This is a complete comparison of the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament

The Complete Parallel Bible with the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical Books: New Revised Standard Version, Revised English Bible, New American Bible, New Jerusalem Bible I searched for a long time to find a parallel bible containing the NAB and NJB. The NSRV and REB were an added plus. The parallel design is to compare the more literal translation with the one that best follows the meaning. This is almost necessary as even the literal and meaning comparisons are still interpretations. Look at how they handle Psalms 88:19 for variations in verse numbering. In the front, there is a nice description of how the different versions came about. The introduction has: · The Translations and their Background · The Arrangement of the Translations · The Order of the Biblical Material · Variations in the Text of the Different Translations · Explanations of the Translators' Footnotes · Variations in Verse Numbering · Use of the Parallel Text
