Book Description

Publication Date: November 25, 1993

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).

Editorial Reviews

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Now my favorite Bible, January 27, 2000

John H Tugman (New Canaan, Connecticut) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete Parallel Bible with the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical Books: New Revised Standard Version, Revised English Bible, New American Bible, New Jerusalem Bible (Hardcover)

There's always more than one way to say something, and having four Bible translations side by side proves it! Little nuances of meaning are revealed by the different wordings, and I find myself many times restating a verse in a way that is not exactly like any of them. It is a big fat book, but it is still a lot easier than juggling four big books! I highly recommend it for any serious studier of scripture.

(REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

Excellent comparison of the widely used english translations in catholic and protestant circles. Contains two translations that follow a close word for word interpretation and two translations that follow a more meaning for meaning interpretation. Includes scripture considered canonical by Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox communions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good bible, November 1, 2000

James T Humphrey II (Huntersville, NC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

A good parallel bible which presents us with 4 scholarly translations, as well as the protestant/orthodox/catholic accepted books of the bible. A good intro as well to the development of this bible.

#Special note, this bible is not in leather, and very thick, and is hard back. You probably won't want to take this one to church, but will use it for in depth studies. What else would we expect though from something published by Oxford?
