Publisher's Description

The NRSV has been grossly undermarketed and undersold. In our efforts to provide new and innovative editions of this beloved translation, we now introduce the XL edition. Targeting those who appreciate an easier–to–see setting, we have combined the latest trends in design with a larger print size. The NRSV XL offers beautiful and hip styling with a wonderful reading experience. No one will feel that they have been relegated to ugly and bulky larger print editions by purchasing an XL.

The New Revised Standard Version is the translation used by mainline Protestant churches, Orthodox churches, and by many Catholics. The New Revised Standard Version is recognized in scholarly circles as the most accurate translation into English of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. In the tradition of its predecessors, the King James Version and the Revised Standard Version, the NRSV was designed to be the "standard" version for English–speaking people across all denominations, which in many ways it has become. None of the new, more sectarian translations have approached its standards of elegance and accuracy.

Overall, this special easy–to–read large print setting makes the Bible a wonderful reading experience. It also includes a concordance index to help people find key passages.

This bible is the best I have had to read and to research at our bible study groups. At 83 you need something you can read when asked to read passages. I have used mine for a year and wouldn't trade for any others that I have seen.

Awesome Bible! Really surprised at the text large size + apocrypha. Put my own rainbow index tabs and a lovely stretch book sox and I am ready for study. Room in margins for notes, a nice square shape, perfect for my needs. The price complements the features and makes it an all around great buying pleasure..Thanks for this one CBD!

I like it. I bought this for the Apocrypha. I actually really like the extra large print on this. Its great for notes in the margin as well.

Reviewed by Carl Schweitzer (Venice, FL), October 09, 2007

I was surprised at the width of the book. It may be a bit bulky for an older person to read for a long period of time. I was disappointed that there were no maps to help one locate the many towns and villages mentioned in the Bible.
