Bijbel+ or BGT Jongerenbijbel: which explanation are you looking for?

THE SHORT ANSWER

View Bijbel+ if you are looking for the complete BGT with an initial information guide and a short reading schedule. Compare the BGT Jongerenbijbel if you want a publication for young people with more personal processing. Choose the extra material you actually use.

The BGT is the joint starting point

The language of the Bible and the explanation in a publication are two separate choices. If the BGT is pleasant to read, you do not have to choose a translation again because you want different guidance. Be sure to look at the inside of the specific edition: the name Youth Bible does not tell you how much explanation each page contains.

What does the Bijbel+ info guide do?

The Bijbel+ · BGT addresses basic questions about the structure, background and reading of the Bible. The 21-day schedule can help you choose your first reading spots. Think of this as orientation. It is not an extensive commentary on each verse.

What help does the young person want?

Place an information page and a processing page next to each other. Does the reader first want to know what a Bible book is about, or rather discuss questions based on a passage? The BGT Jongerenbijbel is an alternative to assess that second use. The most beautiful cover does not answer that user question.

Do not make a schedule an entry requirement

You can read the information guide without completing the schedule. Conversely, you can read the Bible text and save the extra pages for later. For a gift, a specific question is more useful than a label: do you want an explanation to get started, or material to discuss with others?
