Grow in Wisdom of the Word with the NRSV (New Revised Standard Version) Bible edition designed with the needs of today's Catholic readers in mind! Catholics today are being called by Pope John Paul II, by the Second Vatican Council, and by their own hearts to come to know the Scriptures intimately. We experience the Word of God in our liturgy: in the responsorial psalm, the readings, and the Gospel; yet too rarely do we venture beyond that experience. Consequently, we never really learn how Scripture, understood in the light of tradition, shapes who we are as Catholics. And we never learn how regular reading and reflection on the Word of God-Lectio Divina-can strengthen our hearts and deepen our faith.
The NRSV Bible, Catholic Edition helps you respond to the call of the Word. It brings the Scriptures alive for today's reader. This lovely imitation leather edition offers beauty and durability at an attractive price.
