The New Revised Standard Version of the Bible is steadily increasing in popularity. It is highly respected among academics, including evangelicals, and popular in theological colleges, where it is preferred to the New International Version. The NRSV sensitively avoids gender exclusivity without any loss of accuracy or clarity, and retains the traditional style of referring to God as 'He' or 'Him.' This edition has an attractive, stylish and readable page design. It incorporates both cross references and the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical books, and will be an ideal edition for students and serious Bible readers.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Terrible print quality,
By Wildcats Fan (Fargo, ND) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NRSV Holy Bible: Cross Reference Edition with the Apocrypha/Dueterocanonical Books (Bible Nrsv) (Hardcover)
While the size and layout of this bible are great, the print quality and the paper are not. The print smudges easily, both in response to water and to simple pencil erasers. The paper, likewise, is thin and readily flakes and tears when rubbed with an eraser.
This Bible also lacks a concordance which would have made it a true "cross-referenced" Bible.
