God so good Corking

The "New Living Translation-Catholic Edition(NLT-CE)" is a very smooth and comprehensible "Roman Catholic Bible"; does justice to its name as "Reader's Edition". What makes it "readable" is its translation style: dynamic equivalence(thought for thought, instead of literal word for word). It has been, like most other modern-day translations that were originally Protestant, translated from the original languages.

Needless to say, this Bible contains the "Deuterocanonical" books of the Old Testament, which have been translated under the supervision of Catholic Biblical experts in India and has an Imprimatur granted by His Eminence Cardinal Oswald Gracias, Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Bombay, India. Being from Mumbai, it makes me really proud to have a Bible approved by and revised/translated under the supervision of CBCI(Catholic Bishops Conference of India).

I am glad that Tyndale Publishers have a Kindle version of this Bible available. It is super convenient to read an ebook than a chunky physical Bible with tiny text. It is also available in India as a printed Bible by "ATC" publishers, but I don't have a copy of it. I plan to buy the Tyndale Publishers' version in the future that is better in quality(although more expensive than the one sold by the Indian publisher).

Having said all the nice things about this Bible, I'd want to emphasize that this Bible version is intended for "DEVOTIONAL READING ONLY". If your intention is to enter into apologia, debating with people across religions and denominations, this is NOT the version to be used. Versions like the Douay Rheims, Ignatius Bible(RSV-2CE) & Augustine Bible(ESV-CE) are preferable as they are essentially literal.
