Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThe editors supplied the NRSV with a superb apparatus. They did so as they kept nearby the source-texts in their original languages. All of the scholarly devices (footnotes and essays etc.) equip students with resources necessary to agree or disagree with specific annotations. Here and there the notes contain gems of historical details about the ancient near east ... This Bible will likely find an abundance of readers. * Darrell Sutton, The Quarterly Review *
