Summary: Speaking of Quality
Comment: If you're looking at this book I'm guessing you already know that the NRSV is a great translation. That being said I'll just tell you of the material quality of the book itself.

I have been impressed with how my Bible has held up over the last 3 years. The cover is durable, and the book is beautifully made. Furthermore, if there's any trouble with the binding, the publisher gives a lifetime warranty to repair it. This high quality publication is well worth the money spent in my opinion.

Summary: A WorthyTranslation
Comment: The Revised Standard Version is a well done work, worthy of the truths that the book itself contains. By also including the "Apocrypha," the book is including texts held to as Scripture by the Pre-Nicean church. This is one of the available translations that has carefully been written to guard all of the facts within it which are so thoroughly supported by both archaeology and fine scholarship. As a Greek student at the University of Washington I would recommend this or the NAS.

Summary: Worthy of Any Spiritual Library
Comment: This leather bound Bible is of great quality and reasonably priced for the occassion. In the back of this book there are many well conceived close up photos of important Biblical places that can be easily used to relate to what Biblical time and place the reader is interested in. Furthermore, it's Oxford! The page quailty is better than ordinary paper and is extremely durable. The pages feel great and have a golden lining on the edges which does not easily rub off. The content itself is, in my opinion, excellent for the modern-times reader. Those that want something easier to read than the King James version are going to like this New Revised Standard Version because it is so easy to read, but Oxford has maintained the tradition of King James by not altering the passages AND Oxford goes on to include the Hebrew and sometimes Latin translations at the bottom of the page to see how else the passage could read. Beyond this, the New Revised Standard Version has the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical Books at the end of the Old Testament. This book is of excellent quality, context, readability, and does well to live up to the Oxford name. I recommend this book, but would also recommend the King James version after reading this English evolutionary Bible. Also a helpful reference book like the Oxford Companion to the Bible will definitely come in help to the curious Christian.
