Summary: Highly recommended!
Review: I use this parallel NT each time I am preparing a sermon or
Bible study on a passage in the NT. It is very good, the
translation choices are from the wide spectrum of English
translations, literal to paraphrase. I wish the publisher
had placed the NKJV next to the KJV and the NASB next to
the NIV. It would have made this resource even more useful.
But this deserves a place on every pastor's study desk.
Highly recommended.

Summary: Makes reading the NT much easier
Review: Most of us are used to using only one Bible translation. After all, it would be laborious to carry more than one book to our meetins. And most of the time, one translation is just fine. But there can be differences in the translations that, if I have access to it, it might make a passage much clearer. That's why I recommend this book. I enjoy the NIV, but sometimes it's beneficial to see how the more literal NASB puts it. I also enjoy the NLT. But having memorized many verses in the old KJV, it's nice to check up here and see this too. Overall, I think every Christian should have this as part of his/her Bible study library.

Summary: Excellent resource
Review: My belief is that no single translation of the Bible can be relied upon for accuracy. I prefer to use a "parallel" Bible which many translations, side by side on the page. By comparing various translations, one can detect some interesting biases and distortions introduced by the translators. This parallel New Testament is an excellent buy for the money, and in icludes an excellent selection of translations.

Summary: No Frills
Review: There are eight translations in this book; KJV, NASB, New Century, Contemporary English Version, NIV, New Living Translation, New King James and The Message. There are 4 translations to a page so you can see all translations for the same passage at the same time. The open book shows you all eight at once. There is a 2 page preface for each version in the front of the book. It gives a brief summary of how we got that version. This book is easy to read. The format is great. It doesnt have any frills though, no concordance etc. Great book for the price. Makes comparisons simple and easy.

Summary: No Frills
Review: This Bible is New Testament only, which is it's only drawback. On a two-page spread, the reader can study a Bible passage in 8 different translations! Everything from the King James Version to The Message is included! My favorite translations are NIV and New Living Translation (NLT), but I enjoy reading the others as well. When a passage is hard to understand, reading all the translations can be extremely helpful. Having The Message side-by-side with the others is a great feature of this Bible!One complaint I have is with the quality of the book itself. When you open the book, you can run your finger down the middle where the pages are bound together and it makes a crinkling sound. It's rather bumpy there where the pages come together and while it doesn't affect the quality of the text, it can be slightly annoying if you love books for their feel in your hands and the quality of the materials used, as well as for the content of the book! I highly recommend this book - it sure beats having 8 different Bibles open around you while you're studying! Having this one leaves you more room for your Concordance, Bible Dictionary, and Commentaries! Please check out my other reviews of Christian books and my Listmania List of "Great Bibles".

Summary: A diversity of translations pulled together
Review: This Parallel New Testament is nothing more than a preface and foreward and the scriptures of eight more popular translations (with their preface and forewards). But that is great! The eight represent a strong cross section of translation styles, from the more literal word-for-word (NAS,NIV) to the more thought-for-thought (The Message, The Living Translation). I believe the variation of translations draws one closer to understanding what God is saying to us; this is the next best thing to reading it in the Greek (and having a Greek expert and 1st century historian available for interpretting those phrases that don't make sense in a word for word translation).
