An excellent companion for reading sacred scripture,
This review is from: New Revised Standard Version Holy Bible: Catholic Edition (Hardcover)
The Catholic Reader's Text Bible is an edition of the New Revised Standard Version, Catholic edition, containing the complete text of the ancient canon with the deuterocanonical books. The NRSV is possibly the finest bible in English, being a reliable, literal translation, yet highly readable and literary. This edition has several attractive features. 1) It contains a complete table of lectionary readings for Sundays and weekdays, so you can read the bible every day along with the whole church; 2) It has a treasury of Catholic Prayers and devotions; 3) it has a 99 page bible concordance; 4) it has family record pages to record baptisms and marriages; 5) it has a picture of Pope John Paul II on the presentation page; 6) and of course, the excellent NRSV text with Apocrypha/deuterocanonical books. The NRSV catholic edition is the text for the Canadian lectionary. It carries the imprimatur of both the Canadian and U.S. Catholic Bishops, and is quoted in the English version of the Catechism of the Catholic church. This Catholic reader's text edition by Oxford is Anglicized (e.g., "Saviour" for "Savior"). This is the finest bible for Catholics, and an excellent choice for all Christians. |
