In 1944, the Catholic Bible Association of America was requested to produce a completely new translation of the Bible from the original languages and to present the sense of Biblical text as accurately as possible. The Old Testament was first published in a series of four volumes. The New Testament was completed in 1970, resulting in the New American Bible.

Further advances in Biblical scholarship and identification of pastoral needs brought about a revision of the New Testament in the New American Bible in 1986. This fulfilled the need for greater consistency of vocabulary, sensitivity to the need of inclusive language in favor of women, greater attention to public proclamation in sacred liturgy, and provision of more abundant and upgraded explanatory material. Although, the New American Bible is a Roman Catholic translation this revision, like the first edition, has been accomplished with the collaboration of scholars from other Christian churches in response to the encouragement of Vatican Council II.

In this translation there is an introduction and, usually, an outline at the beginning of each book. The New American Bible has widespread use by American Catholic people in public worship.
