Publisher Description
The Bible in a modern and reliable format, using the official, updated text of the WEB (World English Bible). The intuitive, simple internal navigation system will not only let the reader move deftly and easily among the various Books and Chapters but it also offers a unique option: direct link to any specific verse. The translation is supplemented by a rich corpus of additional critical material. The introduction analyzes contents, literary characteristics, topics and elements that led to the genesis and formation of the Bible texts and it also provides various historical and religious approaches and keys to interpretation. The book then explains, in a simple and clear language, of the meaning, the spiritual message and the various possible ways of encountering the Bible. The book also analyzes the languages the Bible Books were written in, the authors, the dating, the literary genres and the most ancient translations. In addition to that the material includes an analysis of the structure of the Bible, the differences between the Catholic and Protestant Canons, the Apocrypha. The book is further enriched by a set of theme indexes listing the main Biblical episodes of the Old and New Testament plus the Parables of the Gospels. Lastly, the book features a series of "theme plans", that is theme-based reading paths that are useful also as “starting points” for communal reading, for example in prayer groups or religious communities.

Finally I understand
Oh forsaken thee had become in his searcheth to findeth a Bible that spoketh simpleton Englishness. One that wasnoteth written when pens had feathers and a ‘website’ was simply the location of a spiders home!
This Bible is perfect. Plain 21st century English with a huge amount of information on everything from what a Bible is, references to backup New Testament with Old. Apostle with Apostle and even particular subjects you may want to study.
I have not picked up a Bible for, well, too long. But, it’s always “where do I start?” With this Bible, there’s a selection and whilst the free Bible app is off course fantastic, this could be £19.99 and be worth every penny (please don’t make it £19.99).

Finally!
I’ve been looking for such a great edition of the sacred Bible for some time. The index with all the cross-references is very useful and the translation is very good. Finally!
