TheEssential Evangelical Parallel Bibleenables readers to easily compare a quartet of modern translations that span the full range of approaches, from the most precise and literal to the most dynamic and reader-friendly. The New King James Version and English Standard Version permit close word-study, while the New Living Translation and The Message present the text as its earliest audiences might have experienced it. The complete texts of the four translations featured in this volume are conveniently displayed on facing pages (two translations per page), with the same set of verses on each one. TheEEPBis particularly noteworthy because it is the first parallel Bible to feature the updated NLT text.

This Bible is highly recommended for all Bible students and collectors, evangelical or not. --Bible Editions and Versions
