Review :
`The World's Classics Bible [is] a quite extraordinary success. It is learned but entirely accessible, full of fascinating information ... and executed with great skill and enthusiasm' Frank Kermode `this is the best text for reading that is linked to prayer, both from its associations and from its lovely language ... it is happy that at Easter 1997 there should be a new printing of the greatest of English religious texts.' Owen Chadwick, The Observer `superbly readable notes by its editors' Boyd Tonkin, The Independent `this is an edition which every booklover deserves to have' Scotland on Sunday
