It retains the beauty of the RSV language that makes the Ignatius Bible such a joy to read. Now the only contemporary Catholic Bible translation in standard English is even more beautiful in word and design! Features: Completely re-designed and newly typeset with 9 point font size. Wider margins and improved line spacing for comfortable reading.
