The Cambridge binding is flawless. The text is very readable. I would highly recommend this Bible version and Cambridge edition to anyone interested in a closer walk with the Lord. Of course, all Cambridge bindings far exceed today's standard in the quality of craftsmanship. Explore the world of the NEB.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Revised English Bible, March 31, 2000

By

This review is from: REB Compact New Testament Burgundy Calfskin REBNT7 (Leather Bound)

Building on the New English Bible of 1970, the Revised English Bible represents a new generation of scholarship. The revisers used the Novum Testamentum Graece edited by K. Aland et al.(26th edition,1979) as the major point of reference. The archaic "Thou" was abandonded and a more inclusive language used where the text demands. Additional aids for readers have been included. Overall, a very readable text and an excellent translation.
