Catholic New Testament with Psalms-RSV - Paperback

by Ignatius Press (Author)

New Testament and Psalms Revised Standard Version-Catholic Edition, Second Edition

A completely new design and typeset edition of the popular Ignatius Revised Standard Version-Catholic Edition Bible, with minor revisions to some of the archaic language used in the first edition. This revised version is a contemporary English translation without dumbing-down the text. This second edition of the RSV doesn't put the biblical text through a filter to make it acceptable to current tastes and prejudices, and it retains the beauty of the RSV language that has made it such a joy to read and reflect on the Word of God. Now the only Catholic Bible in standard English is even more beautiful in word and design!

Features:

• Beautifully designed typeset with a 9/10 point font size
• The RSV, second Catholic edition is the only Bible translation that uses standard (non-feminist) English and is in conformity with the Church's translation guidelines found in the Vatican document, Liturgiam Authenticam
• Gold-edged pages on the leatherbound edition only.
• Excellent portability at only 4 3/8" x 6 3/4" x 3/4"
