The Ignatius Bible / Edition 2

by Ignatius Press

Overview

A newly designed and typeset edition of the popular Ignatius Revised Standard Version-Catholic Edition Bible. This contemporary English translation revises archaic language of the first edition, but avoids dumbing-down the text. It retains the beauty of the RSV language that makes the Ignatius Bible such a joy to read. Now the only contemporary Catholic Bible translation in standard English is even more beautiful in word and design!

Features:

• Completely re-designed and newly typeset with 9 point font size. Wider margins and improved line spacing for comfortable reading.
• The RSV, second Catholic edition is the only Bible translation that uses standard (non-feminist) English and is in conformity with the Church's translation guidelines found in the Vatican document Liturgiam Authenticam

  1. The Nations of Genesis Chapter 10
  2. The Exodus from Egypt
  3. The Conquest of Canaan

  7. Paul's First and Second Journeys
