Essential Word On The Street
$17.99
Rob Lacey’s”dangerously real” retelling of Scripture vividly demonstrates that the Bible is packed full of stories/poems/images that resonate with the big issues of today. This fresh paraphrase with running commentary brings the text alive: Bible stories are retold as mini-blockbusters; psalms as song lyrics; epistles as email; Revelation as virtual reality. Out with the stale religious terms, this is a “Bible”that talks today’s language–gritty, earthy, witty. Enough of starting at Genesis with good intentions but getting lost in Leviticus. Lacey succeeds in revitalizing a classic work by focusing on the big picture: fast-forwarding through the”slow-moving”bits with pace, passion and energy to make the Bible a page-turner. What’s more,Lacey’saward-winning tour de force was created during a remarkable personal journey through terminal cancer: the stuff Bible stories are make of. This life-experience injectsLacey’stake on Scripture with authenticity and authority-resonating with Bible characters who also wrestled with the big questions. This is not the Bible (with a capital B), but it might just get you reaching for one!

Standard Bible
$33.50Add to cartThe “New Revised Standard Version” is the “standard” translation used by mainline Protestant churches, Orthodox churches, and by many Catholics. The NRSV debuted in 1989 and is owned by the National Council of Churches, which is the leading force for ecumenical cooperation among Christians in the United States representing thirty-five denominations with forty-five million members in more than 100,000 churches across the country. They have chosen HarperCollins to be the exclusive licensor of the translation for the world (nonexclusively in the UK).
The “New Revised Standard Version” is recognized in scholarly circles as the most accurate translation into English of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. In the tradition of its predecessors, the King James Version and the Revised Standard Version, the NRSV was designed to be the “standard” version for English-speaking people across all denominations, which in many ways it has become. None of the new, more sectarian translations have approached its standards of elegance and accuracy.
