5.0 out of 5 stars Clear and Accurate Translation of God's Word, October 2, 2000
By Kathy Livingston (East Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Holy Bible With Deuterocanonicals/Apocrypha: Contemporary English Version (Paperback)
The CEV is a modern translation that faithfully represents the meanings of scripture in simplified modern English, with an emphasis on being heard clearly when read aloud. I am not new to scripture, but I find that this Bible forces me to reconsider familiar passages. A comparison of the text to the NAS, a faithful literal translation, shows that the CEV has also represented the concepts faithfully. Although I am not a scholar of the original languages, I have taken many "difficult" passages and compared the text of the CEV with what commentaries and other translations have to say. The CEV always shows itself to be a faithful representative of the original meaning. In addition, the CEV represents gender accurately. This is an excellent choice for those new to scripture and for those seeking to look at it with fresh eyes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Bible-especially for children, August 27, 2003
By Joseph T Reinckens II (Dallas, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Holy Bible: Contemporary English Version (Paperback)
I am writing this specifically regarding the translation, since I have not spent much time looking through the entire volume.

I bought two copies, for use in Children's Church, ages 1-11. Although this is not a "children's translation" it is probably the easiest translation to understand, even easier than the Children's edition of the NIV and the Living Translation. I particularly recommend it for people with limited language ability, although it looks like it would be useful for general use too.
