The first parallel Bible to feature the updated
New Living Translation Text.

reader-friendly translations.
Insightful essays illuminate the issues of the
underlying text and translation choices:
-
"Introduction to the Essential
Evangelical Parallel Bible," John R. Kohlenberger III
-
"Understanding Bible Translation,"
Mark L. Strauss

This fresh new parallel resource enables
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 NKJV and ESV permit close word study, while the NLT and
The Message present the text as its earliest audiences might
have experience it. The EEPB is especially noteworthy
because it features the updated text of the NLT.
The four versions' complete texts are
conveniently displayed on facing pages (two translations per
page), with the same set of verses on each line. This
arrangement makes it easy for readers to compare how
different scholars rendered the ancient biblical texts into
Modern English.
The Essential Evangelical Parallel Bible
includes the preface or introduction of each translation.
It clearly illustrates the translation philosophies and word
choices made by diverse groups of evangelical scholars whose
work is relied upon today by millions of believers.
