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 served as the basis for the scriptural text used in the Catechism of the CatholicChurch. Travelers, students and hospital visitors are among the people that will benefit from having the Compact Edition. It 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 Weightsand Measures in the Bible. Bound in lovely black-on-gray Pacific DuvelleTM that's soft to the touch.… (more)
This book is to be highly recommended. It should be required text for any scripture course. An excellent easy to read book on God's relationship with his people: a covenant relationship, made over and over again, throughout Salvation History, culminating in the New Covenant, Jesus Christ. Covenant is the link that ties Old and New Testament and is explained in such an easy to understand way.
I am not a scholar and I need help to put the Bible in perspective. Sometimes I get confused with the Bible in the understanding the context and the concept of the parts to the whole ... this is especially true for me in the Old Testament. I need a way to cut through the confusion. Now I can grasp the entire Bible as a Salvation Covenant Plan which Divinely inspires me. Thank you.
Scripture is your guide to what matters most in life. If you regularly read and pray with Scripture, these verses will provide you rich food for thought. No matter what your situation, the Bible will help you evaluate the choices and make the decisions that confront you every day. Either explicitly or implicitly, Scripture addresses all of life's problems, worries, dangers, questions and uncertainties. ( )
This is the Holy Bible: Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition. Please do not combine this with any other translation or version or with the Protestant edition of the RSV. Do not combine with the RSV New Testament alone, or with "study" bibles with extensive annotations and notes. Copies with standard references and "helps" should be combined here.
