For centuries, people have turned to the Bible for comfort and solace in time of need. 

As it may have been some time since you last updated your Bible, we have chosen a selection of Bibles that are ideal for personal use, or as gifts. 

Revised New Jerusalem Bible: Study Edition – Hardback
When the New Jerusalem Bible was released in 1985 it was heralded as one of the most beautiful and poetic of all the translations of the Bible, bringing to life the stories of the Old and New Testament. One would never have thought it could have been improved upon – but it has.
The Revised New Jerusalem Bible has updated scholarship, with sensitivity to subtle changes in contemporary English, but keeping the accuracy of translation and richness of tone. Gender inclusion has also been addressed by remaining faithful to the meaning of the original Scriptures while avoiding traditional male bias of the English language, thereby introducing the Bible to a new generation of readers.

HarperCollins Study Bible – Hardback
This landmark general reference Bible has been revised and updated by leading biblical scholars.
It offers the full text of the NRSV and now includes new introductions and notes, diagrams, charts and maps.




The Catholic Gift Bible – White or Black Leatherette
Features of the NRSV Gift & Award Bible include guides for prayer, popular profiles of Bible heroes, key Bible terms, a concordance for finding key verses and Impramaturs. The durable, leather-like binding enables foil stamping for personalisation. With full-colour presentation pages for dedication and recording of family history, this Bible is ideal for personal use or gift-giving.
