ABOUT THE TRANSLATION

Translated by a multi-denominational committee, and based on the original Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic, the New Revised Standard Version is widely used by English-speaking congregations throughout the world.

ABOUT THE APOCRYPHA

The Apocrypha is a collection of books found in the Septuagint—the Greek version of the Jewish Bible. Though not incorporated into the final, canonical version of the Hebrew scriptures, they were included in important Bible translations such as the Latin Vulgate and the original King James Version of 1611. For centuries the books of the Apocrypha have had a significant influence on Christian art, literature, and theology.

Customer Reviews

NRSV Bible
The book is well bound and nice to handle. But what I really enjoy is how the NRSV helps me understand the KJV better. I also have enjoyed reading the Apocryphal books. In addition to the standard Apocryphal books, this version also includes some psuedopigraphical books. Great help to my gospel study.

Well done
Service was execellent and shipping timely. I enjoy this version of the Holy Scripture. I serves we very well in my studies
