Description

The Catholic Holy Bible of 1865 is a significant edition that reflects the traditional teachings and scriptural translations endorsed by the Catholic Church during the 19th century. Typically based on the Douay-Rheims translation—a version derived from the Latin Vulgate—it preserves the rich theological language and interpretations consistent with Catholic doctrine. This edition would have included the full canon of Scripture recognized by the Catholic Church, including the Deuterocanonical books, and was used for both personal devotion and liturgical purposes. Its publication came during a period of renewed emphasis on religious authority and tradition amidst growing biblical scholarship and Protestant influence.
