Ignatius Bible (RSV)

A completely new typeset and designed edition of the popular Ignatius Revised Standard Version Bible, with minor revisions to some of the archaic language used in the first edition. This revised version is a contemporary English translation without dumbing-down the text. This second edition of the RSV doesn't put the biblical text through a filter to make it acceptable to current tastes and prejudices, and it retains the beauty of the RSV language that has made it such a joy to read and reflect on the Word of God. Now the only Catholic Bible in standard English is even more beautiful in word and design!

The summaries that are assigned when reading St. Luke help the student analyze the material. 

In seventh grade religion, the student reads The Acts. Discussion of this text and the Story of the Church help the student read with comprehension, and encourage work on oral expression.
