The New English Bible
An assessment by Ian McIntyre with readings by DIANA ROBSON , ROBERT EDDISON
The New English Bible was published in the spring of last year. The reviews that have appeared in this country alone already fill eight plump volumes, and sales are well past the 2-million mark.
How has it weathered the cruet comparison with the Authorised Version? Is it written in good English or merely in modern English?
What questions does it raise about the authority and interpretation of the Old Testament. and what impact is it likely to have on the life of the Church? An exceptionally lively and thought-provoking programme
