Description:

The goal of the Disciples’ Literal New Testament is to help all Bible readers better understand the New Testament from the original writers’ point of view. This is accomplished in two primary ways. First, the translation reflects the Greek forms, grammar, and sentence structure, rather than using elegant English like our standard translations. Second, the paragraphs are arranged to display the flow of thought in the Apostles’ minds as revealed in their Greek writings, rather than the artificial 460 year old chapter and verse structure we are used to seeing. The New Testament is opened up to English readers in a depth formerly available only to those who carefully studied their Greek New Testament. Used together with your standard Bible version, you will now have the best of both languages.

This is the companion volume to the 1025 page New Testament TransLine, which presents this same translation in outline format. First published by Zondervan and now by Wiph & Stock, it includes extensive notes on the meaning and usage of the words of the New Testament, notes that explain the meaning of a passage where needed, notes that list the different interpretations when the meaning is not clear, and notes on over 3000 textual variations in the Greek manuscripts that lie behind all English translations. Pastors and Bible students wanting more depth and detail will find it useful. A sample of this book can also be found on the website above.-thword.net
