What is the difference between Jerusalem Bible and Community Bible?

Roman Catholic AnswerThe Jerusalem Bible, and The New Jersusalem Bible, are both Catholic Bibles with copious notes, both introductory and footnotes all of which are approved by the Church both with a Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur. (The Nilhil Obstat and Imprimatur are a declaration that a book or pamphlet is considered to be free from doctrinal or moral error. It is not implied that those who have granted the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur agree with the contents, opinions or statements expressed.) The translation itself is from the original languages, and, for the most part, is exellent. There have been criticisms of the original Jerusalem Bible following the French translation a little too closely. This was corrected in the The New Jerusalem Bible. It is an excellent study Bible, and considered good enough that at one time, it was approved as an alternative to be used for the readings at Mass.I can not find Community Bible, although I do see a series of books on Amazon that are called The Community Study Series (for the Bible). This seems to be an Protestant interpretration of the Bible, and thus rather misleading. I would not recommend any Bible or study series that did not have a Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur.
