5.0 out of 5 stars A WorthyTranslation, January 18, 2001

This review is from: The New Oxford Annotated Bible with the Apocrypha, New Revised Standard Version (Burgundy Leather) (Leather Bound)

The Revised Standard Version is a well done work, worthy of the truths that the book itself contains. By also including the "Apocrypha," the book is including texts held to as Scripture by the Pre-Nicean church. This is one of the available translations that has carefully been written to guard all of the facts within it which are so thoroughly supported by both archaeology and fine scholarship. As a Greek student at the University of Washington I would recommend this or the NAS.

This review is from: The New Oxford Annotated Bible with the Apocrypha, New Revised Standard Version (Burgundy Leather) (Leather Bound)

The New Oxford Annotated Bible (NRSV) is valuable to those who are both students of scripture and students of Biblical history. In addition to Old and New Testaments, this edition includes the Apocrypha, as well as insightful annotations and essays on Biblical hermeneutics.

If you're looking at this book I'm guessing you already know that the NRSV is a great translation. That being said I'll just tell you of the material quality of the book itself.

I have been impressed with how my Bible has held up over the last 3 years. The cover is durable, and the book is beautifully made. Furthermore, if there's any trouble with the binding, the publisher gives a lifetime warranty to repair it. This high quality publication is well worth the money spent in my opinion.
