This authoritative version of the New Testament in modern English is an entirely new translation from the original Greek. It was made under the direction of all the leading Protestant churches in the British Isles by a group of outstanding Bible and literary scholars who spent thirteen years carrying out their task. The New English Bible is not the expression of any denominational or doctrinal leaning; it is offered simply as the Bible to all those who will use it in reading, teaching, or worship. Readers and students, especially young people, who seek to understand the Bible and who have been puzzled by difficult passages in earlier versions have already found The New English Bible clear and compelling.
"Of all the translations known to me, The New English Bible seems to reproduce most closely and accurately the bare, simple style of the Gospels in their original Greek, without perplexing obscurities or false archaisms."—Gilbert Highet "To read it is like reading the great story for the first time."—Life "An achievement of first quality."—New York Times Book Review "Among all the modern translations no one seems to surpass, or even to equal, The New English Bible, with its clarity, accuracy, and touches of quiet beauty."— Andrew W. Blackwood, Professor Emeritus, Princeton Theological Seminary
"I am greatly taken with this new translation. . .It captures something of the distinctive quality, the tang, of the ancient original. Readers will find a new vitality in many a familiar passage."—John Knox, Union Theological Seminary, New York
