5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Study Bible and Translation!, May 22, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I am very surprised that this Bible is not one of the best-selling study Bibles. All the references to poverty and social justice are highlighted in orange. The highlighting is made to look like a student took an orange highlighter and went to town. The Contemporary English Version seems to be less popular or less accepted in the Church than the NRSV, which may be why its environmental counterpart, The Green Bible (NRSV), is getting more attention. This is unfortunate, however, because the American Bible Society went to great pains to produce an accurate translation from Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek texts published by the United Bible Societies. The translation involved 100+ experts of the United Bible Societies, the most experienced translation organization in the world. Every page was reviewed by the American Bible Society for approval. Moreover, the project was ecumenical, because the scholars employed came from every continent and from several denominations. Varying theological perspectives went in to this translation. Features include brief footnotes that include terms like "onyx" and "sackcloth" and clarify puzzling phrases; a biblical timeline; a summary and topical index for each book; a mini-Bible dictionary, and very few black & white maps. The best thing about this translation is that it was intended to be readable and to be read aloud. I would like to quote the publisher here: "The CEV is an audio translation in print form, crafted to be read aloud without stumbling, heard without misunderstanding, and listened to with appreciation." (ix)This book makes an excellent compliment to The Green Bible and The Discipleship Study Bible (an overall commentary on the text). The three together pretty much spell out the theology and philosophy of the mainline Church and of theological moderates in general.

All three products are excellent and highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Focus of All Biblical Teachings: Justice for All, February 27, 2009
By Rosanne Ferreri-Feske (www.thenewuswoman.com) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This paperback Bible has highlighted all 2,000 references to poverty and justice. The commandment to bring heaven to earth can no longer be denied, nor the call to act NOW to rectify injustices in our community, city, state, nation and world. Give this Bible to everyone you know, especially your pastor!
