Synopsis

The New Revised Standard Version is the "standard" translation used by mainline Protestant churches, Orthodox churches, and by many Catholics. The NRSV debuted in 1989 and is owned by the National Council of Churches, which is the leading force for ecumenical cooperation among Christians in the United States representing thirty–five denominations with forty–five million members in more than 100,000 churches across the country. They have chosen HarperCollins to be the exclusive licensor of the translation for the world (nonexclusively in the UK).

The New Revised Standard Version is recognized in scholarly circles as the most accurate translation into English of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. In the tradition of its predecessors, the King James Version and the Revised Standard Version, the NRSV was designed to be the "standard" version for English–speaking people across all denominations, which in many ways it has become. None of the new, more sectarian translations have approached its standards of elegance and accuracy.

This unique one–column setting allows people to read the Bible as work of literature. Each book is introduced with an original wood–cut. Overall, this special easy–to–read setting makes the Bible a wonderful reading experience. It also includes a concordance index to help people find key passages.

This special Catholic edition includes all 23 books of the Catholic canon, a presentation page, and a ribbon.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Pink Ribbon Girls are young breast cancer survivors, who are encouraged by their shared experiences, to education and inspire others to grow and live beyond breast cancer. Pink Ribbon Girls was founded in October 2001 when Tracie Metzger and Dawn Harvey realized there was no specific group for young women dealing with breast cancer. Through this nonprofit, nationwide organization (with members in 44 states), young women are offered education and awareness for early detection, support, and an outlet to express fears. The topics of discussion at group meetings include, dating, caring for young children while undergoing treatment and fitness and nutrition. Pink Ribbon Girls has a national, searchable database, providing a way for them to connect with other young women with similar demographics and life circumstances. For more information and to find out how you can make a difference visit www.pinkribbongirls.org.Tracie Metzger was 30 years old when she was diagnosed and had two children ages three and eleven months. In the midst of six months of chemotherapy and a double mastectomy with reconstruction, Tracie went into menopause for a year at age 31. Not long after that, Tracie came out of menopause and was blessed with a daughter whom she named Hope, after all that she’d been through, followed by a son 16 months later. Today, Tracie spends her time focusing on educating the public and raising awareness about young women with breast cancer through public speaking. She resides in Cincinnati, Ohio with her husband and four children, and is a contributor to the book The Voices of Breast Cancer, The Healing Companion: Stories of Courage, Comfort and Strength, edited by The Healing Project.
