[Harper Collins] If you appreciate easy-to-read print, we invite you to experience the NRSV XL Edition - a beautifully designed and uniquely square-shaped Bible with extra-large text. This Bible allows for easier reading everywhere, from your morning commute on the bus to a late night study-group session. The XL's unique but classic design also gives you the added convenience of a Bible that is not only comfortable to hold but easy to carry ... and stylish too. The XL Bible also features a concordance, craft-sewn binding for added strength and long life, craft-made Amalfi cover with special, imported Bible paper, and a ribbon marker. The New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) 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. None of the new, more sectarian translations have approached its standards of elegance and accuracy. This edition also includes the Apocryphal and Deuterocanonical books of Scripture.
