About the author

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is the episcopal conference of the Catholic Church in the United States. Founded in 1966 as the joint National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB) and United States Catholic Conference (USCC), it is composed of all active and retired members of the Catholic hierarchy (i.e., diocesan, coadjutor, and auxiliary bishops and the ordinary of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter) in the United States and the Territory of the U.S. Virgin Islands. In the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the bishops in the six dioceses form their own episcopal conference, the Puerto Rican Episcopal Conference (Spanish, Conferencia Episcopal Puertorriqueña). The bishops in U.S. insular areas in the Pacific Ocean – the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Territory of American Samoa, and the Territory of Guam – are members of the Episcopal Conference of the Pacific (Latin, Conferentia Episcopalis Pacifici).

The USCCB adopted its current name in July 2001. The organization is a registered corporation based in Washington, D.C. As with all bishops' conferences, certain decisions and acts of the USCCB must receive the recognitio, or approval of the Roman dicasteries, which are subject to the immediate and absolute authority of the Pope.

Reviews

[Fred Leland · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have been reading the Bible (The New Testament) for inspiration for years, not ever had I read the Bible from page 1 -the end until this month. For Lent I decided to do so and finished it today. For me it put my thoughts on better perspective as I read it page for page and pondered the scripture written in the New American Bible The New Testament. I highly recommend this edition.

Got some great insights as I read each day for Lent.

Read this cover to cover. In the first pages of this Edition it gives instruction on divine revelation and how to read the Bible. Each book begins with an informative introduction. Loved it.

A copy of this New Testament was given to me in high school. I was blessed to read it this year as my second trip through the New Testament. God is so good, and His Word is so nourishing.
