I rejoice that this long-awaited translation of the Bible is finally completed. It offers us a new opportunity to read the Scriptures in a fresh and surprisingly vivid language. This translation counts among the reasons why I see the Bible reading as a never ending adventure.

While this translation strives for accuracy, it is at the same time readable, smooth, and fresh. It is written in a good Czech – which is still rather exceptional among our Bible versions. Simply and shortly, I would dare to say that Bible21 is currently the best Czech translation available.

This translation is a useful tool for a serious Bible study. At the same time, it is suitable for personal meditation, prayer, and sharing with other people, because its language is easy to understand. I believe that Bible21 will encourage both religious and secular readers to get acquainted with the Word of God.

The text is written in a smooth, perhaps even too contemporary, Czech. It is a very bold translation – especially in comparison to the older one. Without a doubt, it is going to be very beneficial.

Bible21 has a potential to reach people who would otherwise not choose to read the Good Book. It is easy to understand for people of all age categories.
