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!

This is the book I want with me everywhere., 16th Apr 2024
Reviewer: Rene R
I wanted a New Testament with Psalms I could take with me everywhere, as that would be ideal for me. This one features a gold icon of Jesus, which is useful for contemplation and prayer purposes. The book itself feels very good in the hands. The pages have a cream color to them, which makes the book feel ornate (on top of the blue leather and ruby red page ribbons, of which there are two!).
The translation is RSV, but the “olde” language has been replaced with “modern” language. There aren’t the thee’s and thou’s, but the vernacular is consistent with the RSV translation. No surprises here. The psalms are numbered differently, as per catholic bibles—this is all beyond me, but the Psalms -are there-. The foreword makes note of this and guides the reader when it comes to finding the psalms.
All in all this is the book I am more than happy with keeping with me everywhere. I say “this is my New Testament and Psalms.” A Christian ought to have a New Testament and Psalms so why not this one? It is gorgeous and feels good in the hands. You can’t ask for more than that when it comes to your carry-around New Testament and Psalms. A beautiful book invites one to open it. This book succeeds.
