REB Lectern Bible: Revised English Bible
Search in google:
This Bible encapsulates all the facets of craft production for which Cambridge University Press is renowned. It has been specially designed for public reading and would make an exceptional gift for a church. The Revised English Bible is a home-grown Bible version produced by scholars from all the main UK churches, some of whom had worked on the REB's predecessor version, the New English Bible, twenty years earlier. The translators strove to produce natural, everyday English that would lend itself to public worship. Each verse was read aloud to the other translators, to ensure that the sound rhythms and line endings worked well. The REB Lectern Bible has the same page numbers as Cambridge's REB Pew Bibles.
The Revised English Bible is the successor to the New English Bible, and has been sponsored and approved by all the major Christian denominations in Britain. It is the only modern Bible translation available today which was written from the beginning for the English, rather than American, market.
