Brown Leathersoft

I enjoy N.T. Wright's courses through Admirato and was very happy to see his fresh translation of the new testament on sale through Amazon. It is more concise and flows easier than many other translations and is a light weight book, beautiful leather binding - would make a wonderful gift for a mature Christian or a new believer. Highly recommend.

Good thought for thought translation. Not a paraphrase translation. Ashamed there is not an old testament translation. Type font used is comfy to read.

Fresh language! Changed my opinion on some verses.

So glad I got this to use for additional Bible interpretation....NT Wright is a well known theologian.

I like the Zondervan brown leathersoft cover, similar feel to the Zondervan Greek NT Readers edition. It just feels nice to hold in your hand, lays open without work. The internals are all gorgeous, maps, introductions, typeface, cool features like perpendicular printing of the reference in the outer margins. This is a unique product, I'm glad I have it. The translation itself is fresh, a little British in the NT Wright idiom just because I'm used to his voice and his Greek translation on youtube. I would highly recommend this to anyone - it's going to be well understood by anyone.

N. T. Wright's translation is refreshing, clarifying many points about the New Testament message. I know Bishop Wright's initials don't stand for "New Testament," but they really should.

N.T. Wright is amongst the premier New Testament scholars. He can be controversial at times but none the less, he deserves his place in New Testament scholarship. His translation may not be for every one, but for me personally it was a very refreshing translation. Probably best for those that do not have a good understanding of new testament theology. It is very readable. I'm sorry to say that after reading several more books I have to change my review from 5 stars to 1 star. Reason: the translation almost makes no sense. It is very disjointed and just hiccups along to a very confusing read. The translation just makes no sense. If you have read any of the mainstream translations: KJV, NASB, ESV, ESV, etc., even the poorly reviewed Message bible makes more sense than this translation. Wright wanted a more modern readable version, he did not achieve it.

A wonderful new translation that brings the words to life. It will make you stop and think and want to dig deeper.

I really love the new translation , it is indeed marvelous. I am a little disappointed, because 20odd pages (281 to 296) are missing, that is the beginning of Romans including the whole of chapter 8. This is especially sad, because Wright is such an expert on Romans…
