3.0 out of 5 stars A good first step?, March 19, 2002

By	B. Riggio (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Japanese Bible-FL-Colloquial (Japanese Edition) (Paperback)

Thank you for making a Japanese bible! But we need an updated translation. A japanese friend of mine (who grew up in Japan) flipped thruogh this bible, and said the language was hard to read, and there were words she didn't recognize. What we really need is a Magna version of the bible. That is what everyone grows up reading, that is what they are used to reading, that is the style of literature they are comfortable with. Is anyone doing such a thing? How bout it, JBS?

3.0 out of 5 stars In response to another reviewer, February 24, 2006

By	Don E. Regier - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Japanese Bible-FL (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars great, February 4, 2007

By	caught_along (California, US) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Japanese Bible-FL (Japanese Edition) (Paperback)

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.
