Catholic Bible - RSV

A newly designed and typeset edition of the popular Ignatius Revised Standard Version-Catholic Edition Bible. This contemporary English translation revises archaic language of the first edition, but avoids dumbing-down the text. It retains the beauty of the RSV language that makes the Ignatius Bible such a joy to read. Now the only contemporary Catholic Bible translation in standard English is even more beautiful in word and design! Completely re-designed and newly typeset with 9 point font size. Wider margins and improved line spacing for comfortable reading. 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 Approximate dimensions: 6" x 9". Gold-edged pages on the leatherbound edition only. Nine reference maps in color: The Nations of Genesis Chapter 10 The Exodus from Egypt The Conquest of Canaan The Kingdom Years
