I am deeply saddened. I thought that the 1970 NAB really shined in these, why did they have to meddle with every single line?

It's got a plainspoken quality. Ok, fine by me. But the thing that drives me nuts is that the USCCB owns it and makes money from it! I have worked with numerous publishers and the cost of using even snippets of the NAB is astronomical--esp. when compared to the free or near-free other versions. I don't think Jesus would charge for the gospel. And I don't mean the paper, effort in publishing, etc....I mean the words themselves. It's pretty disgusting in my book.<br /><br />All the more reason to learn Hebrew and Greek. :)The Ironic Catholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990289461877567408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5094967570243723764.post-17953182011370729912011-01-07T14:33:33.456-06:002011-01-07T14:33:33.456-06:00The NAB translation is pretty awful.
