Samson:
Hi Decky,
It's interesting that you ask this, because I was asking Joe Hillsbororiver the same thing yesterday, it's Deja Vu, ;), just kidding.
I asked him, If I had to choose between Rotherhams, Concordant Literal, Youngs Literal
Translation or The Emphatic Diaglott by Benjamin Wilson, he suggested ROTHERHAMS with
a center concordance and footnotes at bottom.
Actually my Large Print New World Translation with Concordance, Appendix with Footnotes
would be alright if they had Age and Eonian instead of Everlasting or Forever in the New Testament. Also they put " All sorts of " at 1 Tim. 4:10 & 1 Tim. 2:3,4 instead of " all ". In the Old
Testament they render Ohlam " time indefinite ", which is acceptable. They have Hades,
Gehenna & Tartarus in the New Testament instead of Hell, Hell-fire.
So, other than the " All sorts of " and Everlasting, it's an okay Translation, but I'm tired of
seeing forever,everlasting and eternal and " All sorts of " so I'll probably look into purchasing
a ROTHERHAMS, as Joe suggested.
Kind Regards, Samson.

With a "center concordance"..........? I've looked online for this particular hard cover copy that includes the center, but haven't located one. The only I can find has the footnotes section, but no center reference.
If anyone could point me to a web address bookstore that has the Rotherham's with the center reference and the footnotes, I would certainly appreciate it.

I love my wide-margin NIV with center references. No commentary, beyond the standard NIV translators' footnotes. Plenty of room to write my own commentary and notes. The center references are exactly what Ray refers to in above. Did I say that I love it?

Hi Decky,
I have found Rotherham's Emphasized bIble and the Emphatic Diaglott to be both very useful to me, but I find the NCLT the easiest to read, chapter after chapter, it just flows nicely. However if it's a buget purchase I would go for the Rotherham's as it has the Old Testament in it of course. My wife has a Young's Literal Translation but to me it's difficult to get on with because it reads like a 1611KJV.
Hope that helps. I have heard through my brother-in-law that the concordant literal publishers are currently working on an Old Testament version, don't know if it's finished yet, but if its as good as CLNT then I'll be getting it. The site is below.

2Cr 3:3 [Forasmuch as ye are] manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
this one is a good one, but it is free, it has already been paid for, and if the life application bible has been watering those fleshy tables (last leg) it that would be a good one to purchase even if it does have cemetaries, i prefer the cheap award bibles (NLT) that way when i run across some that needs one it becomes thiers, with all the highlites, underlines and side notes,
