Popular, accurate and readable, the NRSV is the bible for all
Catholics. The NRSV maintains the long tradition of accurate Bible
translation. It is formal enough to convey the meaning of the
original Greek and Hebrew text, yet contemporary enough to meet the
needs of Catholics today. The New Revised Standard Version of the
Bible is steadily increasing in popularity. It is highly respected
among academics and used in theological colleges across the board
as the most accurate translation available. It has been widely
adopted across the Church. The NRSV is ideal for public and private
reading, for group study and for academic work.
A Companion to Colette of Corbie presents a collection of essays
offering new historical and religious perspectives on the life,
career, and influences of this little-studied fifteenth-century
saint. Colette of Corbie, a contemporary of Joan of Arc,
established an important reform movement in the Franciscan order;
founded numerous monasteries for women in Burgundy, France, and the
Low Countries; and had connections with high ranking Burgundian and
French noble families. Essays in this volume draw upon many
relatively unknown primary sources and add significantly to the
scholarship on this important religious figure. Contributors are:
Anna Campbell, Joan Mueller, Andrea Pearson, Jane Marie Pinzino,
Monique Somme, Ludovic Viallet, and Nancy Bradley Warren
