Published by the Cambridge University Press. This Bible replaces the Oxford Wide Margin Bible we have stocked for many years. The price of the Oxford Bible 5wm has doubled since the last order we placed in 2017. The 7wm is not available.
There are many advantages of the Cambridge Bible. We have prepared a comparison of the Oxford 7wm and the Cambridge Bible.
