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 of introduction of each translation. It clearly illustrates the translation philosophies and word choices make by diverse groups of evangelical scholars whose work is relied upon today by millions of believers.
