Best dynamic translation out there, with good footnotes and in a high quality volume
The New Jerusalem Bible is, in my opinion, the best dynamic translation out there. Rather than being based mainly on a French translation like the original Jerusalem Bible, the New Jerusalem Bible is straight from the original languages. Rather than being as literal as possible, the goal with this translation is to be very natural, flowing, and poetic in the English language, a goal which is definitely accomplished. There are a few peculiarities with the translation which might put some people off. Instead of LORD, God is referred to as Yahweh, which can be a deal breaker for some people. A small amount of inclusive language is used, but I wouldn't consider that a flaw in this case because it never obscures the meaning of the text, is only used when it is very clear that the gender neutral was intended, and this isn't a translation that's supposed to be strictly literal incorporating this language (I'm looking at you NRSV). Despite being a Catholic Bible, the Hail Mary is translated as "highly favored one" though the traditional rendering is given in a footnote. Speaking of the footnotes, they're good in this Bible: succinct and focused on alternate translations and a few explanations of verses. They're not as extensive as in other Bibles like the NAB and RSV, but given that this isn't a literal translation, this Bible was never intended to be used as a study Bible, and they get the job done for devotional reading. There are also some full-color, high quality maps included at the back of the book in the references section. The physical volume the translation is presented in is excellent: very nice hardback, sewn binding, and relatively thick paper for a Bible. Ghosting isn't an issue even when the page is not flat. Also, this Bible has a single-column format that complements its purpose as a devotional Bible - cross references are clearly presented in the margin, and footnotes are in a smaller two-column section at the bottom of the page. I would very highly recommend this Bible for anyone who wants a nice-sounding dynamic translation. So long as you don't try to use this as your literal translation study Bible, you can't go wrong with this.

My Book
I ordered a New Bible for myself. It arrived quickly and had been packed very well. No damage to the book. It is a beautiful Bible and I will have many years of enjoying and reading from this book. I would certainly order again from "JRSbooks65"Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Scholarly Yet Easy To Read
It is a scholarly yet easy to read version of the Holy Scripture. It is in modern language and style, yet true to the ancient texts. It has excellent notes for those who seek to go deeper in study. I recommend it highly..Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

The Catholic Bible to have until a better one comes along
Brings the original Jerusalem Bible up-to-date in scholarship and language without going overboard on "political correctness" as the Revised New Jerusalem Bible does.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

The New Jerusalem Bible
Superb translation with excellent footnotes. The previous version, The Jerusalem Bible may have a few places of better translation, though 99% is the same as the New version. However the footnotes on the New version are improved and profoundly helpful for biblical study as well as personal reflection on the Sacred Scriptures.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Found the book of my dreams!
Came in the package a week early, filled and wrapped, for it was suitable. The bible came in its hard cover sleave, and was expected to be well preserved. The contents are satisfactory, and I am a very happy buyer. Would buy again.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

The Lord wants to give you a word today.
This Bible has side readings and great footnotes. Great to scrutinize the word. Peace.
