This so-called Bible is nothing more than a piece of liberal hogwash dressed in the trappings of religion - and I DON'T mean the Christian religion, either. I mean the religion of worshiping creature rather than the Creator.
And besides, the New Revised Standard Version is a perverted mistranslation of Scripture anyway.

The Green Bible is a long time in coming! Too often Christians in the West have been taught to ignore God's presence within His Creation. Hopefully, this will give them an appreciation for His Revelation in both Creation and the Scriptures. Can be get a study bible next?

I collect bibles of all kinds. I found this to be interesting because it focuses on our creation the earth. I bought extras as gifts.

Extremely happy with this - keep in mind it can't be engraved because of the material the cover is made out of.
