About the Author
Living Bible Japan released this easy-to-understand paraphrase of the Bible in 1984 and revised it in 1993 and 2004. This Japanese paraphrase was especially developed for the 99% of Japanese who are not Christians and are unfamiliar with the world of the Bible with its culture, concepts and unfamiliar vocabulary.

WOW ! Understandable Japanese with Understandable English,
This review is from: Japanese-English Living Bible New Testament: Paraphrased (Japanese and English Edition) (Paperback)
Our English and Bible students (Japanese women) say this Japanese version is the easiest to understand compared with other versions. And here it is in parallel columns with the brilliant English Bible paraphrase that speaks ordinary English. The best thing for us foreigners is the pronunciation marks over all the Chinese characters. It helps us learn how to explain the Bible in ordinary Japanese language. The only problem is this is only the New Testament.

This review is from: Japanese-English Living Bible New Testament: Paraphrased (Japanese and English Edition) (Paperback)
While working with a teenager from Japan who is unfamiliar with Christianity, I have had great difficulty explaning certain words used in other Japanese and English Bible translations. The student tells me that they are doing much better in understanding what the Bible is talking about using the Paraphrased Living Bible.

Not the best version, but very ergonomic,
This review is from: Japanese-English Living Bible New Testament: Paraphrased (Japanese and English Edition) (Paperback)
Not a fan of the Amplified Bible. Also, the Japanese is translated from the English, not the Greek. However, it is easy to understand, and a great tool to use for anyone going to visit Japan. I gave this to my girlfriend before she went to Japan to study for a year. Great evangelism tool.
