This beautiful hard-bound version has been relied upon by students, professors and general readers for essential scholarship and guidance to the world of the Bible for four decades. Now a new editorial board and team of contributors have completely updated this classic work. The result is a volume which maintains and extends the excellence the Annotated's users have come to expect, bringing new insights, information, and approaches to bear upon the understanding of the text of the Bible. The new edition includes a full index to all of the study material (not just to the annotations), and one that is keyed to page numbers, not to citations. And, to make certain points in the text clearer for the reader, there are approximately 40 in-text, line drawing maps and diagrams. With the best of the Annotated's traditional strengths, and the augmentation of new information and new approaches represented in current scholarship, the Third Edition will continue to serve as the reader's and students constant resource.

The New Revised Standard Version is the most accurate and accessible Bible translation available today, and has been accepted by almost all major US denominations. Prepared by a multidenominational committee of scholars who based their translation on the original Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic texts, the NRSV is also the most sensitive text on the topic of inclusive language. It includes the most complete collection of the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical books. A 96-page, select NRSV Concordance enhances the Text Edition's usefulness.

Since its inception in 1979, on the heels of the passage of the then "new" Book of Common Prayer, The Book of Occasional Services has provided authorized liturgical material for a variety of seasons, occasions, and circumstances that are not part of the regular worship of the Church. Over the years, the BOS has become a staple in virtually every congregation in the Episcopal Church.

This newest edition of The Book of Occasional Services will contain material presented to the 2006 General Convention of the Episcopal Church, including the long-awaited liturgies for rites of passage and transition into young adulthood, and prayers and new rites for remembering the departed.
