I love the RSV Bible for its precise literal, poetic translation, as close as possible to the original "word of God" - anointed words. More modern translations do not attempt to translate as close as possible to the original text and often the nuances loose meaning, instead of making it more clear. I love my burgundy bonded leather zippered Bible for traveling. It is top stitched leather and says so on the box. It is also astonishingly small, only 1" x 4 3/4 x 6 1/2, and light weight, yet readable, even for my eyes that require 325 reading glasses. The type is dark and there is good contrast, since paper is thick enough to obscure the type from the other side. It is a beautiful, quality made Bible, with heavily gilded edge pages and the zipper has a heavy, rich gold miraculous medal pull on a heavy chain with a sturdy zipper. Be careful to get the burgundy leather if you want it zippered for taking with you. It also comes without the zipper in two tone brown, but the two versions are often not distinguished by sellers. I found out the hard way when I ordered one that said it had the zipper, but came two tone brown and did not have the zipper. The dealers don't seem to know the difference. I had to call Ignatius Press to find out. The two versions also have different ISBN numbers, though Amazon links them together and has been misrepresenting this Bible (as brown with a zipper) for years, despite myself other readers informing them since 2007! Read the many 5 star reviews on Amazon and then compare it on eBay for the best price!Read full review
Excellent version, decent font size, and compact enough to take it while traveling. Very sturdy and the zipper is strong. Had one years ago and gave it to someone that needed it more. Got here quickly. Very happy with the deal.

This Oxford publication is a quality product: fine bible paper, gold end pages & leather-like burgundy binding with zip closure in a small ‘personal’ size. Great as a gift, perfect for travel.

Beautiful small Bible- it feels very special! I will use it as my carry along Bible and it will be good for travel. I probably will not write in it or try to underline anything- it is a little small for that.

I love this because it is small and great for traveling. Quite handy. It would not be good for people that can not read tiny print however!
