NRSV CATHOLIC BIBLE MAGNOLIA HARDCOVER - 9781400337156

The NRSV Catholic Edition Bible in Magnolia Hardcover is a complete Catholic Bible in the New Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition. It comes in a compact cloth hardcover with a magnolia cover design from the Global Cover Collection. It includes articles on fundamental Catholic beliefs and practices, prayer guides, book introductions, a concordance, and maps, and it carries the official imprimatur of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. It is suited to Catholics who want an easy-to-carry Holy Bible for daily reading, and it makes a thoughtful gift.

At 7.8 by 5.8 inches and 1.7 pounds, this edition is small enough to bring to Mass, a parish group, or on travel. The articles on Catholic beliefs and practices make it a good fit for readers who are newer to the faith or want a refresher alongside Scripture. The book introductions give a short overview of each book's background and historical context. The text is set in 8.5-point type and uses Anglicized spelling and grammar. A presentation page is included for recording a gift or occasion. According to the publisher, the magnolia was chosen for this Global Cover Collection edition for its symbolism in Christian tradition, where its flowers stand for purity, endurance, and kindness.

Use & care: Sized for everyday carrying to Mass, Bible study, or on travel, and for daily reading at home. Keep the cloth cover dry and clean, and store the Bible away from moisture and direct sunlight to protect the cover design from fading.
