 Wonderful study Bible November 30, 2008
I bought this Bible the first time through my church as part of a year long Bible Study group. Years later after wearing it out, I bought the Leather Expanded Third Edition. I write historical fiction and am very anxious to be accurate. I use this Bible as a reference tool as well as for personal study. I like the beginnings of each book and how they introduce the author, the time, and often the political climate when a specific book was written. I strongly recommend this version of the Holy Scriptures.
 Presents a liberal perspective on the Bible July 28, 2008
8 out of 12 found this review helpful
The Bible commentaries included here are written from a generally liberal theological perspective. The authors discount traditional teachings regarding how the Bible originated and was preserved in favor of more modern theories, which include late dating of the books and questionable authorship. This tends to undermine the authority and credibility of the Bible.
If you wish to explore liberal Christian theology, you may appreciate this study Bible. Otherwise, I would recommend you purchase the NIV Study Bible or the NKJV Study Bible.
Interesting and Hard-to-Find Content July 5, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This Bible has a lot of content that is a little hard to come across, and to me, that is what makes it so interesting and worthwhile. First of all, the "Revised Standard Version" has been, for the most part, abandoned in favor of the newer "New Revised Standard Version." However, this older version definitely has its own merits. As I understand it, it is the only version of the Bible to be accepted for personal and liturgical use by both the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church. Though I am part of neither of these faith traditions, it is interesting to know that you are referencing a bible that ALL Christians can respect, no matter what faith tradition they associate themselves with. It also contains the Apocrypha, so it has all the books that are canonical, even those that are controversial in some branches of Christianity. Nice print, good introduction to every book in the Bible, and solid, beautiful binding. Great Bible.
Excellent Bible for All May 12, 2008

This is a review for the Leather Bound version. I purchased this Bible when I became Catholic because I wanted a nice leather RSV Bible. I am so glad that I purchased this one. It is great and I have found nothing so far that contradicts Catholic teaching in the notes. I use it all the time, plus I use the "notes" pages to write down Catholic prayers and such so that I will always have them with me. The only translation problem is in Luke 1:28 where Gabriel is speaking to Mary and says "Hail, O favored one!" instead of "Hail, Full of Grace!" which is the more accurate translation (and that is in the RSV-CE), but no biggie, I just made an asterisk and put that at the bottom of the page. The only other thing I would change is that if they are not going to be in there proper place within the OT, I would rather the Deuterocanical books be in the center of the Bible rather than at the end. Other than that it is a great Bible! I would recommend it to anyone, Catholic or Protestant!!!
Excellent Study Bible - Excellent Translation February 15, 2008

The New Oxford Annotated Bible (with the Apocrypha) is my favorite translation coupled with the highest quality study notes of any of the study bibles I am familiar with. I have more than fifty bibles and this is the one I take with me out of town.
