Why do you not carry the black cover version??
Answer: The black version is a different bible and different publisher**
***The notes and quotes from Saints and Doctors of the Church of the blessed Fr. Haydock are original and complete in the bible we carry as they were in 1811 when he first published them. There is a later reprint in black and burgandy available on other websites which is a later version by a different publisher, though it looks beautiful, too, the notes in that one are NOT complete, as many were systematically purged or "cancelled" due to political correctness. Now, since when is someone who is sincerely seeking God wanting to have quotes from the Fathers and Doctors of the Church deleted to please the enemies of the Truth? This bible is simply the best there is in english, if you want to get to heaven and avoid an eternity in hell.***
The Haydock Bible is a larger-print (12 point) format Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible with a comprehensive Catholic commentary (210 sources used!) and an illustrated Catholic Bible Dictionary and History of the Books of Holy Scripture reproduced from the 1859 edition of Fr. Haydock, whose superb explanations and commentary take up about one-half to two-thirds of each page. The commentary is drawn largely from the Fathers and Doctors of the Church - Absolutely invaluable!
The copious commentary (which is not large print) and accompanying dictionary make it the best English Bible available if you want to understand Holy Scripture. If you want a Bible that is not just the Word of God but will help you to understand the Word of God, then look no further! Old Testament with engravings and illustrations, Space for recording family births, marriages, and deaths, Tables (Biblical weights and measures, etc.), Historical and Chronological Index, New Testament with illustrated Bible Dictionary, Historical and Chronological Index and History of the Books of the Catholic Bible.
Perfect for Confirmation or Wedding gifts!
