I used this book to help me during my most recent read of the New Testament. With 8 different translations of the same portion of scripture on two facing pages, this was book was very helpful to tease out the meaning of some of the more tricky NT passages. I used this while I read my Harper Collins Study Bible, which uses the NRSV as its base text, a translation that I'm sure is good, but that I don't always trust, given the translation committee's express goals that occasionally stray from a literal translation. This book was definitely a great resource for someone like me -- I don't know Greek, at all, and I'm NOT a Bible scholar. Now I need to find something similar for the Old Testament.

I have been reading the Bible from the time I was old enough to read. The Bible contains the message of life, and how to have life more abundantly, not by reading reviews, but by accepting the truth.

doesn't have every version i like, but it's a great way to see many of the different ways the new testament is translated.
