The The New American Bible was first published in 1970 as a meaning-based translation intended primarily for Roman Catholic readers. The original languages were translated into English according to the principles of Vatican II for use in the liturgy.

There are introductions and outlines for every book of the Bible, a listing of the lectionary readings for private devotions, extensive notes prepared by the best Catholic biblical scholars, and a thorough cross-reference system and maps of the Holy Land.
