Summary: A good version
Comment: I think I'd have to agree with another reviewer that this Bible version is better than the NIV(New International Version). I really like its style and it seems rather faithful to the texts if you compare it to the King James Version. I use this and the King James in my Bible devotional time.

Summary: Extremely easy to read
Comment: The Good News Bible is probably the best version to read in order to grasp the basic meaning of biblical passages. It is easy to read, but does not come across as undignified and overly colloquial. This edition includes the complete Roman Catholic canon and other books not considered inspired (1 and 2 Esdras and the Prayer of Manasseh). It also contains essays on such topics as Biblical history, literature, and important themes. However, these essays are the same ones present in many editions of the New American Bible. There are also boxes in the biblical text relating to certain themes (e.g. the Dead Sea, the Jewish Calendar, etc.) that contain additional notes. This is not, however, a study bible in the true sense, but there are a variety study aids. Overall, this is a great addition to a Christian's biblical library.

Summary: Clear and Accurate Bible Version!
Comment: The TEV is a great version. Whenever I find another version wordy or hard to grasp I always go to the TEV to clear it up. This edition is especially useful b/c it is a nice hardbound copy, it has the apocrypha and deuterocanonicals for those who wish to study more in depth, and it has nice essays and book intros. Overall a VERY nice and inexpenisve package.
