Summary: Yeah, it's a pretty bible, but . . .
Review: Yes, indeed, Cambridge makes the highest quality bibles in the world if we are looking merely at paper quality, gilding, typeface, clarity, binding, and leather. They do a sensational job with the basics of production.However, with that said, I just wish they would choose a more conservative translation of the bible. The NRSV leaves much to be desired as a bible translation. The press for "gender equity in translation" [a dubious goal at best] caused these revisors to botch several essential messianic prophecies. With that said, I could still preach the gospel from an NRSV, I would simply have to avoid certain texts. Yet there is no reason to compromise in this English speaking world. We have many other better translations, such as the NASB, the NKJV, and the NIV. There are many lovely bibles made in these translations. Why not choose one of them?
