    Not as Useful as it Could Have Been
  

*by D***L on Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2014*

Good general Bible helps in the front and back of the book. The CEV is in the Good News school of translation. My quibbles are with the special features relating to poverty and justice. (1) The relevant (?) passages are highlighted in orange in a kinda artistically casual way (ie, not always extending to the ends of the lines of the text) but there is no notation as to why specific verses were included. Some are prescriptive, some are descriptive and some are headscratchers as to their relevance. There is also no list of all the passages highlighted. A topical index would be very helpful. As it is, you flip through the pages, see a highlighted verse or passage and are left to work out its reason for inclusion. (2) The topic of violence isn't specifically addressed, which is odd since it so often accompanies and accomplishes injustice. The reason for the Noahic flood is violence, according to Genesis 6:11, 13, yet they are not highlighted. Matthew 26:52, where Jesus rebukes Peter for lashing out with his sword during Christ's arrest, is not highlighted. Nor is violence a topic addressed in The Core, the central booklet within a book, that discusses things like Women, Water, Abuse (sexual), etc. It's a pretty glaring omission. This is a good start but more work should have been done besides highlighting, insertion of a booklet and including multiple forwards by people involved with relief and social justice. It is best used as one tool among others in a multiweek Bible study series on such issues.

    Love it!
  

*by T***D on Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2013*

I cannot get enough of this Bible! If you are a Christian who feels your church (or even those who do not) is no longer embodying the true message of Jesus - caring for those struggling...this is your Bible! All verses pertaining to poverty and justice are highlighted in orange - basically looks as if someone went through your Bible and highlighted each of these texts. There is a section in the middle of Proverbs with devotionals/studies about different topics surrounding social justice issues. The cover is thick - stock paper like, with a folding page back into the Bible on the front and back (probably does not make visual sense until you have the Bible in person.I gave this gift to my Christian ethics professor who recommended me to law school - he loved it! I recently ordered 6 more to give to others.Well worth it!

    Good Reference
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2011*

The Poverty and Justice Bible is a fun reference with God's Words regarding the poor and ideas of justice marked in orange.  The center of the Bible has everyday ideas of how the individual might bring justice or help the poor in everyday life.  The Poverty and Justice Bible does not stay open by itself and has to be weighted by an object or another book.  The print is also quite small.  I do prefer a Bible where the binding allows the Bible to lie flat on a table or in my hands.  For those avid justice seekers, you can expect nearly the entire book of James to be marked in orange for its many passages on the underserved and downtrodden.
