The English Standard Version - Catholic

The Introduction of the New Lectionary – Advent 2024

In the autumn of 2021 ACTA commissioned a series of talks
on the development of the ESV-Catholic bible. Well-regarded
Scriptural scholars were invited to discuss the contentious
issues of inclusive language, the implicit difficulties of
translation and the place of tradition.

The recordings are offered exclusively to support the pastoral
development of the People of God.

They are shared on the explicit understanding that they
remain the intellectual property of the Board of Trustees and
that they are not edited or amended without permission.
