Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douay%E2%80%93Rheims_Bible The Old Testament (Vol I-II Books) The New Testament (Vol III Books) David Widger "The Holy Bible" is a sacred text traditionally attributed to various authors over a span of centuries, its earliest texts dating back to ancient times. The Douay-Rheims version is a complete translation derived from the Latin Vulgate, with the Old Testament first published in the early 17th century. The book encapsulates the foundational stories and teachings of Christianity, including the narratives of creation, the lives of the patriarchs, the laws given to Israel, the life and teachings of Jesus, and the early Christian church. The opening portion of the text introduces the Book of Genesis, which details the creation of the world and the early history of humankind. It begins with the famous assertion that "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth," and recounts the creation process over six days, culminating in the creation of man in God's image. Key figures such as Adam and Eve are introduced, alongside foundational narratives such as their life in the Garden of Eden, the temptation by the serpent, and the subsequent fall from grace, setting the stage for themes of sin, redemption, and the unfolding human story. This opening establishes the theological underpinnings of the Bible, making it not only a religious document but also a historical and cultural cornerstone of Western civilization.
