A completely new design and typeset edition of the preferred Ignatius Revised Standard Version-Catholic Edition Bible, with minor revisions to one of the most archaic language used within the first edition. This revised version is a recent English translation without dumbing-down the text. This second edition of the RSV doesn’t put the biblical text through a filter to make it acceptable to current tastes and prejudices, and it retains the wonderful thing about the RSV language that has made it this type of joy to read and reflect at the Word of God. Now the one Catholic Bible in standard English is much more beautiful in word and design!
