A Beautiful Bible for a Beautiful Faith.

The NRSVue Holy Bible with Apocrypha, Premier Collection, offers the ideal combination of readability and elegance, inviting you to explore the depth and beauty of Scripture. Featuring premium European paper hand bound in a supple black goatskin cover and raised hubs with and ornate art gilded pages.

The Apocrypha is placed between Old and New Testaments, a nearly four-hundred-year-old tradition originating with the 1534 German Luther Bible. This practice separates the Apocrypha from the 66-book canon while allowing readers to benefit from its spiritual wisdom, exemplary piety, and historical insight.

Skillfully crafted for the New Revised Standard Version, Updated Edition (NRSVue) text, Zondervan's exclusive Comfort Print(R) typeface provides a smooth reading experience that complements the foremost Bible translation vetted by Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, Evangelical, and Jewish scholars. Continuing the legacy of the NRSV, the NRSVue aims to faithfully serve the church in personal spiritual formation, in the liturgy, and in the academy. With revisions based on new textual evidence, historical insights, and linguistic precision, this updated edition delivers a translation of Scripture based on meticulous care for accuracy and readability.
