8 pages of full-color maps exclusively from 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, Estacado, Oregon
The Common English Bible is a 2011 translation that was completed. As translators, one hundred and twenty biblical academics from twenty-two faith traditions were involved. These women and men struck a balance between meticulous accuracy in translating ancient writings and a sincere devotion to clarity of expression in modern English. The result is an English translation of the Bible that is simple, straightforward, and compelling for Bible study, devotional reading, and worship.
