I really appreciate this edition of the Apocrypha and its companion, the NRSV Cambridge Annotated Study Bible. The print is small and I'd love a handier edition (with larger print, how can I get both), still its contribution is the tone and manner of the twin volumes.
I'm using it in a Bible study of books included in Roman Catholic and Orthodox canons but excluded in the Protestant canon, along with a cursory review of other books generally excluded from all three. The notes are great and the introductions to the books helpful, though both from a more liberal (which is quite acceptable to me, given my perspective and training).
If you're looking for a study bible that includes the apocrypha then these are your books, especially if you want texts that allow you to draw your own conclusions. |
