5.0 out of 5 stars Learning Bible, March 19, 2002
By 
J. Lindner (Gem Lake, MN United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Learning Bible: Contemporary English Version (Hardcover)
Written in plain English just about anyone can understand, this Bible seems to have many informational notes not found in other Bibles. Because it is so easy to read, this make for a good Bible for elementary level Sunday School teachers. Teachers can have their students read and discuss scripture without having to do on the spot translations.

But this Bible is not just for youngsters. Adults can gain new insight into Biblical lessons in ways that other Bibles fail to deliver. There are many "mini articles" that provide unique perspective and there are introductions to each book that helps place it in proper context. It is interesting to note that Barabbas is described as a well known "terrorist" as if to add new emphasis on his release from condemnation. The side notes and cross references are also very useful.

All of these many components make this Bible a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning Christian scripture.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Spectacular CEV Learning Bible, March 19, 2002
This review is from: The Learning Bible: Contemporary English Version (Hardcover)
I just purchased this bible in paperback and haven't been able to put it down! The full-color pages are filled with drawings, pictures, artwork, explanations, thought-provoking questions, key bible verses, etc., etc., etc. This is a MUST HAVE for every Christian...young, old, new or seasoned. Wish I could give it more stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent details beyond the word., August 23, 2000
By 
ray gummer (brooklyn park, mn United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Learning Bible: Contemporary English Version (Hardcover)
The Learning Bible has more information than you will find in most other study Bibles. It's a joy to discover all the details from the history of the Bible specifics about archeology in an easy to read format. I was especially impressed with the art from all over the world which gives this book a special, international flavor.
