5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully presented in every way, May 19, 2003

This review is from: The New Revised Standard Version Pocket Edition Bible with Apocrypha (Anglicized Text) (Leather Bound)

It's hard to find superlatives enough to describe this edition. Everything about it is both useful and beautiful.

A pocket Bible with the Apocrypha is rare enough to begin with, but--in addition to the usual Catholic Deuterocanonicals and Protestant Apocrypha--this little book manages to include everything in the Greek and Slavonic canons. It will fatten your pocket a little, but it's worth the extra bulk to have the extra books, especially if you're interested in the history of Christian thought.

The binding makes pocket Bibles from American publishers look crude. The type, even in the footnotes, is remarkably legible. There are just enough helps in the back to be useful without bulking up the book unnecessarily.

The Anglicized Edition is not substantially different from the American edition of the NRSV. If you're a pastor, lector, or writer who needs to use the NRSV in the exact form that's approved for the liturgy in your church, you might not want to rely on this edition. I don't think most other readers will notice the difference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful little Bible -- anglicised no problem for me, November 2, 2000

This review is from: The New Revised Standard Version Pocket Edition Bible with Apocrypha (Anglicized Text) (Leather Bound)

I am very picky about the typography in my Bibles--and for its small size this beautiful little Bible is very easy to read. I have the Burgundy Leather Bound edition which is beautifully bound and finished. This is the aforementioned "anglicised" version--I do want to counter the review above by saying that I don't find the differences troublesome at all. There are very few discrepancies between this and my "regular" NRSV...
