The Jerusalem Bible: Reader's Edition

It's smooth flowing because the Verse Numbers are placed outside the text (at the page corners). More Importantly, it's the most poetic English Translation I have seen!Only 4 Stars cause in this print edition, the font size is small and if you're gonna read more than a few chapters (like in your personal Bible study), it's going to strain your eyes. Also, this edition does not have the study reference notes that the original print edition had.

Nit for every day reading, The verse nos. are difficult to find.

This is an easy to read and understand Bible version that is used by other Christian churches. Only problem is the small print.E' una versione della bibbia facile da leggere e capire, usata nelle altre chiese, non solo quella cattolica. L'unico problema e' lo stampo piccolo.

L'article de remplacement est à nouveau défectueux !!

I like the single column format and the English translation of this bible. The print is not large, but I can read it well enough with my glasses, and will probably use reader's glasses that magnify to make it even easier on my eyes. The print is darker on some pages than on others, but there are so many pages it would probably be hard to keep them all the same shade during printing depending on the press that was used. I saw that one person's review said that Chapter 7 of Isaiah was missing, so I checked and the one I just received has that chapter included so if it was a previous mistake it has been corrected. I'm looking forward to reading it, just received my copy today.

Saw this listed in a list of 'must reads' for conservatives and thought, how could a translation of the good book be on this list? I was curious.Of the translations I've seen and read to date, I would recommend this translation above all others. There's something in this translation that brings the full story of the bible to vivid life for me. I didn't think another read through of the bible would do that.A quality production overall but, on very rare occasion, have found some of the print characters to be inconsistent or unclear. I haven't reduced the stars as this hasn't prevented me from understanding or inferring the text.This particular product also looks the part and arrived in good time and in good order.

This claims to be the Reader's Edition (which should contain colour and black and white maps, a Chronological Table, Tables of Measures and Money) but it is actually just the Popular Edition (without the aforementioned extras).{The Bible text itself is, I have sound reasons to believe, the most faithful and worthy [modern] English translation}
