The Essential Evangelical Parallel Bible
New King James Version
English Standard Version
New Living Translation
The Message
The first parallel Bible to feature the updated New Living Translation Text.
Contrasts precise and literal vs. dynamic and 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
"The Textual Basis of New Testament Translation," Daniel B. Wallace
"The Textual Basis of Old Testament Translation," John R. Kohlenberger III
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.
