This review is from: Catholic Family Bible-RSV (Hardcover)

Lot's of beautiful painting reproductions, church prayers, dictionary, study pages and a few other things. It's written in two column text. It's printed on thin magazine paper. Words of Christ are not red lettered. This is standard with RSV versions. It also lacks a silk ribbon marker. The great number of paintings is definitely a big attraction to this Bible, but I wish they were spread out a little more instead of lumping them together in only a few sections. The biggest saving grace is A Harmony Of The Gospels section. This gives chapters and verses, putting all four Gospels in chronological order.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Family Bible, May 12, 2006

This review is from: Catholic Family Bible-RSV (Hardcover)

My review is the only review here that specifically refers to the Stampley Family Bible rendition of the RSV. The other reviews are referring to the RSV translation only.

The RSV Catholic Version is my translation of choice. The RSV was the only bible being used in English speaking universities the world over (until the politically correct NRSV flopped onto the scene). All the best academic authors use it in their works, it is a true classic.

The Stampley Family Bible is amazing value at $50 and thus I give it 5 stars . If I'd paid the full list price of $89.95 I'd be less happy as the quality is good-medium not brilliant. The font size is excellent. I don't know the exact size but my ESV Large print is 12.75 point and this is much bigger. The bible is beautiful with its many prints of the old masters, bible dictionary / concordance, etc.

Fantastic value!!!!!!!!
