Catholic Bible-RSV-Compact, Hardcover

The Revised Standard Version dramatically shaped the course of English Bible translation work in the latter half of the Twentieth Century. It is still the translation used in official Church pronouncements, and serves as the basis for the scriptural text used in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
The Oxford RSV Catholic Bible features a Presentation Section, the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation (Dei Verbum), a section of Prayers and Devotions of the Catholic Faith and a table of Weights and Measures in the Bible.
Bound in a stylish black-on-burgundy basketweave binding that overlaps the book's spine, this beautiful compact bible is available at a surprisingly affordable price. The Compact Edition is perfect for travelers, students and hospital visitors, and readers on the go.
