The New Revised Standard Version of the Bible is a complete and thorough revision of the Revised Standard Version, long regarded as a basic text for colleges and churches. This clear, modern translation incorporates the latest biblical knowledge, and yet guarantees that readers can understand the text easily and accurately. One significant new feature is the use of gender-inclusive words, instead of masculine ones, where this is true to the ancient texts. The Wide Margin Edition enables readers to make their own notes around the double-column text. For this reason, this edition has been printed on paper that sustains hand-written notes in ink.

Review
"Here then is a version with much authority behind it, still standing recognisably in the KJV tradition, and making a creditable attempt to satisfy readers who are sensitive to the 'masculine bias' of the English language." Canon A E Harvey
"As a Bible translator myself, familiar with grappling with the problems of translating these revered and ancient texts, I was repeatedly struck by the brilliance of some solutions achieved." Henry Wansborough OSB

Excellent 'Write Your Own Study Notes' Bible,
By A Customer
This review is from: NRSV Wide-Margin Edition (Hardcover)
Cambridge ALWAYS produces an exceptionally excellentproduct. As a pastor I wear out a lot of Bibles and use a lot ofdifferent translations. Just as a truck mechanic has a lot of various tools, and usually of the highest quality...so too must the student of God's Word have good, high quality materials. Cambridge's NRSV wide margin is just such a tool. Generous margins make sermon notes, language notes, etc. easy to write in right next to the text. I heartily recommend this edition. The NRSV is beautiful, the binding is sturdy, the type style is superb...I only wish Cambridge made this in a genuine leather binding. For college and/or seminary students this would be a great addition to your study library and you can have plenty of room for note taking. It would be a nicer looking hardback if it wasn't that mustard yellow color, but it's okay. Try it you'll like it. Cambridge NRSV wide margin is an excellent Bible, you will not be disappointed. END

Unacceptably poor editing for a Bible,
By David Chiang (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NRSV Wide-Margin Edition (Hardcover)
I like everything about this Bible -- the wide margins, the thin format, even the mustard cover -- except that I've only gotten through a few books and have already found 25 typographical errors, including errors in the text itself. I haven't encountered anything that seriously disrupts the sense of the text (yet!), but what I've seen so far does not inspire confidence. This Bible is well-packaged but shoddily edited.

The Word of God with Wide Margins!,
By Daniel W. Spigelmyer (Snyder County, PA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: NRSV Wide-Margin Edition (Hardcover)
Let me begin by saying that I really like this Bible...I was looking for exactly this when I set out, and have been satisfied with it ever since I've got it. The wide margins are fantastic! It makes taking in-line notes much, much easier.
Satisfied would be the best word to describe my assessment of this Bible however. The problem with it is the near tissue-paper-thin pages notoriously used in Bibles. It makes highlighting and even turning the page a chore. I am afraid that I'm going to rip a page when I turn it, but it hasn't happened yet. Therefore, my less-than-perfect rating. As far as the Bible itself, I have no complaint.
