From the preface (an excellent introduction to textual criticism and the history of the Bible in English): 'The RSV seeks to preserve all that is best in the English Bible as it has been known and used through the years. It is intended for use in public and private worship, not merely for reading and instruction. We have resisted the temptation to use phrases that are merely current usage, and have sought to put the message of the Bible in simple, enduring words that are worthy to stand in the greate Tyndale-King James tradition.'.

This is the second book I've had from Arches recently, each transaction a pleasure from beginning to end. Full and accurate description (a rarer and rarer phenomenon today), an uncommon and beautiful book, prompt and very polite service, modest shipping costs, very sound and safe packaging. A model of what doing business though eBay can be when you have a responsible professional on the other side of the transaction. Thank you, Adam.

Exceptional bookseller. Outstanding inventory, more than competitive prices, beautiful presentation here on eBay, and thoughtfully packaged items. Goods arrive in secure, rigid containers, and books are elegantly wrapped, and parcels arrive very quickly. Understated but classy service. Book received is in even nicer condition than described. Recommended seller.

I'm so pleased with my purchase from this seller. They accepted a reasonable offer on a book and shipped it almost immediately. It arrived quickly and the packaging was very professional and perfect for this book which is quite fragile. The condition was exactly as described. Overall I couldn't be more satisfied and will be purchasing more books in the future.
