If you have been blessed by the NIV, the NKJV, the ESV, etc., be prepared for another
fantastic modern translation that will enrich your understanding of scripture.
The New English Translation (NET/NET Bible from Bible.org) is a new high quality translation that even
the NIV and ESV publishers referenced while compiling their own study bibles and new translations!
The NET Bible is a wonderful translation, worthy of respect and useful for study. It is a free bible with quality that equals other modern translations that are not free. It stays true to the original text by being a transparent translation; it often gives you the reasons for the wording or points out alternative wording! The following reveals both official and unofficial information about the NET Bible that you may not have known:
Bible.org would probably give everyone free prints of the NET Bible if paper were free. Of course, paper isn't free. However, the internet makes paper obsolete! So they are giving it away online (http://bible.org/page.php?page_id=3086) (they even offer free PDFs so you can print your own, which is great for missions who want an inexpensive way to distribute bibles). Bible.org makes the scripture avalable for free to increase understanding of the Bible. Bible.org throws in some of their extensive study notes with the free NET Bible and makes the full set of study notes avalable at a modest price. That is why Touch Bible Free distributes the NET Bible for free and Touch Bible Loaded has all of the NET Bible notes for a small price. It is a great resource. (Even if you believe the KJV is the only correct translation, you'll still find the NET Bible useful as a study aid.) |
