As an intermediate Japanese learner, I have been looking for a source of material to study. This is great, as I am already very familiar with the New Testament, and the parallel text helps when I'm working my way through. I can also take this to services and look up scriptures and get more exposure to Japanese.

A larger print version would be nice. Some of the higher stroke number kanji get quite dense and difficult to resolve, and the furigana is quite small and light. A magnifier helps, but it would be easier to read larger type on paper.

However, this is primarily intended for the native Japanese speaker, so it is probably just fine as is.

In our years of ministry in Japan, I longed for a bilingual NIV with a contemporary translation of the Bible in Japanese. In this bilinugal Bible we have the answer to that longing. The Japanese half has reading marks enabling learners of Japanese to be able to read the more difficult kanji combinations. I was thrilled to be able to find this at amazon.com!

Great bible with english on one side and Japanese on opposite page. Good print size is easy to read. Fast service from vendor. Thanks.
