I've be...Unknown Anon,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your response. I've been wanting the Navarre New Testament in the 12 volume set. I've looked at Ebay periodically but, most seem to be under the "buy it now" category and not really at much, if any, discount. <BR/><BR/>As I live in the Bible belt, most Bibles to be found in our local used book store are not Catholic and there are no Catholic colleges in the vicinity. I'll keep looking though as I've heard nothing but great things about the Navarre. <BR/><BR/>We have several different translations in the house. The one I read the most is the Oxford NAB. Not my favorite. One of my sisters has run off with the Jerusalem Bible that I liked very much. <BR/><BR/>Oh, one more question. How big is the print in the Navarre single volumes. I am hoping, since the books are in multiple volumes that the font is much larger. My eyes are not what they used to be and I find I can't read the NAB I have for more than about twenty minutes at a time.<BR/><BR/>Whew, all this talk about Bible versions has me feeling like I must sound like Candy!ann nonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06426622861196955113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853207333094285361.post-61706787398502590332007-10-17T20:20:00.000-07:002007-10-17T20:20:00.000-07:00Well, I had an answer all typed out, and when I we...Well, I had an answer all typed out, and when I went to publish, Blogger was down. Just one more reason I don't have a blog!<BR/><BR/>To answer the question about the Navarre, I like it for the depth of the commentary. The text is both RSV and New Vulgate (Latin).<BR/><BR/>I "came up" using the Collegeville, many (many) moons ago in my college theology courses. They are solid and comprehensive. They also come in individual editions, and are much more affordable than the Navarre. They use the standard NAB text. I would recommend them to anyone.<BR/><BR/>I also have the Jerusalem and New Jerusalem study editions, along with my standard St. Joseph edition of the NAB. I like all of them, too. By the nature of the Bibles they are in, they are less comprehensive and nuanced, but that's ok. Not everyone needs to be a full-time scripture scholar, IMHO.<BR/><BR/>I like the Navarre for many reasons. It is portable (in the individual paperback version), comprehensive, and narrative in style, rather than the "short phrase parenthetical" style of the St.Joe NAB.<BR/><BR/>I have been buying them gradually over the last few years, and have been lucky enough to find some at local used bookstores. I think our local Jesuit college must use them, because I have had good luck finding them at the ends of semesters, and it's always ones I already have!<BR/><BR/>I am fortunate to have access to the complete hardbound editions at my local public library, so that has eased some of the pressure to obtain them all for myself.unknown anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785468942446928824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853207333094285361.post-17155349578454033692007-10-17T19:30:00.000-07:002007-10-17T19:30:00.000-07:00I saw it on Amazon.I saw it on Amazon.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120027058653022897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853207333094285361.post-78873669698305433542007-10-17T18:24:00.000-07:002007-10-17T18:24:00.000-07:00I have been considering purchasing the twelve volu...I have been considering purchasing the twelve volume New Testament but it is VERY, VERY expensive. I'd probably have to save up for a year before I could afford it. I've never been able to put my hands on it and flip through but, I've heard it's excellent. I haven't seen the three book version.
