Coming February 2027

On February 10, 2027, the Catholic American Bible (CAB) will become the official English-language Bible for Catholics in the United States—the most significant revision of Catholic Scripture in more than a decade. Approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), the CAB will replace the New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE) as the official translation for Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours throughout the United States. For the first time, the CAB unites what Catholics hear at Mass with what they read at home.

The CAB includes a completely revised New Testament translated with greater fidelity to the original Greek and in full accordance with the Vatican's Liturgiam Authenticam guidelines. It also features an updated Old Testament with revised introductions and study notes, and replaces the NABRE Psalms with the Abbey Psalms and Canticles. Key Greek/Hebrew terms are now translated consistently throughout the bible. Example: 'kardia' (heart) is always 'heart,' not sometimes 'mind' or 'soul.'
