Publisher's Synopsis
An ecumenical translation for all traditions, the New Revised Standard Version has already received wide acclaim as one of the foremost modern Bible translations.;The clear, readable text has already led to its widespread adoption at group worship and study. The accurate, dignified style now associated with the NRSV make it particularly suitable for reading at public worship: this Lectern edition has been produced to meet this demand. With this in mind, care has been taken with design and format of this Bible. The page layout is open and uncrowded, with wide margins and a crisp, sharp typeface, and the paper is specially weighted to be easy to turn. In addition, the Oxford parallel-paging system gives the added advantage of common page-numbering between all NRSV Reader's, Pocket and Lectern Bibles, allowing quick location of unfamiliar passages.
