The Plain English Bible

Description

This collection of selected passages is a mixed bag; but so of course, is the Bible. The widely varied topics covered in the Plain English Bible range from ‘Forbidden fruit’ (Genesis); ‘A charter for slaves’ (Deuteronomy); ‘Saved from death’ (Psalms); to ‘Desperate measure’ (Mark); ‘Never take no for an answer’ (Luke); and ‘The new creation’ (Revelation). The pieces translated by H. J. Richards represent a lifetime of studying the Scriptures both as a student and teacher. His writing reflects the diverse emotions and facets of humanity revealed in the Bible, and opens the Scriptures up, making them accessible to all ages.
