Common English Bible 2011

On Tuesday I received a printed copy of the entire New Testament out of the new Common English Bible (or CEB) that is due out in 2011.

I was pleased to see these names on the list of translators: John J. Collins, David deSilva, Beverly Gaventa, Joel Green, Christopher B. Hays, Richard Hays, Luke Timothy Johnson, and Rob Wall.

There are some great Lucan scholars here!

Though I doubt they will take any suggestion I make into consideration, I do look forward to reading it and making comments.

I'll probably read Luke-Acts in its entirety. Maybe 1 Corinthians, John and the Apocalypse as well.

I'll read Matthew's Sermon on the Mount. And I'll probably read choice passages in Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, Hebrews, and the Pastorals.

...

Man! There are a lot of footnotes to 1 Timothy 2!
