After a few things in my Early Christian OT Interpretation class, and reading through Scot McKnight’s blog ( link ), i decided to get a new Bible with a gift card i got for Christmas. Well, today i finally got it. So far it looks very nice and “academic” while still being fairly conteporary in the notes. Of course, because it’s an NRSV translation, the actual text isn’t as polished. It’s got contributions from a number of people over at Allelon: Richard Foster (author of Celebration of Disciple), Dallas Willard (author of The Divine Conspiracy), Walter Brueggemann, and Eugene Peterson (author of The Message translation), along with a number of professors from all over (Wheaton College, Baylor U, Denver Seminary, Princeton Seminary, U Michigan, Columbia Seminary, and a couple of others).
Oh, and this version includes the apocrypha/deuterocanonical books as well.
