General Description:
The Compact Edition is the perfect companion for a devotional reading. Hospital visitors, travelers and commuters alike will appreciate this easy-to-carry Bible. It features readable type and additional materials that will be of interest to Catholic readers.
The RSV Catholic Edition's New Testament appeared in 1965, and the whole Bible the following year. It remains the translation used in official Church documents, and served as the basis for the scriptural text used in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
The Compact Edition contains the following useful features:
The Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation (Dei Verbum), the Vatican II document explaining how God reveals Himself in the Scriptures and detailing their role in the life of the Church today.
A unique, three-page section on Prayers and Devotions of the Catholic Faith that will be familiar to all Catholics.
