I got the pocket edition, which is surprisingly small, considering it contains the full bible. While you'd need quite large pockets, it would fit in a my coat pocket, or a small handbag or something similar. Its hardback and sturdily constructed, with a ribbon to keep your place.All in all, I couldn't have asked for more. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pocket handy *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 15 April 2026* Pocket edition.Was very handy.. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quite Good as Modern Bibles Go *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 9 April 2019* Space does not permit too much detail in a fairly scholarly review such as this, though I would hope this is written more objectively than just praise or condemnation.In a test of 257 verses that bibles have a problem with this bible along with its earlier version the Jerusalem Bible scores 205. The Douay Rheims scores 64, the New International 247. So, 64 is very good, 247 is very bad, and 205 is not too bad. The problem comes from its reliance on the Nestle Aland Greek text, so favoured by liberal theologians and politics. Nestle Aland is the work of man if not the devil, in that it, in its turn is reliant on Codex Sinaiticus, now believed to be an early 19th century fake, Codex Vaticanus, which is not near so old as is claimed, and Codex 2427 (have I got that number right?) which is also a 19th century fake.Nevertheless (and this is the pocket hardback version) it is a nice compact bible, which reads quite well on the whole, even though the print is quite small. I like the return of “Blessed are they” instead of “happy”, but in Psalm 23 “Yahweh” remains, but the wording has changed for the better, and that applies to most of the changes, they are better. However some of the gender neutral changes can sound a bit crass.I quite like the lack of notes. Notes are often written by liberals who would as soon break or test your faith as give you worthwhile information. I quite like the way that it is left open as to the historical writing order of the synoptic gospels. (This can be argued about till the cows come home).There are no maps in the back and no notes at the bottom to speak of, though there is an indexed list of names and a simple concordance at the back.Like most modern versions I would not use it to argue a point of faith, though it is not far off. So, yes, I quite like it. You could do a lot worse. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/48617828-njb-pocket-edition-bible-new-jerusalem-bible](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/48617828-njb-pocket-edition-bible-new-jerusalem-bible) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-02*
