A reader recently sent me a tip that Anglican Liturgy Press will be publishing the ESV with Apocrypha as a pew bible. According to the product description, this bible will be an “adaptation” of the Oxford ESV with Apocrypha which was published in 2009 and is no longer in print. Continue Reading
The publication date for the British edition of the Revised New Jerusalem Bible has been delayed for about a month. The publication date listed on Book Depository has changed from June 27, 2019 to July 29, 2019. Since this delay is coming so late in the process, I’m guessing (and Continue Reading
