I got my copy of this Bible recently and I just love it! It's so pretty and classy. It feels good to hold, the print is easy to read and 'elegant' in style. I love the patterned guilding. This is the nicest looking Catholic Bible I have ever come across. Many I have had in the past have been plain and 'functional' but not much to look at. I also love that it's the NRSV and not the NAB which I have never really liked.

I got this for my mom for Christmas this year and also got one for me. If you get it from The Catholic Company, you can get your name stamped in gold on the cover for a bit extra. It’s a really wonderful Bible!

I bought this about a year ago, I love everything about it other that it being an NRSV instead of RSV. For this reason, I hardly ever use it despite the fact that it feels great in the hands, lays great on a desk, looks great in every way, lovely font, perfect layout etc. If it were RSVCE, I'd use it evey day.

My leather over board version came in today, and my initial impressions are quite positive. I really like the layout.

[caomhan]

I told myself that I wouldn't get another Bible with a paper liner and leathersoft, But this is one of those situations where I think that if I hesitate, I'll regret it. This is too nice to pass up, and the more premium version with the hardcover leather is a bit more than I want to deal with. I really like the illustrations, the font, the fact that it's NRSV... This might be one of those situations where I can always rebind it later if the liner comes apart.

MY GOODNESS - what a beautiful Bible - wow... just ... WOW

[shuttergirlUK]

It looks amazing! Space, good clear font, decent paper. I always knew my ideal Bible would be something like this - with illustrations. And the NRSV is one of my fav translations. Thank you for the review, it's very helpful.

The only downer for me, as I mentioned on another channel, is the cover. I'm not so keen on the heavy gold use. I guess because I'm a Brit and I grew up being taught 'less is more'...! The heavy gold looks a bit tacky to me, a bit 'Las Vegas'-y...but I appreciate a lot of people will like it, so I hope that doesn't sound too harsh!

Might get it rebound or beg them for a goatskin edition!

[paulcollins]

Cheers, Tim. Great review! I'm really tempted! Might you also consider reviewing the Catholic note-taking bible from Ave Maria Press? It's a pretty edition of the RSV with lines for hand-written notes in the margins. Thanks!

[StaceyUK]

That Bible looks like it would make a great gift for someone.

[Rben]

Thanks Tim for such a great review. We don’t get well made premium bibles such as this one. I got the genuine leather hardback edition and love it.

[craigmouldey]

That is a very attractive Bible for sure. The Didache Bible was a bit more within my price range which I just received. Not quite a good quality physically as this one but it has double column text per page with cross-references at the bottom. Functionality is most important to me. I also prefer the RSV over the NRSV.

[Rain-Dirt]

That Bible does look sharp indeed. Especially the shell like pattern on the side is really sharp. It's starting to cause an itch...

[glennosjv]

I have this one and I absolutely love it! I’m considering to have it rebound. But I’m still looking for a good rebinding company here in Europe. Shipping back and forth to the USA is time consuming and pricey.

[Birdwatcher]

Wow, I've never seen a bible that looks like that. Gorgeous! Thanks for the review. 👍

[Cliff_Dixon_]

Still seriously pondering this as a gift for my mother (slight revision: might be a birthday gift).

[sammywilliam]

Even though I may have a different religion than yours it is still beautiful and awesome to see this beautiful work respected and appreciated yeah I might be pagan but I will never disrespect your Bible hell I'll probably buy more just to respect what you believe peace be upon you love overhate and intelligence over ignorance peace over hate

[ChooseKindness]

Wonderful review! This looks like it might be a nice journaling bible or at least allow for some good note taking depending on the page thickness. Is this a regular NRSV-CE? I ask because I have seen some NRSV2CE bibles where it sounds like it is an newer, updated NRSV. Thank you!

[cdlikecdrom]

Got now this as my first bible, just approaching Catholicism from Atheism to find answers to current state of world, let's see if the wisdom of the bible can help.

[OneStepToday]

Anyone knows which other bible has the end Illustration index section? It should be especially on the ESV editions, all of them.

[clintonmumbower]

Hello. I was hoping you could explain something to me about this amazing Bible. Why do all the words that have “ct”, “st”, etc in it have a odd hook from the top of the t back to the previous letter? I don’t know how else to explain it.
