RSV Personal Size Bible with Cross References - 9781400337910

The RSV Personal Size Bible with Cross References is a Revised Standard Version Bible from Thomas Nelson's Sovereign Collection, bound in imitation leather in a portable personal size. Its traditional design, with drop cap illustrations opening each chapter, line-matched text, and a single-column layout for the poetry books, takes its cues from the 1611 King James Bible. With extensive end-of-page cross references, book introductions, and full-color maps, it is suited to readers who want the RSV text in a classic-looking Bible for daily reading, study, or giving as a gift.

Narrative books are set in a classic double-column layout. Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon are set in a single column, so the poetry reads line by line. The Smyth-sewn binding lets the Bible lie flat in your hand or on a desk. Reference tables cover the miracles and parables of Jesus, and a one-year reading plan and a presentation page are included.

Use & care: Intended for personal reading and study; the Smyth-sewn binding can be opened flat on a desk or lectern-style stand without forcing the spine. Wipe the imitation leather cover with a soft, dry cloth, turn the gilded pages gently, and store the Bible away from heat and direct sunlight.
