Today's German Bible

Rating:
Summary: Double plus good
Review: I find this Bible serves two main purposes and several minor. First by reading this version beside an English version one can see how today's German is used in context. A second major feat is to be more familiar with the Bible in general.
An added plus is different working gives different connotations and insights. Just like having "The Complete Parallel BIBLE" from Oxford University Press ISBN 019528316X, laying this Bible next to it adds the richness of the German language to the translation.

One quick comparison Psalm 88:19

Because of you companions shun me;
my only friend is darkness

Mine Freunde und Nachbarn hast du mir entfremdet;
Mein einziger Begleiter ist die Finsternis.
