Pros:	Great scholarship; Quality Paper; Simple format; Beautiful language;
Bottom Line:	Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. Reading this bible is like a cool water on a hot day. The language is faithful to scholarship and to orthodox Catholic Tradition. The typeset and chapter headings are simple and logical. The bible itself is made with quality binding and is sturdy. When I see an interesting verse elsewhere, I note the passage and later look it up in this bible.
