Summary: Excellent Bible Translation
Comment: One of the central reasons I use this Bible is because it makes for an effective dialogue between Catholics like myself and Protestants, which the majority of the people I talk to about religious perspectives are. Another reason is because it stays away from some of the older, and harder to understand English of the KJV and Douay-Rheims.
Basically, if you're Catholic and want to participate in ecumenism with Protestants or the Orthodox, you might want to have a spare copy of this in addition to your RSV-CE, Douay-Rheims, NAB, or whatever. In any case, this Bible's language flows easily.
Still, if you want the best translation, you'd better learn Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew to have a grasp of the original Bible, and Latin in order to view the first translations of it. But, in case you don't want to go down that path, I'd pick up a copy of this no matter what Christian sect you are part of.

Summary: Plusses and minuses
Comment: The NRSV has an intresting mix of literalness and paraphrasing in its translation. I suppose that comes from having started with the RSV, a more literal translation, and then trying to make it gender neutral.
This Bible has more of the deuterocanonical books than any other that I have found. My copy of it, however, unfortunately does not tell you where or who accepts which books and so they're all just lumped together in one collection in the middle. I would have preferred it if it had told us. I only found out recently:
Books in the Roman Catholic, Greek, and Slavonic Bibles:
Tobit
Judith
Esther (with Greek additions)
Wisdom of Solomon
Ecclesiasticus (or the Wisdom of Jesus ben Sirach)
Baruch
The letter of Jeremiah (Baruch 6)
The prayer of Azariah and the Song of the Three Jews (Daniel 3:24-90)
Susanna (Daniel 13)
1 Maccabees
2 Maccabees
Books in the Greek and Slavonic Bibles but not in the Roman Catholic canon:
1 Esdras (Greek version of Ezra)
Prayer of Manasseh
Psalm 151
3 Maccabees
In the Slavonic Bible and in the the Latin Vulgate appendix:
2 Esdras
In the appendix of the Greek Bible:
4 Maccabees

Summary: The Holy Bible with the Apocrypha
Comment: This Bible is very informational especially containing the lost books of the bible; I can really get more information to understand the Bible with more depth.
