There are many wonderful things I could say about The NET Bible, but the most important is this: The NET Bible is a Bible you can trust. The translation is clear, accurate, and powerful. And the notes, those wonderful notes! They bring to the layman scholarly insights and discussions that have up till now been accessible only to those trained in the biblical languages. If you are serious about studying Scripture, get a copy of The NET Bible.

Bringing instant access to the best research with just a few clicks, The NET Bible has truly brought a visionary form to a timeless function. It’s a great step in the Church's preparation for the next millennium.

This is an excellent tool, a model of conciseness. It should be useful for students, translators, and those preparing to teach or preach in the church.
—William R. Farmer, Emeritus Professor of New Testament at Southern Methodist University
This Bible is a triumph: a straightforward and accurate translation that is also elegant. The annotations are much fuller and more helpful than in other popular translations, and the production of a constantly-improving electronic text brings Bible reading and Bible study into the new millennium.

I'm reading through the NET Bible this year. This is my early impression. I like the translation. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a modern translation that is faithful to the original texts. At first I thought the notes might be distracting for simple reading purposes, but that has not been a problem. I like the paragraph format in any Bible I read, and the NET is no exception. I have found, though, that the chapter divisions are hard to recognize. I understand NET's position on this, but for reading certain chapters each day, it poses a bit of a problem. Perhaps put the chapter and first verse reference in bold.
