5.0 out of 5 stars great
even better than i thought - it is softcover, but a very nice softcover (in typical softcover bible style), and has a much nicer appearance than the cover art image would lead you to believe. i tried to research quite a lot before buying, in order to find a good catholic bible in japanese, and this seems to be the one to get (at least if you're overseas). recommended.

This review is from: Japanese Niv Bbl Flex (Japanese Edition) (Paperback)
In response to another reviewer: Of course the average Japanese has a hard time understanding the specialized vocabulary and concepts of this rather literal translation. His culture is telling him very different things than what the Bible teaches and he is not familiar with the history and culture of the Bible.This translation (ISBN#4820212117) is the New Interconfessional (Shin Kyodoyaku) produced by the Japan Bible Society in cooperation with the Roman Catholic Church in Japan. It is used in most main-line Protestant churches and Catholic churches in Japan. If you want an easy-to-understand version for the man on the street, try the Japanese Living Bible. And, Oh Yes, there IS a manga Bible. See the Manga Bible Story-Japanese.
