Diligently Compared and Revised The New English Bible

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

An assessment by Ian Mclntyre 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 itweathered the cruel 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? Produced by GEORGE FISCHER
