There was a lot of previously-overlooked things I found, and that was great. And of course there are doubled stories: Adam's creation, Daniel in lions' den. I thought about what Job wasn't mentioned to have lost: his house, his lands, his non-children relatives. There's "Ben-Hur" in 1.Kings 4:8 (thinking of that book, which was a dnf for me). The name lists still feel long in OT, but I can find some names funny (Muppim and Huppim strike again!). The pages were bigger than on other Bible I've read, so I got more to read with daily 5-page reading. Like with other Bible read-throughs, each time brings some new realizations (like the fact Adam & Eve didn't get the chance to taste the fruit (if there was any) of the Tree Of Life - which would've given them immortality). Some notes throughout, standard middle-of-the-road Catholic opinions. In OT each book has a small introduction. Unlike some other Catholic Bibles I've read, this one doesn't have Prayer Of Manasseh. Gold-edged pages on the leatherbound edition only.RSV, second Catholic Edition, with a 1966 introduction and a bunch of maps at the end.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.Beautifully designed typeset with a 9/10 point font size.Now the only Catholic Bible in standard English is even more beautiful in word and design! 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.
This revised version is a contemporary English translation without dumbing-down the text. New Testament and Psalms Revised Standard Version-Catholic Edition, Second EditionĪ 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.
