Book Synopsis



Seeking to be faithful to the original languages, Priests for Equality have sought new and non-sexist ways to express the same ancient truths. The Inclusive Bible is a fresh, dynamic translation into modern English, carefully crafted to let the power and poetry of the language shine forth-particularly when read aloud-giving it an immediacy and intimacy rarely found in traditional translations of the Bible.



Review Quotes




Praise for the translation by Priests for Equality: These translations . . . are as poetic as they are inclusive, as lyrical as they are faithful.

Although this Bible is certainly an inclusive-language translation, it is also much more: It is a re-imagining of the Scriptures and our relationship to them. Not merely replacing male pronouns, the translators have rethought what kind of language has built barriers between the text and its readers. Seeking to be faithful to the original languages, they have sought new and nonsexist ways to express the same ancient truths. The Inclusive Bible is a fresh dynamic translation of the bible into modern English, carefully crafted to let the power and poetry of the language shine forth, particularly when read aloud, giving it an immediacy and intimacy rarely found in traditional translations.


Article mentions book in F.Y.I. section.

Intended to free the text . . . from sexist language, gender bias, and social stereotyping [and] to allow for a full expression of contemporary spiritual struggles and changing social roles. Created with a deep respect for, and scholarly reliance on, original Hebrew and Greek texts, this translation transcends a mere substitution of pronouns and avoids hewing to any 'politically correct' line. Rather, it seeks to open the language of Scripture to interpretation and reflection by those persons, be they women or men, who wish to explore how the [Bible] can guide and inform their spiritual development or renew their faith.

The present volume heralds the completion of a momentous work. This version follows the order of the Roman Catholic canon, which includes the deuterocanonical books.

The text is accessible and relevant to contemporary readers, and this reviewer found the inclusive language invitingly nonobvious.

This version of scripture is an important book. It raises in stark form the question of how Christians are to use as foundational a scripture that is fundamentally sexist and hierarchical. I encourage the use of this version for personal Bible reading, as one central version for adult Bible study, and, perhaps most importantly, for use at times in public worship.
