The CCB is an easy-to-read translation that disappeared before my eyes. What I mean is this: with most Bible translations, I am frequently noticing their word choices and translation decisions, but with this, I didn't. Except for a very few spots, I was able to read it without being reminded that I was reading a translation at all. I appreciated that smoothness very much. It is also one the very few Bibles with commentary where I found the comments to be actually helpful and interesting. I recommend this for anybody who loves the Bible or who wants to see what it is all about.

Wonderful!
Good commentaries are included below, making it easy to understand.
The language is accessible, making it easier to understand for a non-native English speaker.
Good support for my Bible Studies.

A blatantly biased Bible through its commentaries and study notes. Clearly a flagship liberation theology Bible that distracts an earnest Bible reader by claming how Bible stories are mere myths, legends from surrounding cultures, that Bible characters and stories are questioned and merely stated as allegorical or manmade, that class and power structures is the message of the Bible. Why bother publish a Bible to debunk the Bible?

The Bible is the greatest book of all time and I make it a point to read it every year. It's my second book read for 2025 and each time, it brings new wisdom and guidance.

This has been my daily reading Bible since 1999. What I appreciate most are the historical explanations and side bar notes found throughout this Bible, which offer context and insight about the Scriptural texts. Very helpful!

Yeah, it's the bible. But this edition's notes are so worth reading! Insightful and aimed at Christians whose lives are rooted in community. Hard to find but unbeatable. James, this one's for you.
