These photos were taken the date I published this article. The photos at their full size are pretty detailed. Then move your mouse over the photo, your mouse pointer will look like a little magnifiglass, then click the photo. To view the photos at their full size click on 'see full album'. This one was big in size compared to some others I've read, but the text flowed good.

Of NT: Mark, Luke, Hebrews, Revelation (Apocalypse)Įach Bible is its own experience, some give more, some less, but it's always interesting. Of OT: Ruth, Tobit, Judith, Esther (the one without addings though), Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Song Of Solomon, Jeremiah, Lamentations I would've liked to know more about other apostles beyond what is shown in Acts, but since Luke was such a follower of Paul, we get what we get, which holds still good information though. And I increasingly feel critical towards Paul about some of his opinions (maybe later very early addings but still), and think there might've been some remaining Phariseeisms in there. In NT I realised there was the untold tale of Peter meeting Jesus alone, after Jesus r0se from his death and met women, but before the disciples as a group (Paul knew about this, and also about James's later alone meeting of Jesus - but he doesn't mention women seeing Jesus first). There was a lot of previously-overlooked things I found, and that was great. And of course there are doubled stories: Adam's creation, Daniel in lions' den. I thought about what Job wasn't mentioned to have lost: his house, his lands, his non-children relatives. There's 'Ben-Hur' in 1.Kings 4:8 (thinking of that book, which was a dnf for me). The name lists still feel long in OT, but I can find some names funny (Muppim and Huppim strike again!). The pages were bigger than on other Bible I've read, so I got more to read with daily 5-page reading. Like with other Bible read-throughs, each time brings some new realizations (like the fact Adam & Eve didn't get the chance to taste the fruit (if there was any) of the Tree Of Life - which would've given them immortality). Some notes throughout, standard middle-of-the-road Catholic opinions. In OT each book has a small introduction. Unlike some other Catholic Bibles I've read, this one doesn't have Prayer Of Manasseh. RSV, second Catholic Edition, with a 1966 introduction and a bunch of maps at the end.
