"Whether you're looking for a Bible that you can trust or you're merely curious as to what makes each version unique, The Best Bible? will orient you with insights into the translation process and the kinds of decisions that Bible translators and editors make. It briefly surveys the rich (and treacherous) tradition of English Bible translation done by those who labored under official repression or paid with royal patronage. It will guide you through twelve contemporary English Bible versions, while demonstrating each of their aims and accomplishments, so that you will feel competent to pick ""the best Bible"" for your reading, teaching, or preaching.
