Contains Old and New Testament with an introduction to all books of the Bible and a presentation page. This easy-to-read equivalence translation remains faithful to the Greek and Hebrew, and is suitable for devotional reading.
Good News Bible : The Bible in Today’s English Version, is a translation of the Bible in more modern language. It has line drawings of various stories and a word list, maps, a chronology of the Bible, and subject index. It is found on the library shelves under the number 220.52/BIB.
Although much easier to read than other versions of the BIble, this one strips a great deal of the poetry, and also finds it necessary to change some of the words and phrases to make them more palatable to modern audiences. ( )
An enjoyable translation for Bible reading/study. I did feel the clear modern day communication of thoughts. I especially enjoyed using this for musing the Proverbs and Psalms. ( )
