Book Reviews of Torah/Pocket Edition
Book Review: Probably the best available translation
Summary: 5 Stars
This excellent translation breaks completely away from the "Bible English" epitomised by the King James version. It is written in easy to understand, modern English but unlike say the "Good News" version it brings out the full meaning without oversimplification. Orlinsky is one of the greatest ever Bible translators - he was also involved with two other major translations, the RSV and the NRSV. No Bible translation will ever satisfy everyone, and it would not be difficult to find a few places where I would have translated differently, but on balance this translation is the best available. (Of course, this volume only covers the Pentateuch, and even the complete version only covers the Old Testament.)
