What happened to the NRSV catholic edition.

THE HOLY BIBLE

NEW REVISED STANDARD VERSION

Catholic Edition

The Holy Bible: New Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition (Collegeville, MN: Liturgical Press, 2008).

Logos use to have the catholic edition of the NRSV in the Collegeville reference library collection. I noticed it is no longer sold. And I find this odd, while I am aware that the American Catholic church does not like the NRSV but it remains the official liturgical translation of the Canadian Catholic Church (albeit with minor alterations) I am wondering why Logos dropped this edition of the translation since it is ordered as catholics prefer.

VERY strange dropping it, forsooth! But there being any differences in the text is a surprise to me, are You sure it's not merely a compilation of which books of the Bible to include or footnotes included by the translators?

This would be particularly interesting because of the (probable) ease with which Logos could produce it as a reverse interlinear, with OT and NT, given that the NRSV already has the entire reverse interlinear prepared.

If so, it would be Logos's first reverse interlinear Bible with a complete Catholic canon (the RSVCE currently only has the reverse interlinear in the NT).

There is no real difference just arrangement of the text, and the lack of none Catholic books. To me this is not a big deal. I am Anglican and enjoy the fullest cannon of the original NRSV. However reading Daniel and Esther are nicer in NRSV catholic since the extra parts are put in their natural place. I also do know of people who highly resent seeing duterocanaonical books separated. Although this practice goes back to Saint Jerome. As well the book ordering north American Catholics typically have is not always firm in english speaking catholic world as the Christian Community Bible shows. That said the NRSV Catholic edition is important in the same way as copies of the NRSV that are protestant cannon only are. Some people want to use a Bible that contains only what is in their cannon. I would not advocate the adding of the NRSV Catholic edition if it had not already been available before hand.

Dan, it's such a non-issue for me, especially in Bible Study software, that the difference in how the books are arranged completely slipped my mind. But You're right, some want only their canon:
