Bible - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This is a new translation of the Bible for the 1990s and beyond. Commissioned by The Joint Committee of the Churches under the Chairmanship of Lord Coggan, it is the result of a unique and historic co-operation between all the major Christian Churches in the United Kingdom. While this new translation is the outcome of a very full and careful revision of The New English Bible , and builds upon that Bible's strengths, it is much more than a mere revised edition, being, in its own right, an entirely new version. Teams of specialists and ordinary people have combined to provide a text that uses clear, up-to-date but dignified language, that will appeal to young and old alike, be suitable for reading aloud in Churches, and prove essential for study in schools and colleges. Planned and directed by representatives of The Baptist Union of Great Britain; The Church of England; The Church of Scotland; The Council of Churches for Wales; The London Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends; The Methodist Church of Great Britain; The Moravian Church in Great Britain and Ireland; The Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales; The Roman Catholic Church in Ireland; The Roman Catholic Church in Scotland; The Salvation Army; the United Reformed Church; The Bible Society; The National Bible Society of Scotland. To be published jointly by Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press.
