Saint Benedict Press Adds Deluxe Spanish Language Family Bible To Expanding Bible Line

Nov. 30, 2011 - PRLog -- Saint Benedict Press announced today its publication of the Sagrada Biblia Edición Inmaculada, its first Spanish language Bible.

The deluxe family Bible uses the classic Torres Amat text, a translation into Spanish of the Latin Vulgate of Saint Jerome.  The cover features a stunning reproduction of La Inmaculada de Soult, an image of the Virgin Mary by the Spanish artist Bartolomé E. Murillo. The original La Inmaculada de Soult was painted in 1678 and hangs in the famous Prado Museum in Madrid.

The Sagrada Biblia Edición Inmaculada will be available December 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.

“Latino families have a deep love for Scripture and a strong tradition of revering God’s Word in the home,” said Conor Gallagher, Vice President of Publishing, Saint Benedict Press. “We are honored to offer this deluxe Spanish-language Bible that will become a cherished keepsake and an important part of family life.”
The Spanish language Bible is the newest addition to an expanding line of Bibles from Saint Benedict Press, the only publisher to simultaneously sell all three major English translations of the Catholic Bible — the Douay Rheims, the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition, and the New American Bible Revised Edition.

Today the Press publishes 28 Bibles between the three translations with plans to release two new children’s Bibles in 2012, My First Communion Bible and the New Catholic Illustrated Bible.

Special Features of the Sagrada Biblia Edición Inmaculada include an elegant, easy-to-read typesetting, a special Family Record section on quality parchment-like paper, gilded page edges, and deluxe side-sewn binding.

The Bible also includes devotional aids such as an inspiring 48 page full color section on the Life of Christ; beautiful old master illustrations of prophets, patriarchs and other heroes and heroines of the Bible; and a pictorial pilgrimage to shrines and the Holy Land.

Special discounts are available to stores that place prepublication orders for full cases of eight or more; call for details (800) 437-5876. The Sagrada Biblia Edición Inmaculada will be available for purchase at your favorite bookseller and at http://www.saintbenedictpress.com.
