Thanks for posting the book (Bible)
and giving your comments.
I thought that I had bought a NRSV as an ebook, but I couldn't find it if I did. So I was glad to be able to grab this one.
To other MobileReaders: the words in the book description, "The NRSV is the most trusted, most accepted, and most accurate English translation of the Bible available today" may contain a little bit of hype, but maybe not much. IMHO it strikes a great balance in a translation between a sense-for-sense approach and a word-for-word (literal) approach, which is the difference between being readable and not being very readable. And from all that I've heard and read, it's very accurate. It's a great version for both reading and study, as is the 1995-update NASB (New American Standard Bible).
