They say the best bible is the one you find yourself reading the most. This compact bible has been great for carrying around and traveling. Below I added a few pros and cons of this bible.
Pros:
- The Bible is definitely compact, making it great for packing into a bag in comparison to a standard sized bible.
- The print size is pretty standard without any difficulty reading. I have had previous compact bibles with significantly small print, too small for my liking. This one is nice and easily readable.
- The RSV CE is a great translation for the Bible. Much like translations like the ESV, the RSV takes a literal translation approach, rather than a dynamic translation used in NABRE used in the liturgical mass. While I enjoy the NABRE, the RSV makes for a great study bible to reference. I personally use the Bible while listening to Fr. Mike Schmitz’s Bible in a Year podcast. While the podcast from Ascension uses their Great Adventure Bible RSV 2nd Catholic Edition, this one follows with minor differences. The 2nd edition uses some more modern language in books like the Psalms, such as “you,” whereas this version uses some old English language such as “thy.”
- This is a beautiful bible that would make for a nice gift or a personal bible. While I’m not a big fan of imitation leather, the cover is a beautiful color, and the zipper is a nice addition. The zipper makes this bible a bit more durable when packing into a bag, and the zipper pull has a nice miraculous medal. The edges of the paper are golden lined which always adds a nice touch.
- The price is great for what you get. When looking around for a good personal bible, I considered the Great Adventure bible from Ascension Press. While that one is a great choice, the Bible is $60, while this one is nearly a third of the price.
Cons:
- The one thing I don’t enjoy about this bible is the lack of section headings over the passages of scripture. This is one of the ways Ignatius uses to keep a compact size for the Bible. Rather than section headings, the Bible contains break lines between sections of scripture to identify different passages. A minor complaint, but something to consider when looking at this bible.
- There aren’t many appendix notes, which is expectable for a compact bible. If you are looking for a bible with a lot of references for studying like the Great Adventure bible, this one doesn’t really have much. There are some notes in the end appendix, as well as some dogmatic notes and popular prayers which is a nice addition. Since it is advertised as a compact bible rather than a study bible, I would not really consider this a negative, but again something to consider when looking at this bible.
Overall I think this is bible is great and a great choice that I would recommend buying.

Die RSV-Ausgabe ist eine Überarbeitung der King James-Bibel in ein moderneres Englisch und im Allgemeinen eine Wort-für-Wort-Übersetzung.
Da diese Ausgabe das RSV-CE ist, d. H. Die katholische Ausgabe, enthält sie die deuterokanonischen Bücher, Sirach, Weisheit, Baruch, Makkabäer usw. —Das RSV-CE ist die Fassung, aus der die englische Ausgabe des Katechismus der katholischen Kirche ihre biblischen Verse zitiert.
Die Bibel ist gut gebaut und die Bindung ist gut genäht. Ja, die Schrift ist eher klein, aber ich gab meinen Augen ein paar Tage Zeit, um mich anzupassen, und ich kann sie jetzt sehr gut lesen. - Und ich trage eine Lesebrille.
Die Bibel hat keine Karten oder Querverweise. Am Ende jedes Testaments befindet sich der Kommentar für bestimmte Verse. Sie hat ein schwarzes Lesebändchen.
Die RSV-CE kompakt ist auch als ein Gebundenes Buch bei Amazon erhältlich:
