Spanish/English Parallel New Testament Psalms/Proverbs

The good: the bill is compact so you can carry it anywhere. The price is right.The bad: the print is very small so if you have any vision problems it will be difficult to read.

This Spanish/English parallel text combines all the advantages of providing a "crib" for the learner, with the added joy of reading a really excellent version of the material. The Spanish "version" of the Psalms in particular gives an insight into the problems and joys of translating. as King Alfred put it - translating "sometimes word for word, and sometimes sense for sense". It is a lovely Spanish version. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who either wants to learn and read some Spanish, or to a Biblical scholar who wants another version of the scriptures to get to grips with.

I really like the book, but is it an unwritten law that every parallel language Bible book has to be written in microscopic font? If you own a pair of eye glasses and are trying to learn English or Spanish, it is a great little book I suppose.

Nice to have both English and Spanish in one. Bought used and cover was understandably looking well used. Inside was not, however. Hopefully when I'm finished with it there will be significantly more use!I like a Bible with lots of margin space for notes, and unfortunately (like most Bibles), this one has next to no space on the margins. I realize that paper real estate costs money, but what God is a Bible without personal notes? Why Bible publishers can't encourage more personal study is an enigma to me.

I loved the concept of this NT and was really looking forward to receiving it. Unfortunately I had no idea that the type was so small. The only way I could read it for more then a few minutes without eyestrain would be to get a magnifying glass. Maybe if you are young with great vision it would be OK, but for the not so young / nearsighted crowd it just doesn't work. So it's a reference book only and I'll keep looking for a really usable bilingual NT.

This was purchased after having a group for a year and a half experience in Spanish and doing some bilingual devotions. Wonderful! The most common bible in Latin America is Reina Valera, which is written is older Spanish and can be difficult to read. However, this version was perfect. No vosotros, but also no crazy modern words that changed the meaning. Just current Latin American Spanish. What a clear way to get into worship without linguistical obsticles. Enjoy it!

Very much like this. I purchased the full bible, but the print is so small it is tiring. The print in the NT/Psalms/Proverbs is still small, but enough larger to make a big difference.Reading familiar passages in Spanish is a great way to absorb the language. I am thinking about recommending this to my friends who are learning English. I have noticed some verses do not track closely between the two languages, however, even though both are New International.

I have been studying Spanish since 3months before. I have selected this book as a reading material for Spanish. I think Bible is the best textbook for learning a foreign language as well as deepening our spirituality. I strongly recommend this book to any English speaker to learn Spanish and God's words simultaneously.

A first class publication.

Very good value for money - but I wonder if the Spanish punctuation (esp. the Spanish convention of exclamation and question marks) has been accidentally omitted by editors.

This is the closest New Testament to Orthodox version you can find and it's easy readable. Very good work..
