The NET Bible Full Notes Edition includes over 60,000 translators’ notes explaining the translation decisions.
We all have our favorite Bible translation. It may change over time, depending on what we were looking for in our Bible study.
When we first read the Bible, we want something that’s simple and easy to understand. NLT is a popular choice. If our pastor uses a particular version, we may want to use it so it’s easier to follow along. As we grow, we may study different versions to see which is most accurage.
The New English Translation (NET) is a new, complete translation of the Bible into English. It’s clear, readable, elegant, and accurate. It’s designed to give the big picture.
The NET Bible Full Notes Edition
The NET Bible Full Notes Edition is for those who want to delve into the translation. It’s a full Bible with notes explaining each translation decision, so you can see for yourself the thought that went behind each word choice.
It’s an interesting concept. On some pages, the notes are minimal, much like you’d find with any study Bible. On most pages, however, the notes dominate. The scripture itself may constitute a fourth of the page, while the notes make up the rest.
This is not a beginner’s Bible. It’s a Bible for scholars who love studying language and want to better understand the original language. It’s perfect for someone who wants to dig deep and travel on rabbit trails of learning. It’s not the Bible to carry with you to church, but rather one to set on your shelf and refer to as needed. The NET Bible Full Notes Edition is unlike any other Bible I’ve ever seen.
