F.F. Bruce on the New English Bible

The following article is now available in PDF:

F.F. Bruce, "The New English Bible," Faith and Thought 92.1 (1961): 47-52.

Professor Bruce gives a cautious welcome to the (then) newly published New English Bible New Testament, concluding that the final test would be whether or not the "man in the street" could hear the "Word of God addressing itself to his heart and meeting his need" though it. I think that this would be a good test of any translation.
