NRSV Cambridge Annotated Study Bible Hardback with jacket NR340 - Tapa dura

'An excellent piece of work, which is bound to be serviceable to a wide spread of readers.' Dr Ralph Martin, University of Sheffield

'The great merit of a volume like this is that one has a consistent approach to all the Biblical data, rather than ... where scholars of differing views each contribute a small portion of the commentary.' Dr Ben Witherington, Ashland Theological Seminary

'I feel that this book is the best resource currently available ... I particularly appreciate the competency of the marginal notes in the New Testament section.' Prof Robert Jewett, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary

'It is effectively a Bible and commentary in one volume and so would be useful for Bible studies and other similar discussion groups.' Ian Johnson, Life and Work (The Record of the Church of Scotland)

Although I don't exactly like the inclusiveness of the NRSV, I have found the CASB-NRSV to be an excellent addition to my pastoral library. This would be a very good study Bible for any pastor. The notes from Kee are extremely good, the binding and size are perfect [mine has NOT worn out after much, much use] and the blank margin areas allow plenty of space for writing in your own notes. This edition is REALLY well built, I cannot stress that enough, it holds up well to usage. The NRSV is a spartan though illuminating modern translation. The NR340, NRSV Cambridge Annotated Study Bible is an excellent buy and well worth purchasing. amazon reviewer amazon reviewer
