Product Description
The Revised Standard Version dramatically shaped the course of English Bible translation work in the latter half of the twentieth century. The RSV Catholic Edition is the official English-language Bible of the Catholic Church--the translation used in official Church pronouncements and the basis for the scriptural text used in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
This superb Large Print Edition offers older or visually impaired churchgoers a highly readable Catholic Bible, with large type, clear page layout, and opaque papers. The Revised Standard Version has the traditional language beloved by Christians of all faiths, the books of the Bible are in Catholic order, and the text carries the Imprimatur of the Catholic Church. The RSV features a Presentation Section, the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation (Dei Verbum), a section of Prayers and Devotions of the Catholic Faith, a table of Weights and Measures in the Bible, and a full-color map section. The Large Print Edition also comes in multiple bindings appropriate for church use, personal study, or gift giving.
Bound in lovely Pacific Duvelle that's soft to the touch, or in durable bonded leather, the Large Print Edition of The RSV Catholic Edition is both an attractive and thoughtful gift and a lifesaver for anyone who has trouble reading. The durable hardcover edition is ideal not only for home use, but also for public reading from a lectern, in a Sunday school class, or other occasions.

 Just for travel. October 20, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I don't agree with the majority, apparently... I'll start with the (very) positive point : I am not an expert on translations but I very much like the RSV text - not unduly modern, beautiful but well readable - although this is a question of individual taste. However, this edition (Compact with zipper) can only really be used for waiting in airports or the like. Or if you only ever read one psalm or one chapter at a time - which is also possible. But you can't sit down and READ this version for much longer, the text is far too small (and I have good reading eyes !). Whatever you do, don't have damp fingers when touching the paper, it'll mark it for good : the paper is so thin (although surprisingly and very positively, the text does not bleed through from the other side contrary to quite a few bibles). The zipper is practical for pockets or bags, although the medallion is quite horrible and of plastic; but if you are reading towards the beginning or the end of the Bible (basically, all of the NT!), it is impractical to turn the pages because of the zipper, on top of which the latter is visually invasive. In resume : for occasional travel use, yes. For home or study, not really. But text, in my opinion, excellent.

First off, the print is quite small. Thankfully, I'm able to read it comfortably. Extremely well made, hand sewn if I'm not mistaken. The quality of construction makes it well worth the price.
What I really like about it the most is the cover. It's a soft. flexible and luxurious leather. It's a pleasure to hold while reading. I've become quite attached to in in the short time I've had it. I may buy copies for my grandchildren because 'They're not getting mine!'
