Revised Standard Version: Catholic Edition Bible
Revised Standard Version · Catholic Edition · Published by TAN Books
Overview
Sacred Scripture is the bulwark of the Catholic Faith: the inspired and infallible Word of God revealed through the authors of the Old and New Testaments. In an age when confusion and error spread easily through modern discourse, Catholics must return to the source of truth and deepen their knowledge of the Holy Bible. As St. Jerome famously declared, “Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ.”
The Revised Standard Version: Catholic Edition provides a faithful, clear, and dignified translation of the Bible suitable for Catholic readers. Known for its formal and literal approach to translation, the RSV preserves the beauty and precision of the biblical text while remaining accessible for modern study and devotion. Familiar passages are rendered with a Catholic understanding, and the books of Scripture are arranged according to the traditional order of the Vulgate.
This edition also includes helpful features designed to enrich prayer, study, and family use. With the three-year lectionary cycle for the Novus Ordo Mass, full-color maps, and family history pages, this volume is both a devotional companion and a practical resource for Catholic households.
