Revised Standard Version Catholic Bible, Large Print Pacific Duvelle [Large Print] [Imitation Leather]

Joseph Gordon (Translator), John Carmel Cardinal Heenan (Foreword), Thomas Hanlon (Contributor)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2008

The Revised Standard Version dramatically shaped the course of English Bible translation work in the latter half of the Twentieth Century. It is still the translation used in official Church pronouncements, and serves as the basis for the scriptural text used in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

The Oxford RSV Catholic Bible features a Presentation Section, the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation (Dei Verbum), a section of Prayers and Devotions of the Catholic Faith and a table of Weights and Measures in the Bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars RSV Large Print Catholic Bible, October 9, 2010

This was exactly what I was looking for and expected. My only complaint is that this company uses special paper and they advise you not to use underliners, highlighters, etc as it will bleed through. I did get around it by buying colored lead pencils as they don't bleed through.

I have been wanting a large print bible for some time now. When I received the bible, I was very surprised to see that the print was almost giant size (13.5 font). It was too uncomfortable for me to read it. So, I am returning it. However, I definitely recommend this bible to anyone who has difficulty reading smaller print or is visually impaired. In addition, The RSV Catholic Bible-Large Print is a very beautiful bible-soft front and back covers, lays flat, thumb indexed and includes colored maps, art work, family history section, prayers, daily readings, notations. If this bible was an 11 or 12 font size, I would definitely keep it! Amazon, is it possible to list font size in the bible descriptions?
