Different Bible Versions

“Let us continue reading the Bible and study the history of the Bible,” says Fr. Henry Campeon, Parish Priest of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, Bangkal, Davao City as he was pleased seeing many bibles in the exhibit as the Parish launched its Bible Month with Bible Gallery held at the main entrance of the church last 29 January 2023, with hundreds of bibles with different versions showcased for many parishioners and churchgoers to view.

Various bibles of different versions since 1990s owned by Bro. Jun Jumo of the Knights of Saint Justin Martyr of the OLLP Bible Apostolate welcomed many parishioners from 6:30am until 2:30pm.

The Bible Month had the theme, “The Word leads to the way, the truth and the life,” that heralds the significance of reading the bible in our Christian lives.

“Though bibles were published in different versions, reading the bible will surely lead the people to the way, the truth and the life, illumined by the works of Jesus Christ,” Jumo exclaimed.

Bro. Jumo’s collection of both Catholic and Protestant bibles include, among others, Sagrada Biblia (Spanish), Biblia Sacra Vulgata (Latin), Douay-Rhems version and The Jerusalem Bible version. (Vonz M. Hijada, OLLP SoCCom)
