the171 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I have NAB, RSV-CE (Ignatius), and Douay-Rheims. What is a good translation to add to the reference stack? Also, can anyone recommend (I have already researched. I am looking for personal experience.) a good, portable-size copy of the Ignatius bible? I'm looking at this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1586171011?selectObb=new. I've looked at the reviews and it seems good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortify Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Looks like you've hit the main three, though I think the ESV (English Standard Version) is a very faithflul translation personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very good but the pages are thin and the type is small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Knox Bible. It's similar to the Douay-Rheims (Which is my personal favorite), but I hear the Knox Bible is absolutely amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the171 Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 That's the one I have. It is very good but the pages are thin and the type is small. That's why I am wary about purchasing it. I am really rough with anything that travels with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kateri89 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I've actually never been a fan of the NRSV. I think I'm less concerned with the translation itself; I just love the fact that it's the Lectio Divina edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I like to read the Knox in parallel with the Douay Rheims. But I love the Haydock commentary within the Douay Rheims as well, and sometime I must make a point to pick up a printed version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
