In a compact breviary format, this Bible fits perfectly in a hand or breast pocket. The fully detachable ribbon does not interfere with reading and protects the pages while on the go. It features a single-column layout, thin Bible paper, easily readable typography, and a two-color design using red as an accent for better clarity. It includes introductions to each biblical book, subheadings, notes, reference points, and an appendix with a keyword and person index, a timeline with explanations, and two maps. The Common Translation is used throughout the German-speaking world and is the official version for liturgy, education, and pastoral care within the Catholic Church.
