New European Version

Free Copy Here

From the introduction "The New European Version isn’t a fresh translation; rather is it a remediation into modern English of the New Testament as found in the KJV and ASV. In some difficult and controversial areas, the original Greek text has been retranslated in an attempt to provide dynamic equivalence in modern English.

Overall, the New European Version seeks to provide a text which is in outline terms familiar to those who have been used to the traditional Bible versions, an  yet which is sensitive to the needs of those for whom English is a second language. Another intention of this version is to provide a modern English text which is available for use with far more liberal copyright and usage restrictions than those attached to many other modern English versions. Any wishing to reprint or quote at length from the New European Version are welcome to contact the publishers. The layout and text of the New European Version, the commentary and the reduced version of Bible Basics in the appendix are copyright Duncan Heaster." 

The text is definitely closer to the ASV than the KJV. It follows the modern versions that are translated from the critical text in most cases. 

Then there is the commentary. You should be aware that Mr. Heaster is a Christadelphian. As such, the notes state that Jesus is not the Son of God. And there is the belief that hell isn't a real place, just the grave. 

As such, if you do request this Bible beware that there is some definite sectarian slants in the notes. I would personally recommend passing on this one unless you have the desire to study their doctrine through the notes.

The Verbose Philosopher: NKJV 1982 vs 1984/85



This is a handy guide if you have a NKJV Bible. I had known there was an update to the text, but never knew how to tell them apart. Turns out there is quite an easy way.

Bible reading in 90 days

http://www.faithvillage.com/article/d3dcc236387d463e8847180c5860895b/why_i_read_the_bible_every_90_days

This pastor makes a point of reading through the entire Bible four times a year. I think it is a great idea. I can get through the NT in about a month if I try, but I have never tried to read the entire Bible in a single season.

I have recently started using the CEB. It is such a breath of fresh air after coming from the KJV. It is very conversational and makes reading large sections much easier. I am able to read an entire gospel in one sitting. That is something I was never able to do before. Even if I don't stay with it will have been a good thing since it showed me that it is possible to read that much at one time. I read Matthew this morning in about an hour. I am pleased with that.  The fact that it is more easily understood will make it much more likely for me to keep up with my Bible study.

Welcome

Hello all. This is the first of hopefully many posts here on Christian Book Reviews. I will be reviewing Bibles and doctrinal books mostly. In the next few days expect the first review. It will be a commentary on Revelation. Hope to see you all there.
