884 text includes an illustrated Bible Dictionary and a history of the books of the Bible in one volume. The burgundy colored leather cover is gold embossed with a gold cross with rich Catholic symbols duplicating the original pattern. The best known Douay-Rheims Bibles were known as "Haydock's Bibles" because of the powerful footnotes or commentary that was selected by Fr. Haydock to help the faithful to understand Scripture according to the mind of the Church. It includes notes from other eminent scholars which soundly refute Protestant errors on various passages from the Bible and gives important historical explanations to help every reader to better understand God's Holy Word. With this edition it is possible for all to hold those passages of Scripture with the mind of the Chuch. We can know what Our Lord wants us to know with certainty. No more opinions of so-called "experts" or faithless theologians.
