A lengthy review of the Revised New Jerusalem Bible (RNJB) Study Edition, iSBN 9780525573197. This Catholic Bible features a 9.5 to 10 point font with generous line spacing. Text is formatted in a single column, organized in paragraphs. The paper, though opaque, is covered in a reflective waxy substance, and the print is neither dark nor uniform. The notes in the RNJB Study Edition tend not to support traditional patristic understandings of Old Testament passages. In fact, these notes often appear out of place, since they were written for a different translation. The RNJB’s New Testament is more literal than that of its predecessors, the Jerusalem Bible and the New Jerusalem Bible. However, the elegance of the translation is sometimes marred by awkward gender inclusive language. The binding is glued rather than sewn. Happily, the words of Christ are in black ink.
