Summary:
Updated NASB/NIV Parallel Bible Those who want to gain a better understanding of the Bible's original meaning and its precise wording and grammar will welcome the NASB/NIV Parallel Bible. Bringing together two acclaimed translations with distinctly different approaches, this Bible places side-by-side corresponding Scripture passages of the New International Version and the updated New American Standard Bible, allowing readers to compare and contrast. The result: insights that otherwise would be missed, gleaned from the shades of meaning this Bible brings to the forefront. The NASB/NIV Parallel Bible features the 1995 edition of the NASB, updated to make for easier reading of today's most literal word-for-word translation by replacing out-of-date words such as thee and thou with contemporary language. It also features the most popular modern translation, the NIV, to provide a meaning-for-meaning or thought-for-thought approach that presents the intended message of Scripture in an accurate, highly readable format. Including both NASB and NIV concordances, the NASB/NIV Parallel Bible does more than bring together two Bible translations--it provides a clearer understanding of Scripture.
One Message. Two Ways of Saying It. The world's two foremost Bible translation approaches come together in the Updated NASB/NIV Parallel Bible. This Bible does more than give you two highly respected Bible translations--it lets you access the strengths of the two most trusted translation approaches. The word-for-word literal method of the updated New American Standard Bible (NASB) lets you see what the original authors of the Bible wrote. The thought-for-thought approach of the New International Version (NIV) gives an accurate understanding of what they meant. The Updated NASB/NIV Parallel Bible sets the two methods side-by-side for you to compare and contrast, allowing you to gain insight from the distinctive nuances of meaning of each translation.
The Updated NASB/NIV Parallel Bible features:
- Updated NASB. The most literal word-for-word English translation available, updated to provide greater clarity of meaning. Vocabulary, grammar and sentence structure have been carefully updated to improve readability.
- NIV. Today's best-selling translation, offering a unique combination of scholarly accuracy and easy readability. The thought-for-thought approach to translation allows today's reader to better understand and apply the intended meaning of the original Bible writers.
- NASB and NIV concordances help you find passages you're looking for and study key themes of Scripture.
