NRSV, The C. S. Lewis Bible, Hardcover, Comfort Print: For Reading, Reflection, and Inspiration Hardcover – October 5, 2021

I originally purchased this Bible on Kindle because the old book design wasn’t very appealing. This new design is beautiful, with a simple monochrome scheme contrasting with ornate retro decorations. It’s a fairly large book but surprisingly thin compared to other full-size hardback Bibles and relatively lightweight, too. I want more books like this! But the contents are the most important thing, and this is still one of my favorites. I’d consider it a devotional Bible, superbly edited and laid out. I highly recommend it.

C. S. Lewis's additions are inspirational and pertinent.

This is a first rate Bible, I genuinely love it and highly recommend it. It has succeeded in its mission (to me) to "help the reader interact more with Scripture", In short, it's uses an NRSV translation (my preference and highly reliable/readable/accurate), has a beautiful genuine leather cover which is a deep rich brown, a very nice size that lays perfectly in your lap or reading surface and insights from Lewis are spread throughout the text which amplify the Scripture rather than crowd it out like many study bibles I've used. I have been a Christian for over 15 years, I recommend this Bible highly, as you consistently use it, it will fuel your spiritual growth in Christ as your mind is transformed.

This is my go-to Bible for when I want to look up something quickly. I keep it on my desk. The print is easy to read and I like the hardback feel for quick reference vs flimsy leather or soft Bibles. Plus, for whats essentially a study Bible, it's easy to read, not too busy, and the extra parts are well written but don't distract from the actual Biblical text.

I bought this as a gift for my husband's birthday and he loves it. It's helping him to read scripture as there's so much interesting commentary by CS Lewis. Highly recommend this Inspirational Bible.

This is a nice bible, and it’s great that it’s CS Lewis referenced. It doesn’t have as much referencing to CS Lewis material as I’d like, but it was still a nice gift for someone who loves CS Lewis and didn’t have this item.

I'll list the good and the bad, starting with the bad.The bad:The only thing I do not like is the color scheme and design on the cover. I bought the hardback version (mainly because I've never owned a hardback Bible) and was hoping that once I removed the dust cover there would be a blank book underneath. No such luck. There was the same horrible colors and design underneath on the book itself. Of course, someone might like it, but I'm very put off by it. I now wish I'd have gone with the leather-bound version.Now for the good:Inside the book it gets better--way better. The font style, design, and layout of this Bible are the best I've ever seen. Why they did not keep it that classy on the outside I'll never know. The book titles are stylishly written, not quite Celtic or Medieval, but just very tasteful with an old-world look and appeal; and there is ornamentation in various places on the pages. I'm not sure what to call it but I like it.The pages have plenty of blank space left on either side, as well as above and below the text. Many Bibles have the pages crammed and crowded, but this one seems to let the text breathe; it just makes it more appealing and readable to my eye. And the pages are so beautiful that for the first time in my life I hesitate to mark it up and make my own notes.Then there is Lewis sprinkled here and there. Never too much, but just about as many "notes" as I wanted and hoped to see. The publishers kept it to where you could reference Lewis if you wanted, or just choose to leave him out entirely for a given session in the Bible.There's a preface written by Douglas Gresham, and there is an informative Introduction and detailed notes to the reader by other Lewis scholars--all of which I found interesting and helpful.I've never owned an NRSV Bible before, but I'm enjoying the flow and feel of the translation.This is not C.S. Lewis "teaching you the Bible." If you're looking for a "Study Bible" where the scripture will be explained and broken down for you, this is not the route to take. But if you're interested in some of the thoughts of C.S. Lewis to go with your Bible reading, this is perfect. And if you're looking for something of quality, that is aesthetically pleasing, you'd be hard-pressed to find anything better, in my opinion.I will be spending a lot of time with my copy.

This is by far the best Bible I have EVER purchased!! I'm already planning on giving it to friends, as it is just phenomenal. I never even knew how much of a C.S. Lewis fan I was until I started reading this version. The included letters and excerpts from relevant books are all very concise, wise and often mind-blowing. It doesn't read to you as a young child (as some versions tend to sometimes do) but is very rational, beautiful, and eye-opening. The passages added as a side-read are incredibly helpful and have me looking at the same Bible verses I've read for years, with new eyes.The C.S. Lewis Bible helps make the Bible new, exciting, and very relevant for those who feel they don't connect well or understand the Bible as well as they should.Would highly recommend to ANYONE, no matter how comfortable (or absent) they feel from the Word.
