The New Revised Standard Version of the Bible is now widely recognized as the most accessible accurate translation available today. Oxford's brand new Cross-Reference Edition provides a tool that will set a new standard in Reference Bible publishing. The reference system is based on that used in the Revised Version. It has been completely checked for accuracy and appropriateness. The references appear in both side margins alongside the text, allowing for greater depth than in conventionalcentre column systems. The cross references are designed to link: Passages referred to for similarity of subject, idea, or expression Passages referred to by way of explanation or illustration Parallel passages Quotations from the Old Testament Historical and geographical references - names of places, persons, etc., that recur Allusions between the Old and New Testaments
