Almost Really Good!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: NRSV Standard Catholic Ed Bible Anglicized (Tan/Red) (Hardcover)
It has been truly wonderful that HarperCollins has come out in recent years with new editions of the NRSV, in particular specifically Catholic versions. This edition has many good qualities, but falls short in two important areas in my opinion.
Good Points: 1) The size is really nice....not too big, yet not too small 2) I really like the single column format for many of the Biblical books. I am not sure why more Bible publishers don't do this. It is really easy on the eyes and makes it a pleasure to read. 3) The overall product has a feel of being made well. Bad Points: 1) The paper is way too thin! The bleed-through, if you use pen or pencil is very distracting. 2) I would have liked to see a few more things added to this volume, like some basic Bible maps, modest cross-referencing, and maybe the three year Sunday Mass readings. Overall, I think it is a great step in a positive direction, but I hope any future editions will go the next step. Also, I would have liked the option of getting a leather edition. |
