Thanks to a reader for alerting me that there is a new promotional video for the large print thinline RSV-2CE from Catholic Bible Press (which will be published in mid-November). The video is accessible on the Amazon product listing page also.
I covered the early marketing information on this edition back in April. Here are a few quick details:
- Available in three leathersoft colors: black, crimson, and brown
- Double column format
- Size 10 font
Currently, the pre-order price on Amazon is the full MSRP of $49.99. Christianbook is offering pre-orders for $32.99.
Even if I don’t intend to get this edition myself, I’m still happy the mainstreaming of the RSV-2CE continues.
It looks great!!! I’m glad to see the references at the bottom of the page.
The Catholic Comfort Print font is really terrible though.
Though I am not a huge fan of the comfort print, I will say that this looks really good. I love the size of this thinline. It is also great to see the notes and cross-references included. Back when I was doing my old blog, I was advocating for an edition like this. Amazing that this and the completed ICSB are all coming out at the same time. It’s a great time to be a fan of the RSV-2CE.
It looks like it will open flat unlike the Ignatius Press bonded leather edition. Just one ribbon?
There is a Reddit post showing the absolute monster size of the Ignatius Complete Study Bible. Thought you guys might be curious. I have to reconsider as it looks way to big for nothing other than formal study at a desk

Looks like an excellent reason to buy the e-book edition
I’ve pre-ordered this Bible and will likely order more for family.
Speaking for myself: I feel a need to vote with my wallet for this translation over unbelieving translations. Thankfully, the sales of the unbelieving translations seem to be only popular with the extremely online and the soon-to-be Agnostics.
What “unbelieving translations”? There are certainly skeptical translations, such as “The Five Gospels” published by The Jesus Seminar but they are hardly widespread or easy to find,

Correct. As I wrote:
