Synopsis

The Complete Parallel Bible presents four of the most highly respected modern language Bible translations arranged side by side for easy comparison. The parallel format brings new insights into the distinct characteristics that distinguish the texts used by Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox Christians. This unique work highlights the importance of the translation process in defining the priorities and concerns of these different groups, and reveals interesting contrasts in literary styles, verse placement, and canonical content. The volume includes three translations that have an imprimatur (NRSV, NAB, NJB).

Review

"Oxford University Press has created a unique resource...of interest to preachers, biblical students, and scholars alike....Those without a command of the biblical languages can see the range of possible nuances for a particular word or phrase; preachers and liturgists can choose preferable
translations for a particular occasion."--Donald Senior, Bible Today
