5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely easy to read, March 11, 2000

This review is from: Good News Bible: Good News With Deuterocanonicals/Apocrypha Today's English Version for Catholics 2nd Edition (Hardcover)

The Good News Bible is probably the best version to read in order to grasp the basic meaning of biblical passages. It is easy to read, but does not come across as undignified and overly colloquial. This edition includes the complete Roman Catholic canon and other books not considered inspired (1 and 2 Esdras and the Prayer of Manasseh). It also contains essays on such topics as Biblical history, literature, and important themes. However, these essays are the same ones present in many editions of the New American Bible. There are also boxes in the biblical text relating to certain themes (e.g. the Dead Sea, the Jewish Calendar, etc.) that contain additional notes. This is not, however, a study bible in the true sense, but there are a variety study aids. Overall, this is a great addition to a Christian's biblical library.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of the best Bibles I've ever owned, August 10, 1999

This review is from: Good News Bible: Good News With Deuterocanonicals/Apocrypha Today's English Version for Catholics 2nd Edition (Hardcover)

The TEV is one of the easier reading versions available. It is also very accurate considering its ease of use. This is definitely the only Bible I'll ever own. I use to be big NIV and NAS guy, until I discovered this version.

I love it.
