The NRSV-CE includes all 73 books of the Catholic Bible, including the deuterocanonical books, in the traditional Catholic order. ![Journal Bible Group](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Journal%20Bible%20Group.jpg?width=6582&name=Journal%20Bible%20Group.jpg) “We are proud to release this new Catholic edition of the NRSV as an aid to all Catholics who are reading the Bible for spiritual renewal and who seek to deepen their relationship with God,” said John Kramp, Group Bible Publisher for HCCP. The release of the NRSV Catholic Edition comes in the midst of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic, when the Pew Research Center has found that Americans are praying more for the end of the crisis. They found that more than half of Americans have prayed for an end to the virus, including those who seldom or never pray. “The Bible is an ideal place to start for prayer and guidance, no matter what the reader has endured or is currently faced with,” said Kramp. “This version is renowned for its balance of scholarship and readability, and is appropriate for personal spiritual formation.” “These Bibles are true treasures to Catholics everywhere,” said Jenna Guizar, founder and creative director of Blessed is She, which is partnering with Catholic Bible Press on its Bible projects. “I am so grateful for Catholic Bible Press' hard work in creating such well-made, sturdy, beautiful Bibles for us Catholics to use. I can't wait to see more and more Catholics opening up these Bibles to read God's word and encounter Him in Scripture.” The initial offering from Catholic Bible Press of the *NRSV Catholic Bible* showcases a Journal Bible, Gift Bible, Large Print and Personal Size Standard Print Bible. Each edition features the exclusive NRSV Comfort Print® typeface, making the reading experience an easy and smooth one. They can be ordered online through major retailers or Catholic Bible Press: [www.catholicbiblepress.com](https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicbiblepress.com%2F&data=02%7C01%7CChristina.Ambrosino%40siriusxm.com%7Cbd8995429b2d469bd7e108d806625f72%7Cc69f0fed51c54fedbe55ba0d512d25ab%7C0%7C0%7C637266366876522167&sdata=vX3XN7K4Zv9rhKeg54bXHOBj0Hkjx1VbIRaPreEvBWA%3D&reserved=0).     ![NELSONcatholic-Bible](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/NELSONcatholic-Bible.jpg?width=1180&name=NELSONcatholic-Bible.jpg) --- *Copyright 2020 Barb Szyszkiewicz, OFS* Images courtesy of Catholic Bible Press.
