Product Description

The NRSV has been grossly undermarketed and undersold. In our efforts to provide new and innovative editions of this beloved translation, we now introduce the XL edition. Targeting those who appreciate an easier–to–see setting, we have combined the latest trends in design with a larger print size. The NRSV XL offers beautiful and hip styling with a wonderful reading experience. No one will feel that they have been relegated to ugly and bulky larger print editions by purchasing an XL.

The New Revised Standard Version is the translation used by mainline Protestant churches, Orthodox churches, and by many Catholics. The New Revised Standard Version is recognized in scholarly circles as the most accurate translation into English of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. In the tradition of its predecessors, the King James Version and the Revised Standard Version, the NRSV was designed to be the "standard" version for English–speaking people across all denominations, which in many ways it has become. None of the new, more sectarian translations have approached its standards of elegance and accuracy.

Overall, this special easy–to–read large print setting makes the Bible a wonderful reading experience. It also includes a concordance index to help people find key passages.

5 out of 5 stars Pulpit bible   January 6, 2009
Nice big print. Easy to find passages. Lays flat on pulpit. Pastor loves it. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.


5 out of 5 stars Great XL Bible   April 19, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Our congregation uses the NRSV and has struggled with finding an acceptable large print Bible. This is light enough, the print is large enough, and while the size is a little different than other Bibles - it is excellent. Many of our people who need larger print resources have loved this since we've introduced it in our parish.


5 out of 5 stars Very nice quality Bible!   March 31, 2008
Perfect for the over 40 crowd who needs glases for everything. This is easy to read without glasses, and has plenty of space in the margins if you like to write notes. Very nice quality paper and cover. However, I do plan to make a book cover for it, since it would be hard to find one in this odd size, and the cover would wear over time.


4 out of 5 stars Great Bible, except one thing   March 31, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

The type-font of the text is wonderful and allows a small amount of space for notes and thoughts as you read. This is a version that you can underline and not worry about marking the proceeding line. The cover feels smooth and not cheap. The readability is wonderful and while the text is big, you don't get the sense that you need the XL text because your eyes have gone bad; in fact, it's the right size.

The pages are thin but not so thin that the text bleeds through from the other side. This is a plus considering that the Standard NRSV version makes it almost unreadable because of the defect.

The only thing that I found lacking was its width. It is a wide Bible and could have been shorten by an inch. While it's advertised as your anywhere-you-go Bible, it is a bit big and not friendly for opening up in the train or bus. The weight is not heavy and you could carry this Bible with you in a larger bag - as it's durability is sturdy.

Overall, great devotional Bible and should get a lot of use throughout the years.
