Product Description

This Bible encapsulates all the facets of craft production for which Cambridge University Press is renowned. It has been specially designed for public reading and would make an exceptional gift for a church. The Revised English Bible is a home-grown Bible version produced by scholars from all the main UK churches, some of whom had worked on the REB's predecessor version, the New English Bible, twenty years earlier. The translators strove to produce natural, everyday English that would lend itself to public worship. Each verse was read aloud to the other translators, to ensure that the sound rhythms and line endings worked well. The REB Lectern Bible has the same page numbers as Cambridge's REB with Apocrypha Pew Bibles.

Well Worth Every Penny        Rating:

This is the last Bible that I will likely ever purchase for myself. It is beautiful with first class workmanship, and it is built to last. Being a minister of the gospel, I have searched for this book for the past several years, and was finally able to find one that actually shipped to me!

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
(Isa 52:7)

To this end, I will be using THIS WORD to share with others.

Beautiful workmanship        Rating:

This is a magnificent volume. It is heavy, very well produced, easy to read, and worth the expense if the KJV is what you want. Having the extensive introduction as well as the apocrapha (both original to the translation) is a joy.

This is THE Book to read.        Rating:

Yes indeed. The Bible is the Book of books. Everyone should have a copy and read it. And it's the kind of book you can and SHOULD go back to frequently ... "Yea" daily. If the antiquated language of the King James Version leaves you scratching thy head pick up the New American Standard Version.

Even if you're not a "believer" you should be familiar with the Bible and the accounts therein. Remember in the film "Erin Brochovich" Julia Roberts referred to "David and What's His Name"? If she had even a cursory knowledge of the Bible the name "Goliath" would've rolled right off of her tongue. Then there is "Daniel in the lion's den", "the walls of Jericho", Jonah, the parting of the Red Sea -- all kinds of references you hear in normal, everyday conversations. And let's not forget "doubting Thomas", Judas' betrayal, the loaves and the fishes. If nothing else, a knowledge of the Bible will make revival presentations of "Godspell" and "Jesus Christ Superstar" more meaningful.

Anyway, I highly recommend buying a copy of the Bible and reading it -- even meditating on it daily. But maybe not this huge lectern version. Amazon has many other choices.

May the Author of the Book bless you big time.
