“ In all the years I have been involved in ministry, academic study, teaching and proclaiming the Catholic Christian faith I am often asked “Deacon, what translation of the Holy Bible do you use and recommend to others? Without any pause or need to reflect I answer “The RSVCE”. (Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition) It is, without any doubt, the most accurate translation from the original languages. Period. Everyone of my professors have agreed. Ignatius Press offers a beautiful version of this wonderfully accurate translation of the Holy Bible. I have used it for years and recommended it to many people. I highly recommend it to all those who are reading this advertisement. Buy it for yourself. Buy it for others. Read it, pray through it and cherish the wonderful written word which points us to Jesus, the Living Word”
Deacon Keith Fournier
