Ignatius Catholic Bible

If I am ever chased by a Sasquatch I can belt it with this Bible and get away no problem !! Finally a large print RSV-CE Bible!! ....It's BIG. It's HEAVY. It's AWESOME!! -Good size black print on cream paper. I really do appreciate the cream paper because the print doesn't GLARE so much as with bright white paper. -I can't see too much of the print from the other pages through the page that I am reading. EXTRA STAR for that! -It takes light color highlighters without too much (if any) distracting bleed-through. -There's even a bit more room in the margins for notes! Not a huge amount but a bit more than usual. Nice! -A very basic cover - I'm going to have to reinforce the cover but that's ok. All in all, a very good sturdy large print Bible and I am happy with this purchase.

I love my Bible, really good book to have, it’s extraordinary, it’s not just a book it’s The Book. Thank you

Wasn’t aware that the size is massive and it’s very heavy too (my fault that I didn’t check the description carefully). I was actually looking for a handy, pocket-sized one. But anyway, it’s actually good for those needing Catholic Bible in large fonts. Nice paper material and was shipped securely. Overall, pleased with this purchase.

This is my first Bible in English and I am very pleased for two reasons: the size of the text is big and clear and second the quality of the pages, they are not too thin. It is perfect for me to mark and highlight. But it is not a study Bible, so don't expect much more, no special commentaries. One downside is that it doesn't have any ribbon but easily sorted out by doing my own one.

Hello I am Ryan Trundle, I'm a Catholic and a father of three; living in Liverpool England Uk. I have got a lot of Bibles and I have read a lot more from The Jewish translation to the King James version and many more but I know the majority of the New Testament and therefore it didn't make a difference to me if the word's was 'And he Spake unto them' or if it just said 'And He said to them'. Well this I will say the New Bible the RSV2 is very good. Now I do admit to being a complainer when the parables aren't in the bible in entirety. I believe yes the parables should be a section in the bible rather than only being in the teachings of the old and new testaments (we can't have everything I suppose.) But never the less. The font is crystal clear and the pages are of a good GSM (meaning you can't read ten pages through one.) This edition has been well condensed but it hasn't lost the love. I have spotted the occasional misplaced word but it does not affect the bible in any way. I would recommend this version of the bible. All Catholics and Christians should have a copy of this version. I do miss the Manasseh Prayer it is nice to read. Judith is in full. (Judith I am not your enemy!) I do love the fact that the Apocrypha is included in near fullness Amazing. Now the best part of this bible is that it is direct and I have read direct translations from the scriptures and it is near the same from 2000 plus years ago to modern day now without the oldie worldie snare that truly isn't needed. If you want the Truth as the truth then this bible is for you. Love it like it loves you. Thank you for reading.

I have quite a few bibles but this one takes the cake. Beautiful!

The binding and cover look and feel very rich , beautiful and vibrant. The pages are very fine and clearly printed for easy reading. Just the bible I was expecting and I'm really enjoying it.

Nice bible, text is clear with cream coloured pages. Good quality paper. I didn't know what bible I would get as some reviews talk about a soft bible with ribbons in situ, and others suggested it was a hard back with no page ribbons. As it happens I received the latter which I was a bit disappointed with as I would have preferred the softer version with gold edges and ribbons. Are there two different types and if so it needs to be clearer as to which one will be sent. I just found the reviews confusing but as I have said the bible is satisfactory.

I just received the bible today and I could not be more happy. The large print is a blessing. My eyes these days are not the best and this is a game changer for reading the Bible. I recommend this to all Catholics.

私はカトリックに改宗するまではプロテスタントで英語の聖書はNew International Versionを持っていました。しかし改宗後カトリックのインターネットの放送局であるEWTNにたまたま機会があって電話したんです。そうしたらよい聖書があるよって進められたのがこのThe Ignatius Bible:Revised Standard Version-Second Catholic Edition なんです。少しお値段が張りますがアポクリファも付いていてとっても読みやすく気に入っています。特にカトリックの方にお勧めいたします。絶対気に入っていただけると思います。

Beautiful and perfect travel bible

Bellissimo

They say the best bible is the one you find yourself reading the most. This compact bible has been great for carrying around and traveling. Below I added a few pros and cons of this bible. Pros: - The Bible is definitely compact, making it great for packing into a bag in comparison to a standard sized bible. - The print size is pretty standard without any difficulty reading. I have had previous compact bibles with significantly small print, too small for my liking. This one is nice and easily readable. - The RSV CE is a great translation for the Bible. Much like translations like the ESV, the RSV takes a literal translation approach, rather than a dynamic translation used in NABRE used in the liturgical mass. While I enjoy the NABRE, the RSV makes for a great study bible to reference. I personally use the Bible while listening to Fr. Mike Schmitz’s Bible in a Year podcast. While the podcast from Ascension uses their Great Adventure Bible RSV 2nd Catholic Edition, this one follows with minor differences. The 2nd edition uses some more modern language in books like the Psalms, such as “you,” whereas this version uses some old English language such as “thy.” - This is a beautiful bible that would make for a nice gift or a personal bible. While I’m not a big fan of imitation leather, the cover is a beautiful color, and the zipper is a nice addition. The zipper makes this bible a bit more durable when packing into a bag, and the zipper pull has a nice miraculous medal. The edges of the paper are golden lined which always adds a nice touch. - The price is great for what you get. When looking around for a good personal bible, I considered the Great Adventure bible from Ascension Press. While that one is a great choice, the Bible is $60, while this one is nearly a third of the price. Cons: - The one thing I don’t enjoy about this bible is the lack of section headings over the passages of scripture. This is one of the ways Ignatius uses to keep a compact size for the Bible. Rather than section headings, the Bible contains break lines between sections of scripture to identify different passages. A minor complaint, but something to consider when looking at this bible. - There aren’t many appendix notes, which is expectable for a compact bible. If you are looking for a bible with a lot of references for studying like the Great Adventure bible, this one doesn’t really have much. There are some notes in the end appendix, as well as some dogmatic notes and popular prayers which is a nice addition. Since it is advertised as a compact bible rather than a study bible, I would not really consider this a negative, but again something to consider when looking at this bible. Overall I think this is bible is great and a great choice that I would recommend buying.
