RSV Catholic Bible Compact Edition

I love this bible. Very well made!

I purchased this for a college student being Confirmed this spring. Yes the text is small but overall the Bible is a great size (for portability). He seemed very pleased with this gift & appreciated it being personalized for him. I would definitely recommend.

Excellent compact bible! I read a passage every night before bed!

All you have to do is read the first pages inside the cover to realize that this is not done by a catholic publisher. The bible is published by oxford press. If you want a catholic RSV version buy Ignatius press.

I wanted a small portable bible, but this is smaller than I expected from looking at the pictures. It would be helpful if they put a recognizable object next to it for comparison. The print therefore is even smaller, barly readable for me. Since I had it engraved i cannot send it back. Best Uses: Travel; Cons: Too small print; Describe Yourself: Rarely Read; Pros: Nice hard cover

I use this small bible at work along with my Daily devotion book. It is small and light weight so I can carry anywhere with me. Best Uses: At work, Travel Reading; Describe Yourself: Rarely Read; Pros: Compact light wieght
