The Message
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS:
- Includes passage headings, paragraph and poetry indentations, italic words
DESCRIPTION
Many people assume that a book about a holy God should sound elevated, stately, and ceremonial. If this is how you’ve always viewed the Bible, you’re about to make a surprising discovery. The Message brings the life-changing power of the New Testament, the vibrant passion of the Psalms, and the rich, practical wisdom of Proverbs into easy-to-read modern language that echoes the rhythm and idioms of the original Greek and Hebrew.Written in the same kind of language you’d use to talk with friends, write a letter, or discuss politics, The Message preserves the authentic, earthy flavor and the expressive character of the Bible’s best-loved books. Whether you’ve been reading the Bible for years or are exploring it for the first time, The Message will startle and surprise you. And it will allow you to experience firsthand the same power and directness that motivated its original readers to change the course of history so many centuries ago.
Eugene Peterson, translator and editor, set out to give us that word in language we use every day, a reading Bible that would enable the Word to penetrate our hearts and minds, transforming us day by day into the person God desires us to become. Features:
- Written in clear, direct language that brings the Bible to life
- Covers all 66 books of the Bible
- A paraphrase from the original Hebrew and Greek languages
Reina Valera 1960 Biblia
La mayoría del mundo hispano usa la Reina Valera 1960. Es una Biblia que fue traducida antes del Rey Jaime (King James Version), y los traductores del Rey Jaime hicieron referencia a la Reina Valeria en hacer su obra en inglés.
The New King James Bible (NKJV)
The New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the “Authorized Version.” Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better “readability.” It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the “Western” or “Byzantine” manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study.
Commissioned in 1975 by Thomas Nelson Publishers, 130 respected Bible scholars, church leaders, and lay Christians worked for seven years to create a completely modern edition of the King James Version that would continue the classic tradition of the original King James. With unyielding faithfulness to the original Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts, the translators applied the most recent research in archaeology, linguistics, and textual studies. The resulting work provides today’s Bible reader with an accurate and modern translation of the Scriptures with the stylistic beauty and memorable quality of the King James.
Neue Genfer Übersetzung (NGU)
Ja! Schon wieder eine neue Bibelübersetzung. Vielleicht fragen Sie sich, ob wir wirklich wissen, was wir tun. Da können wir Sie beruhigen. Seit bereits 15 Jahren sind wir davon überzeugt, dass wir genau das Richtige tun. In den Jahren 2000 und 2003 erschienen erste Teilausgaben des Neuen Testaments der NGÜ und wir haben seitdem viele begeisterte Menschen kennen gelernt, die uns bestätigt haben, dass unsere Arbeit richtig ist.
Andere Übersetzungen sind oft schwerer verständlich, da sie entweder eine eher altertümliche Sprache verwenden oder eine sehr moderne Sprache benutzen, inhaltlich aber relativ weit vom Originaltext entfernt sind. Wir wollen, dass Sie die Botschaft der Bibel besser verstehen können. Deswegen ist es uns wichtig, so urtexttreu wie möglich zu sein, ohne die Verständlichkeit zu vernachlässigen.
Mit der NGÜ können Sie nun das gesamte Neue Testament in der Sprache von heute lesen. Leicht verständlich und lesefreundlich gestaltet. Höchste inhaltliche und sachliche Genauigkeit erschließen Ihnen neue Dimensionen bei der Lektüre. Entdecken Sie das Neue Testament ganz neu!

