CEB Common English Bible Compact Thin Red DecoTone with Cros - Softcover

The Common English Bible, likely the largest cross-denominational translation project in recent memory, unites Baptist, Catholic, Evangelical, United Methodist, and numerous other faith traditions in a joint effort to create a complete but broadly accessible Bible for the 21st century. No single translation, despite the breadth of this committee's reach, is likely to please all, but this sincere and diligent effort goes far toward the creation of a plain-English version that, without falling into folksiness or false hipsterism, can be read and understood by a range of ages, educational backgrounds, and aptitudes.--Library Journal (03/01/2011)

Fitting well into a purse, messenger bag, or tote, this new Compact Thin is easy-to-hold and features a mossy green DecoTone cover with a burnished cross and scroll work. Most importantly, readability was not sacrificed; the single-column setting makes the reading experience novel-like, which matches well the CEB's tone and vocabulary. The type size of the Compact Thin line was increased by a point to add to the ease of reading.
