Available in softcover and premium Decotone bindings. -115 leading biblical scholars from 22 faith traditions - Field tested by 77 reading specialists in 13 denominations - 90-day reading plan - Single column format - Color maps by National Geographic Endorsement: Our reading group was transformed by this experience of reading and commenting on the Common English Bible. It s significant that people from age 15 to 85 were so fired up by reading the translation. - Eileen Parfrey, Springwater Presbyterian Church, Estacada, Oregon
\ Library JournalThe Common English Bible (www.commonenglishbible.com), likely the largest cross-denominational translation project in recent memory, unites Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, Evangelical, United Methodist, and numerous other faith traditions in a joint effort to create a complete but broadly accessible Bible for the 21st century. No single translation, despite the breadth of this committee's reach, is likely to please all, but this sincere and diligent effort goes far toward the creation of a plain-English version that, without falling into folksiness or false hipsterism, can be read and understood by a range of ages, educational backgrounds, and aptitudes. Watch for the Old Testament later in 2011. VERDICT The jury is out on whether this will be the pulpit or lectern Bible for the new generation of preachers and congregations, but it will be an excellent resource for the young or beginning Christian.\ \
