CategoriesReligion

NABRE stands for New American Bible Revised Edition, a religious term abbreviation.

Revision of the New American Bible published in 2011, with a new translation of the Old Testament, and the edition posted on the website of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. It includes extensive notes and introductions.

Example: Catholic college students often buy the NABRE study edition for theology courses.

Usage notes

The NABRE retains the 1986 New Testament and revised the Psalms again in 2011. Its notes reflect mainstream Catholic biblical scholarship. The US Lectionary used at Mass has long been based on earlier NAB texts rather than the NABRE itself.
