This is a helpful work, especially for the pastor, Bible teacher, or student who needs some help with translation.

Customer Reviews

no good for spiritual reflection
shoddy binding--it feels cheap, like a textbook. there's fake marble pattern on the cover. I knew the moment I picked it up that there was no chance. I sent it back to Amazon.

Very Good Bible (Old Testament Only Though)
Hi everyone who is reading this review, if you want to buy this Bible then go ahead(if you can read both english and hebrew ofcourse) Well I can and for me the english and Hebrew is pretty easy to read (neatly set out) some may think the font is a bit small but not me personally, if the font was any bigger the book would have to be bigger and it's already a pretty big book! :) When I was buying it, I thought that it was the full Bible, but it's not. It's just the Old Testament. But that's OK. It'll take me a while to finish this one before I look for a New Testament (Hebrew-English Parallel). Anyway, great Book with 1883 pages total, not 1250 as Amazon has displayed :)

fast delivery and useful item
As a translator of Hebrew poetry and a fiction writer who draws upon Biblical imagery, I found this item very helpful. Having the Hebrew and English texts side by side in an easy to read format was tremendously useful and much more user-friendly than other versions. For a deeper reading, I suggest pairing this with The New Oxford Annotated Bible because the Parallel Bible does not have real commentary.
