In a compact breviary format, this Bible fits perfectly in your hand or jacket pocket. Thanks to the zipper, the Bible is well protected and arrives without any crumpling of the pages. It features single-column text, thin Bible paper, easily readable typography, and a two-color layout using red as an accent color 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 three 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.
