Good Bible?

[Dave Armstrong]

LOL It's that Mediterranean or "Latin" look . . . I can spot it a mile away. I love trying to guess ethnicity, but I'm usually wrong, as presently.  But not too far off . . .

[Estelle]

My husband is party Greek (about 1/8th) and you should see our older daughter.  If you've ever seen Giada DeLaurentis on the Food Network (back in my secular TV watching days) she looks very much the same.

[Dave Armstrong]

Dunno that person on TV, but I'm sure your daughter's cute!

[Estelle]

Try Sophia Loren. A real Mediterannean beauty. And my daughter's always hated her nose!

[Candlemass]

So far I like the Bible, but see some of it's shortcomings. I'll get an RSV eventually, but I want one in GIANT print!

Mark,

Here is a link to an old version of a CATHOLIC Bible Commentary.  They were compiled(Old and New Testament) by the late Rev. Fr. George Leo Haydock, following the Douay-Rheims Bible.*  

http://haydock1859.tripod.com/                      (Links to Old Testament books and covers  New Testament books)( ALL 73 BOOKS)

This is a great resource!

So, it there an RSV study bible in LARGE print?

I can read the regular print ok, it just kind of messes w/my eyes. Perhaps I should get some better reading glasses than the cheap ones off the shelf.

[Estelle]

I got mine from EWTN. And love the large print! With my other one I needed a magnifying glass, even with reading glasses.

[Candlemass]

Wich one was it?

[Estelle]

The one I have is the one that came up on your post directly after mine. I paid the original price for mine ($50.00) but see it's now on sale. Good deal if you ask me.

[Candlemass]

Does it have the words of Christ in red? There's not a lot of info on it.

[Estelle]

No and frankly the only thing that  annoys me about it is they write "he" when referring to God when I was always taught, way back when, to write it as "He". Sometimes I'll take a pen and change it myself.

[Candlemass]

Think I may get the last one I posted a link to; "Saint Benedict Press W/Tan Books."  For some reason I thought the NAB Catholic Answer Bible I bought was in large print, eh, at least the apologetic pages are!

Estelle,

You sound like me. I always capitalize any pronouns that refer directly to the Godhead. Unfortunately, I haven't seen too many translations - even the Douay-Rheims (yes, I have one of those that I bought from TAN awhile back) - that capitalize them. Pity. Seeing them in small letters seems almost demeaning to me.

Btw, speaking of Bibles, I found a nice hardback NRSV Catholic Women's Devotional Bible at a Protestant bookstore for $5. Go figure.  I guess they didn't want that on the shelf for too long, eh? 

God bless +
