Apostolic Bible Polyglot Greek-English Interlinear

Posted on by WLue777

The Apostolic Bible Polyglot (ABP), originally published in 2003 is a Bible translation by Charles VanderPool.[1] The ABP is an English translation with a Greek interlinear gloss and is keyed to a concordance. The numbering system, called “AB-Strong’s”, is a modified version of Strong’s concordance, which was designed only to handle the traditional Hebrew Masoretic Text of the Old Testament, and the Greek text of the New Testament. Strong’s concordance doesn’t have numbering for the Greek O.T. The ABP utilizes a Greek Septuagint base for the O.T. and, therefore, required a modified system. The numbers and the Greek word appear immediately above the English translation instead of side-by-side, as is common in many interlinears.

Welcome to theWord Bibles!

This website is dedicated to Bible modules for the program theWord, e-Sword, and MySword. Each Bible will have a post dedicated to it, and over time I will be adding evaluations for each Bible. The individual Bibles will be added so that the post will have downloads for all three Bible programs (I am searching and converting them for all three programs).

To search on a specific Bible, use the search function at top right. To search by type of Bible, use the menu at right. Note that as I study these different Bibles, they may move from one category to another as I deem right. Personally I would only recommend Word-for-Word, and besides their translation theory, there are other considerations about using or not using a particular version.
