REB vs. NABRE: New Testament Letters (26th Sunday in OT)

Posted On September 30, 2018September 30, 2018 By Marc2 Comments

Welcome to the sixteenth week of comparing the New American Bible Revised Edition (NABRE) with the Revised English Bible (REB) for the second reading at Sunday’s Mass. This is a chance to compare a strongly literal translation like the NABRE New Testament with a much more dynamic translation like the REB. As the translators Continue Reading

Integrating Historical Criticism with Faith

Posted On September 27, 2018September 27, 2018 By Marc8 Comments

A difficulty that I continue to confront as I study the Bible is: What is the best way to bring together historical critical scholarship with theological and faith-filled perspectives? There is a chasm between the two that relatively few authors dare to explore in a truly rigorous manner. There are Continue Reading

In Praise of the CEB Psalms

Posted On September 21, 2018September 21, 2018 By Marc13 Comments

Back in June, I praised the NABRE Psalms for their beauty and lyrical quality. Another one of my favorite translations of the Psalms is the Common English Bible (CEB) — for very different reasons. The CEB Psalms wear raw emotion on their sleeve. None of it is masked under formal language or Continue Reading

ATC Books Now Accepts PayPal

Posted On September 18, 2018September 18, 2018 By Marc6 Comments

Thanks to reader Mike Borges for alerting me that ATC (the publishers of the ESV-CE and NLT-CE in India) now accepts PayPal payments. Readers of Timothy’s blog reported enormous difficulties with ordering from ATC earlier this year due to payment problems. PayPal should make payments much easier. Here is the Continue Reading

First Look: Great Adventure Bible (RSV-2CE) from Ascension Press

Posted On September 13, 2018September 13, 2018 By Marc19 Comments

I just received the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension Press this afternoon. Overall, I like this edition. It has surprisingly opaque pages with little ghosting; the font is large and very readable. I’m estimating the bible text is close to a size 10 font. When we discussed the announcement for Continue Reading

Tracking Down the Revisions in the NLT-CE and the ESV-CE

Posted On September 7, 2018September 7, 2018 By Marc15 Comments

In June, I reported on my quest for more details regarding the New Living Translation – Catholic Edition(NLT-CE) and the English Standard Version – Catholic Edition (ESV-CE). The press releases for both translations stated that a team of scholars reviewed the bible text and made revisions.  I’m very interested to know what verses Continue Reading
