 | Jonathon Jankovich, pastor and Bible teacher Nov 3, 2006 |
| The NASB/NIV Parallel Bible has been an excellent tool in my ministry, as most of my class members have either the NASB or the NIV translations. When I prepare sermons and lessons, it helps to have both side by side, so that I can note word variances and different sentence structures beforehand. I have had a few awkward moments when I firmly stated from one translation what the congregation's translation did not say! Hence, it is a great blessing to have the most popular translations together. The pages are a bit thin, so I would not recommend writing marginal notes in pen, as it is likely to bleed through badly. You will be surprised to find a compact concordance for each translation in the back! Small typeface might be the only knock on this Bible. | | | | Exactly what I expected Aug 19, 2006 |
| I am thoroughly satisfied with this bible. I am making a transition from the NIV to the NASB and this is perfect. My church (and the majority of those I have been to) use the NIV so I can take this to church and other groups and still have my NASB with me too! I like the extra space on every page and it lends itself well to notes. Those with bad eyes might not fare so well since the type is fairly small. However, it is not a very thick bible as a result. It is about the size of a standard single translation. | | |  | Genuine Leather with Large Print would be nicer.... Nov 28, 2005 |
Pros: These two versions are, in my opinion, the best two English versions of the Bible on the market--the NASB for close attention to the word-for-word aspect of the translation (like the KJV, but in modern English), and the NIV for still unsurpassed clarity without sacrificing accuracy. Having them side by side is a great help.
Cons: The text in this edition (and in the hardcover edition) is quite small. If you're under 30 maybe that's no big deal, but for some of us it is an issue. Also, look twice--this is BONDED leather; i.e., leather pieces stuck together with glue, and less valuable, durable, and comfortable to hold than 'genuine' leather. | | | | NASB / NIV Parallel Bible Sep 12, 2005 |
| Great bible, very helpful to have these translations side by side for teaching. | | | | A Pleasure to Use-- Feb 27, 2005 |
| Thanks to Zondervan for issuing this Bible! Like the prior reviewer, I think we should all read and study more than one translation. I primarily use the NAS translation and have since it came out. I really don't like the NIV translation, and remain surprised that it has proven so popular. And, no, I don't consider myself conservative at all, just accurate. Regardless, I bought this Bible for the ease of use with the most common translation alongside the one I prefer. I consult it often. It follows the same basic format as the 4-translation Zondervan that I own, only there are only two. This makes it a much smaller Bible, comparable to many regular-sized Bibles. I particularly appreciate this Bible for reading, though, because it isn't cluttered with lots of marginal notes or 'study aids'. It can just be read like one's favorite book. As usual, this Bible receives 4 stars instead of 5 because the construction quality is not the best, but is good. Legible type aids in reading, also. I'm glad I own it, and it is suitable in size to carry to church, unlike its big brother. | | | Write your own review about Updated NASB/NIV Parallel Bible
