Book Reviews of The Holy Bible: New Revised Standard Version with Apocrypha
Book Review: good value in an inexpensive paperback Bible
Summary: 4 Stars
The New Revised Standard Version is a late-twentieth-century updating of the venerable Revised Standard Version. This reviewer has become familiar with the NRSV as the base English-language text of the New Cambridge Bible Commentary, a project for which I am writing the volumes on the book of Isaiah.
As a translation, the NRSV sticks to the center of the road. Traditionalists may dislike the move towards gender neutrality and the subsequent loss of the solitary singular in, for example, Psalm 1. Inclusive language advocates, on the other hand, may consider this a virtuous sacrifice.
As an edition, the text is a crystal clear 'Oxbridge' style on a crisp page layout. As a paperback volume, it opens and bends easily--important qualities for a self-styled 'reader's edition'--yet without the fragility of some Bibles.
Roman Catholic readers will appreciate the inclusion of the Deuterocanonical, or 'Apocryphal', books.
The only out of the ordinary characteristic of this edition is the price, which for an OUP publication is exceedingly reasonable, if that is not an oxymoron.
A good choice.
