Clarity is worth a lot,
By Philip (Perth, Western Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Good News Bible: English Version- Flex Burgundy (Paperback)
Some folk dislike a bible that is different from the King James Version because they think that it has to be inferior. The truth is that the translators of the KJV knew that they had not produced a perfect translation and that their work would need to be improved in the future. Well here we are, about 300 years after the KJV was first published and we NEED new translations because English has changed so much from its state back in 1611 when the KJV was translated.The Good News Bible is an excellent bible for reading in public and reading in private. It is an accurate translation with numerous 'helps' for a modern bible reader. And What's more, it makes the gospel of Jesus Christ comprehensible. The scriptures speak to us most clearly when they speak to us in our own language. It was that thought that led the translators of the KJV to produce their translation and that thought is still important and still valid for us today. We need a bible in OUR own language; the language that we speak and that we write in today. And with the Good news bible we have that kind of bible. It is a clear and easy to read aloud bible for english speaking people all over the world.

VERY Understandable,
By A Customer
This review is from: Good News Bible: English Version- Flex Burgundy (Paperback)
I found this Bible very understandable. It is written in today's terms. Very clear and percise. I formally owed the King James Version Bible but always seemed to get a bit confused and didn't understand too well. This Good News Bible has opened my eyes. I never use to read the Bible that much, but now that I can understand it so clearly, I read it every day. A must have, especially for young people to comprehend better.
