What is the Douay -Rheims version of the Bible?
This is the story of the real Douay Rheims bible. 1. The real one was translated into English from the Latin Vulgate in the late 1500s, early 1600s. 2. This was ruined by Bishop Challoner. This is the Douay Rheims you see all over the place today. 3. Haydock continued the ruination using Challoner's text. 4. The true Latin Vulgate transliterated into English (not a word changed, just literally translated and ancient spellings modernized) is the "real Douay Rheims". Translated by Dr. William von Peters. Found at www.RealDouayRheims.com. This is the only true Bible in all the world. The Latin Vulgate is the oldest Bible text available anywhere and was used for 1,000 years, based itself on the Greek Septuagint (translated by 70 scholars, who all miraculously agreed on the translation). The 70 scholars codified the ancient Aramaic and Jewish texts into the Septuagint. There are no other texts! Don't believe it for a minute. There's nothing else, nothing older.
