Title: Most understandable version of the Bible
Review: There are many translations of the Bible, many in contemporary English. In my Bible study classes, we read from several translations including the updated version of this one - the New Living Bible (NLB.) I still prefer the paraphrases of this TLB vs. even the NLB or the Message. Verse numbers are preserved, unlike The Message. But I really like the fact that the author, Ken Taylor, expresses what the narrator of the original text was trying to say. At times, in comparison to the NLB, there are differences due to the influence of "bible scholars" referring back to ancient Greek or Aramaic texts. However, I still prefer Ken Taylor's interpretation.
