The NRSV Popular Text Edition is an entirely new setting using the New Revised Standard Version Anglicized Edition, the Bible translation recommended for use in the Church of England and other churches. The Anglicized Edition uses British spellings and punctuation. This Bible features clear, easy-to-read print, well laid out with generous page margins and space between the columns. The text is helpfully broken up with bold section headings, and running heads show chapter and verse for easy navigation. The paper has gilt edges and there is a presentation page and ribbon marker. The Bible is bound in an attractive tan and burgundy faux leather, and comes in a presentation box. It would make an excellent gift for Christmas, birthdays or other special occasions.

Review
Cambridge has launched a suite of Bibles using the NRSV Anglicized edition, the Bible version recommended in the Church of England and other churches. Various binding styles suit different purposes and are priced to suit different budgets. The two-tone imitation leather format has a lovely feel and sits on the palm of the hand comfortably. From the font, to the binding, to hte layout – this looks and feels great. The NRSV attempts to be as literal as possible while using contemporary yet graceful English.
