    I purchased this and had to send it back. I recieved the First Edition hard cover. I was not impressed. Generally however, the text in this book is good however it does not use the different formatting which is common in other bibles (i.e. showing the difference between hyns and poems and regular prose).

    I find that this particular text loses a lot in translation. I’m currently using it for a seminar class, and the alternate translations of other students generally make more sense and better preserve the meaning of the original text. Also, this translation includes speculative footnotes that are inconvenient for reading as just a text, because they bias some readers before conversation has even begun. Overall, I don’t recommend this translation for any sort of scholastic study of the Bible.

    Sure, they fixed the spelling errors and moved the notes to the same page. All of the glowing praise for this run of the mill Nelson produced bible just goes to show that Catholics have no appreciation for wrapping the Word of God in the finest materials. The nicest bibles in the world are bound by R.A Allen [...] and Cambridge Press. I have yet to find a Catholic bible that has a concordance. It is a good thing that Catholics do not reverence the Eucharist as they do bibles otherwise they would be celebrating the Mass with paper plates and Dixie cups rather than a gold chalice and paten, etc. To get a fine bible, you have to buy a Protestant bible, its a shame.

    This is solely based on the book and not the content since I haven’t had a chance to look through it. I am very happy with the purchase and it is a beautiful bible. The only downside is that the pages are a little thin and a little bit see-through. They are made of a slick paper. Although this makes turning the pages easier. I have seen bibles with much thinner pages. I am very pleased with this purchase.

    Heard from my pastor that this bible has extra books in the old testament.

    The first one I found was cool.
