The official Bible of the Catholic Church is the New Vulgate Edition, which recently replaced the Vulgate of St. Jerome, the official translation into Latin of the New Testament and the Septuagint from the original Greek. St. Jerome also used the Hebrew Scriptures to compare with the Septuagint, although the Septuagint has been the official translation of the Jews since at least the third century before the time of Christ. Translations in English include the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition, the New American Bible, the Jerusalem and the New Jerusalem Bibles, the Douay-Rheims, the Knox Bible, and several others. As long as it has an Imprimatur and a Nihil Obstat behind the title page, it has been approved as conforming to the original.
