Exceedingly enlightening- 8 popular-evangelical versions...
Who *really* needs 8 versions of the New Testament? I certainly didn't! But I *did* want 5 of the popular versions, and this was a very easy and effective way to get them. Here's a listing of all 8, from my very favorite to least...^M
The Ultimate New Testament
I wasn't sure which version of the New Testament to buy, so I bought all the comtemporary versions in one book and I am extreemly happy! I enjoy reading the different translations and comparing. I also feel it gives me a more complete understanding reading through the nuances of all 8. The book is neatly designed and features all 8 on one open page (2 pages), 4 on top, 4 on bottom. I only hope to find a parallel Old Testament Bible.
Makes reading the NT much easier
Most of us are used to using only one Bible translation. After all, it would be laborious to carry more than one book to our meetins. And most of the time, one translation is just fine. But there can be differences in the translations that, if I have access to it, it might make a passage much clearer. That's why I recommend this book. I enjoy the NIV, but sometimes it's beneficial to see how the more literal NASB puts it. I also enjoy the NLT. But having memorized many verses in the old KJV, it's nice to check up here and see this too. Overall, I think every Christian should have this as part of his/her Bible study library.
