The Ignatius Bible: Revised Standard Version - Second Catholic Edition

A completely new design and typeset edition of the popular Ignatius Revised Standard Version-Catholic Edition Bible with minor revisions to some of the archaic language used in the first edition. This revised version is a contemporary English translation without dumbing-down the text.

Now the only Catholic Bible in standard English is even more beautiful in word and design!Features:Completely re-designed and newly typeset with 9 point font size.
