If you understood what was going on in the world right now, and who is orchestrating it - you wouldn’t be praising anything Catholic!

I am always glad to see an improvement in the choices of Bibles for Catholics. The gold/pattern on the page edges is a bit too much for me, but the illustrations and font seems very nice. And the rest of the Bible seems really excellent as well. I wish they(or anyone else) would produce a volume containing only the New Testament, so that we could get thick pages, bold, dark print, and yet have the volume in a practical size.

I just got this for my mother. It is an absolutely glorious Bible - everything about it screams respect for Scripture. The cover is elegant, the font is highly legible without being too big, the illustrations are beautiful and the gold edging is just stunning - it is very discretely done and just adds such a touch of class. I have not given the Bible to my Mom yet but I am so excited to do so! Thank you so much for a wonderful review!

I have a few (KJV, Catholic Bible I've had since the 60s), but all of these names and acronyms are confusing and I forget what I've looked at and what they all mean. It's a bit too much. I like the looks of this one and illustrations, but what does "New Revised Standard Version" actually mean?

I absolutely love the layout of this Bible. The font seems the right boldness and the font looks readable. The binding and the cover looks really awesome. I'm not sure I'm so into the pattern gilding but it's surely unique. I love myself a hefty Bible, so the size of this one is in no way a bother to me, in fact I rather like the size of it. I'm not a fan of the NRSV translation, I don't like the gender inclusive language. Other than the translation, this is a very good looking Bible. Zondervan and Thomas Nelson are really putting out some awesome Bible. I would love to have some of the other major translations also in British English as that is my native language in Jamaica (the KJV obviously is already in British English). Sometimes it poses a slight awkwardness reading the American English of the translations. There was a British edition of the NKJV when was originally published, but I don't think that version is around anymore. Also there is an Anglicised edition of the ESV and NIV on Biblegateway, but there is no printed edition of either.

@@RGrantJones In my opinion, I think this is where Bible publishing should be focused now. I think we have enough very good English translations, so focusing on the presentation of the text should be their main focus. Thinlines or at least thin and personal or handsized Bibles are what the majority of people seem to want but at the same time they don't want to lose the readability and thickness of the paper. I'm not sure that the physics can work in their favour but that's what they want. Large enough print in a small package where they can take notes and underline with minimal to no ghosting or bleed through. This is what publishers should be focusing on, how can we do this, if it's even possible to get this done. I for one am not the greatest fan of thinlines because of their small print and often things like concordances, full set of translators notes, maps or even references and paper quality are sacrificedto cut down on thickness and if they are included, the font size is so small, it's practically unreadable. That being said, I like the direction publishers like Zondervan and Thomas Nelson are going. You're even getting raised hubs on leathersoft Bibles, two thick double sided satin ribbons and decent paper. All this make for a better Bible reading experience, which is what you want, people reading their Bibles. It's time for Crossway and to a lesser extent Holman to catch up, especially with their ribbons, not Crossway and Holman Bibles have some terrible ribbons and the Crossway has some very tissue thin paper. At least their fonts are very nice, but the comfort print of Zondervan and Thomas Nelson are boss at the moment. They are headed in the right way I believe.

Christian Book Distributors doesn't have this one, but does have one published by Thomas Nelson (also owned by HarperCollins). I wonder if they will be the publisher for this Bible in the US.

Interesting question! I believe the RSV New Oxford Annotated Bible (NOAB) started the trend toward Bibles with a larger number of Apocryphal works. The RSV NOAB was intended to be useable by Eastern Orthodox, Catholics, and Protestants. As a result, it includes 3 Maccabees, 4 Maccabees, Psalm 151, 1 Esdras, the Prayer of Manasseh, and 2 Esdras, works that aren't normally included in the Catholic canon. The NRSV version of the NOAB also included those books. And now one can find other editions of the NRSV that include all the books in the NOAB, such as the one I showed in the video. You might call them ecumenical Bibles rather than Catholic Bibles. Catholic Bibles will include 73 books, rather than the 66 books of the Protestant canon. The additional books are listed in kinyou z-nn's comment, and those books appear in the order shown in this video. The ecumenical Bibles I mentioned above typically place the Apocryphal books in a separate section. Older Protestant Bibles such as the Geneva Bible and the KJV originally included all the Deuterocanonical books, plus 1 and 2 Esdras. Since the 1820s, KJVs with the Apocrypha have been harder to find, but Cambridge currently publishes an edition of the Cameo with them all. I believe the Revised English Bible is typically printed with this set of additional books in a separate section -- a larger set than the Catholic Deuterocanonicals, but smaller than the collection of books bound into the ecumenical Bibles. Further complicating matters is the fact that a few multidenominational translations have Catholic editions. In the 1960s the text of the RSV New Testament was modified and, when printed with the RSV Old Testament with the Deuterocanonical books placed in Catholic order, it became the RSV Catholic Edition. More modifications were made in the first decade of this century, I believe, -- especially to the Old Testament -- and the RSV2CE was born. Something similar was done with the NRSV and the ESV, so there are now Catholic editions of each. So the RSVCE, RSV2CE, NRSVCE, and the ESV-CE were all originally translated by committees composed largely of Protestants, but they all include the Deuterocanonical books in Catholic order. The Douay-Rheims, NAB, NABRE, Jerusalem Bible, New Jerusalem Bible, and Revised New Jerusalem Bible all started life as Catholic Bibles. I've typed largely this off the top of my head, making minimal use of reference works, so the above may include errors. But this channel has highly knowledgeable viewers whom I trust will correct my more egregious misrepresentations!

Everything about this bible is perfect...except the translation. A shame.

Not a fan of the Anglicizing. But really nice Bible!

Beautiful but it’s the NRSV which is gender inclusive. Too bad.

I agree. Gorgeous bible and I love the single column layout and everything else. BUT I dislike the NRSV translation. I, too, would love to see this in the RSV2CE version.

apocryphal bible for Protestants and non-Orthodox Jews and Deuterononication
