5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read and faithful to the Catholic Church, January 11, 2000

This review is from: The Way-LB (Paperback)

I was given this Bible as a Christmas gift, and my initial reaction to a Bible written in contemporary English was one of skepticism. I thought that this would surely be a watered-down version of Sacred Scriptures that compromises the true meaning of God's Word for the sake of making it easy to read. After spending some time with this Bible, I am pleased to say that I was wrong. It is written in easy to read contemporary English, but still manages to convey the truth of God's Word in a way that is consistent with Catholic faith and morals. One thing I didn't like is that the deuterocanonical books were placed in a separate section at the end rather than in their traditional order among the other books. Still, I think this Bible is worth buying for anyone who wants a very readable version of Sacred Scripture that is faithful to the Catholic Church.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bible for young adults, August 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Way-LB (Paperback)

This bible has a great layout. Each book is preceeded by an application to real life which helps the reader understand the book he/she is about to read. At the front of the Bible there are questions that people frequently ask and Scripture sites that contain the answers to those questions. It's just great!

This review is from: The Way-LB (Paperback)

Back when I was junior in High School at a Jesuit School, this was given to us as our Bible. Being young at the time, I just set it aside. I recently found it on my bookshelf and I do have to say its a great edition for the youth.

I like the reading plan and the commentaries as part of the forward as well as each book.

And, there are some funny paraphrases, like: "John's disciples and the Jewish leaders sometimes fasted, that is, went without food as part of their religion."
