The New Revised Standard Version is the most accurate and accessible Bible translation available today, and has been accepted by almost all major US denominations. Prepared by a multidenominational committee of scholars who based their translation on the original Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic texts, the NRSV is also the most sensitive text on the topic of inclusive language. It includes the most complete collection of the Apocrypha/Deuterocanonical books. A 96-page, select NRSV Concordance enhances the Text Edition's usefulness.… (meer)
My latest deep dive subject is biblical history, and on top of my decades-old New Oxford Annotated Bible and my recently purchased Harper Collins Study Bible, I wanted a version without all the extras that might be easier for just reading without distraction. I'm sure not everyone is reviewing the same version here. Mine is the paperback, which was a bargain at $5.99 on Amazon. The print is tiny--I mean the scriptures themselves--and the short footnotes, which are just references or alternate readings, are smaller still. The print does appear readable, however, and there may be room for a note here or there, although the margins are very small. I'll treat this as almost a disposable version, and see how long it lasts! I must add though that despite its reputation for being the most accurate translation, the NRSV lacks the poetry that I have come to associate with the bible. No one will be quoting many of these translations alongside Shakespeare, that's for sure. ( )
The package lists a concordance and ribbon marker, neither of which are in this edition. Otherwise, a perfectly acceptable pocket-sized version. The zippered closure was also unexpected.
