Review
`fresh, direct, acceptable, and authoritative, the language of which flows like fine music whether read privately or in public...a Bible for all ages and for all churches, for school assemblies and classes. It may well become the Bible for the twenty-first century.' Churchman
`I commend The Revised English Bible to you without reservation. I trust that it will become established as "the Bible for everyone", both in private use and in the public worship of the Church.' Donald Coggan, Chairman, The Joint Committee of the Churches
`we now have, second to none, a modern-language version which is expressly aimed at public reading' Reginald Fuller, Tablet
`There is a rich store of meaning and inspiration in the new version.' Reginald Fuller, Tablet
`less cluttered with unnecessary words...It's simpler and nearer the ordinary language that people recognise' Methodist Recorder
'There is nothing archaic about the English of the REB: it is good modern higher journalism without an excess of colloquialisms...this is a monumental work of scholarship and a marvellous testimony to the power of our somewhat etiolated English.' Anthony Burgess, Observer
`I am impressed with the REB. It is `user friendly'...I went to one of my favourite passages - Phil 4 - and felt there was a freshness and directness about the translation that would help us all in relating the Apostle's words to the way we live...This is a translation worth getting and
using.' Bishop George Carey, Church of England Newspaper
'Certainly this new translation is to be welcomed. And out just before the Christmas rush begins, too ... No doubt many of you will find a large square parcel distending the toe of your stocking. Have a good read!'
Pamela Egan, Together
`generally good, even brilliant in places' Hamilton Spectator
'a modern miracle of grace to rejoice the spirit: a new-look ecumenical Bible, the mellowed fruit of 15 years' dedicated scholarship ... an authoritative Bible one can only trust will be almost universal ... It is for everyone, and for preachers a "must"; a superb addition to the Christian
gift list.'
Methodist Recorder

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This is a new translation of the Bible for the 1990s and beyond. Commissioned by The Joint Committee of the Churches under the Chairmanship of Lord Coggan, it is the result of a unique and historic co-operation between all the major Christian Churches in the United Kingdom. While this new translation is the outcome of a very full and careful revision of The New English Bible , and builds upon that Bible's strengths, it is much more than a mere revised edition, being, in its own right, an entirely new version. Teams of specialists and ordinary people have combined to provide a text that uses clear, up-to-date but dignified language, that will appeal to young and old alike, be suitable for reading aloud in Churches, and prove essential for study in schools and colleges. Planned and directed by representatives of The Baptist Union of Great Britain; The Church of England; The Church of Scotland; The Council of Churches for Wales; The London Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends; The Methodist Church of Great Britain; The Moravian Church in Great Britain and Ireland; The Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales; The Roman Catholic Church in Ireland; The Roman Catholic Church in Scotland; The Salvation Army; the United Reformed Church; The Bible Society; The National Bible Society of Scotland. To be published jointly by Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001555801
