The New Oxford Annotated Bible with Apocrypha: New Revised Standard Version

Product Information

The most interesting parts were not the text of the Bible itself, but the annotations, introductions and essays by the scholars and translators that worked on this edition. My man, Dan McClellan, who is the scripture translation supervisor for the LDS Church, recommended most of these. So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal's wife the Carmelite. While others complain of the navigation issues, I find navigation pretty standard for Kindle edition. Again, I would love to see an update of this with all verse references/cross-references hyperlinked, like in the NABRE noted above, and with improved navigation, with a real table of contents including links for individual chapters within books.

The translation uses the BSB as a base, and is designed to bring out the full meaning, intensity, and clarity of the original Greek and Hebrew sources. These narratives were likely a way for the Jews to explain, why they seemed to be constantly the victims of terrible events, like being conquered by foreign empires or being enslaved, despite being the chosen people of the one and only God.

I understand the desire to have it all in one volume, but I wish a large-print edition was available, even if the physical book itself were much larger. Although I treasure my old KJV and Rheimes-Douay, the NOAB 4th Edition is the best biblical investment I've ever made. And yes, the only reason why am am granting not five but only four stars to The New Oxford Annotated Bible with Apocrypha is that trying to find specific Bible passages using the Kindle version (using this here version) of The New Oxford Annotated Bible with Apocrypha is definitely not all that easy and sometimes indeed rather majorly frustrating (although I must say that considering that I do know how heavy and ridiculously unportable the non e-book version of The New Oxford Annotated Bible with Apocrypha is, I am most certainly totally pleased to have, to own, the Kindle edition).

What I didn't like: The text itself was definitely more challenging than the NIV (though probably less than the King James). Other classical works of literature (Homer, Beowulf, Gilgamesh and The Arabian Nights amongst others), history (Herodotus, Thucydides, Eusebius, Plutarch all come mind), philosophy (Plato, Aristotle) and religion (Koran and Bhagavad-Gita) display similar inconsistencies yet we would be at best considered intellectually deficient to reject these works. It was my first time reading the New Testament through (I read the Old Testament in a different book, The Jewish Study Bible) and I think this edition does a great job of providing the right amount of information--the annotations are helpful and easy to access without being overwhelming.

But hey ho - what's on offer is light years in advance of the previous PDF masquerading as a "Kindle" version. I'm definitely open to people's thoughts - I'm more interested here in the psychology and archetypes of religion than the content itself - I'm not here to indulge people who wish to convert me to anything, but I don't mind hearing your ideas on teachings at all. The supplementary tables, charts, diagrams and maps are extremely helpful, although the latter, being in colour, don't come across well on a Kindle. This isn't always so bad, especially in shorter books, but what if you're trying to get to the 48th Chapter in Isaiah? have come to expect, bringing still more insights, information, and approaches to bear upon the understanding of the biblical text.More Hamburger icon An icon used to represent a menu that can be toggled by interacting with this icon. All of the books in the KJV version of the Old Testament were originally written in Hebrew except for Ezra and Daniel, which were written in Hebrew and Aramaic; other canons have additional text from Aramaic and Greek. I was raised in a pseudo-Christian setting where on the surface level, everyone pretended to be Christian but really were undecided and ultimately didn't think. Comment: The book may have minor cosmetic wear like creased spine, cover, scratches, curled corners, folded pages, minor sunburn, minor water damage, minor bent. General essays on history, translation matters, different canons in use today, and issues of daily life in biblical times inform the reader of important aspects of biblical study.
