Summary: Very Understandable
Comment: To get right to the point, this is a great translation. I am walking away from my study time with a clearer understanding of the passages I've read. I was a die-hard King James man and was leary of modern translations. I wanted to get a version that was accurately translated into today's english. I find this to be a reliable translation. I think that this Bible is presently out of print, but worth getting even used. Hopefully they will make another print soon. God bless you!!

Summary: Excellent Translation
Comment: If you're looking for a more 'updated' translation of the New Testament, this book is definitely worth a look. I agree with a prior reviewer who mentioned that in reading this book your mind will undoubtedly compare and contrast this translation with others that you've read in the past. It's really quite an enjoyable exercise!
I must also say a few words about issues raised in a previous post as they relate to this book. First off, it was J B Phillips' intention to follow this work up with a similar translation of the Old Testament, but unfortunately he never had the chance. Neither he nor any other Christians that I come into contact with desire to clip Jews and their history out of God's redemptive plan. Quite to the contrary - the Christian church is and will continue to be a bastion of Jewish support.
Secondly, the knock on the New Testament as 'a collection of pawns in a cosmic chess match between good and evil' reflects a pretty poor understanding of the material contained therein. Furthermore, to say that the book's central character, Jesus Christ, is a vindictive man who only sees black and white again misses the point. Jesus was very much about forgiveness, and on numerous occasions rebuffed people for their unbending interpretation of sin and punishment.

Summary: Speaks Loudly in a Whisper
Comment: I have been enlightened, informed and comforted by this translation for many years. This interpretation, some call a paraphrase, flows gently upon the reader. It is a step back from "modern" English to a simpler, less-complicated, and inviting version of the Gospel. When I need assurance, solace, open words, I turn to this book.
