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. ( )
