Useful Update of New English Bible,
By
This review is from: The Revised English Bible (Bible Reb) (Hardcover)
The Revised English Bible is a useful one to have, partly because it translates freshly, and does not slavishly follow the traditions established by Wyclif, Tyndale, the King James, Revised Standard Version, etc. The use of inclusive language is cautious and the translators are not squeamish about using masculine pronouns occasionally. But the language used is not the language people speak: at least not here in Australia! At times it sounds quite stilted and unnecessarily formal. If you liked the New English Bible, I think you will find that this one is a big improvement. There is not as much conjectural emendation in the Old Testament, and the translators are less inclined to move the text around, as was done in translations by Moffat and the NEB. It is well worth getting a copy for the fresh approach.

This review is from: The Revised English Bible (Bible Reb) (Hardcover)
Not as readable as the NIV or TNIV, this translation is still a bit more dynamic and functional than the Living Bible or the Message--which are both paraphrases (free translations). I use this Great Britain translation to compare with and contrast against other versions (translations) when I am studying passages in the Bible. Because it more functional and not as formal as the NKJ or NASB, it is easier to read than these literal translations. It is a good 4th or 5th Bible to use for studying purposes. I also use the NASB, the Message, and the NRSV during these studies.