An Interpretive Lexicon of New Testament Greek
DESCRIPTION
Book Summary
This interpretive lexicon is a Greek language resource that is intended to help students and translators to easily and quickly determine the range of translation possibilities for a wide variety of the smallest and most difficult words in the Greek New Testament to translate
About the Book
Save considerable time in translating and exegesis of the Greek New Testament text.
This Lexicon has a very specific and important purpose: to make the process of New Testament interpretation easier and more accurate by providing a comprehensive yet concise interpretation of Greek words that determine logical relationships between statements or clauses.
These words (prepositions, adverbs, particles, relative pronouns, conjunctions and other connectors) are essential to revealing and supporting the main ideas in the text and are especially useful for interpreting logical arguments, such as those found in the epistles.
While not exhaustive, this Interpretive Lexicon lists the vast majority of Greek connecting words, especially those that are notorious for being some of the most difficult words to translate.
Features include:
- Concise definitions for quick analysis.
- Examples of where the word is found in Scripture.
- Page references to several major lexical resources for further translation options and nuances.
- Interpretation of the broader categories of each word (for example: locative (in, among, on), means-end (with, by), grounds (because, on account of), temporal (while, at), and so on.
The interpretive feature of the book–evaluating the word’s function in discourse–is tremendously helpful for the exegetical process, allowing the translator to closely follow the logical flow of the text with greater efficiency. This Interpretive Lexicon is a valuable handbook for student, pastor, and scholar alike.

Hebrew for Reading Comprehension
Hebrew for Reading Comprehension is a first year Biblical Hebrew grammar which is designed to promote reading comprehension and translation precision while reducing the confusion of traditional grammars. Two major features which distinguish this from other grammars are a tremendous reduction of emphasis on vowel pointing and a paradigm-less approach to teaching verbs.
This Grammar’s Differences
- The end goal is always kept in mind: reading comprehension and translation precision.
- Vowel pointing is not emphasized. Students learn to read unpointed and pointed Hebrew from the beginning. Exercises have both pointed and unpointed Hebrew.
- Verbs and verbless clauses (i.e., sentences) are introduced at the very beginning so that the student feels like they are learning language as language, not as lists.
- There is an almost complete lack of verb paradigms. Rather, verbs are introduced in the third person (all tenses/aspects), then the second person, then the first.
- Students do not have to be trained linguists in order to utilize the textbook. Instead, the book includes reviews of basic grammatical terminology and explanations of other important terms.
- Some traditional (confusing) linguistic terminology is avoided.
- Here is a chart which compares this grammar with others. Click here to download a .pdf file.
Philosophy of the Grammar
The following essays describe the philosophy underlying the grammar.These were both presented at Central States Society of Biblical Literature meetings.

Twenty-first Century Biblical Commentary: The Books of 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon: Goals to Godliness
DESCRIPTION
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY TO BE MORE LIKE CHRIST?
The key to achieving success in anything is to set reasonable goals and strive to meet them. The difficulty in striving to be like Christ is that we never ca be like Him-not perfectly, not until we are made new in His image in heaven. Yet, the fact that we cannot achieve perfection should never top us from anything good. So, the real question is, how is good is good enough? Any Christian who thinks he or she has nothing more to achieve in godliness and personal holiness is utterly deceived.
These books (especially 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus) are often referred to as the “Pastoral Epistles.” The name is certainly appropriate since these books provide the the most thorough statement of church government found anywhere in the New Testament . Paul’s combination of personal advice and apostolic injunction has set the pattern for church government for the past twenty-one centuries.
Yes these books are so much more than official letters on church policy. American scholar Homer Kent Jr. made a career out of studying these important letters in detail. He summed up his opinion of them, saying, “Not only is the content rich in doctrinal and practical discussion, so pertinent to the Christian life, but the historical, geographical, and personal notices make the letters colorful and intensely human.”
Charles Ray’s commentary is unique in that he emphasizes the personal, practical results Paul wanted to encourage every Christian to strive for in their daily walk. Here the reader will be challenged to see the goals Paul had in mind, and to incorporate them in his or her own life.

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
Presenting the Word of God as a unified Jewish book, the Complete Jewish Bible is a translation for Jews and non-Jews alike. It connects Jews with the Jewishness of the Messiah, and non-Jews with their Jewish roots. Names and key terms are returned to their original Hebrew and presented in easy-to-understand transliterations, enabling the reader to say them the way Yeshua (Jesus) did! For readers familiar with the Jewish New Testament, the Complete Jewish Bible is a welcome sight!
The CJB is a translation of the Bible into English by Dr. David H. Stern. It consists of Dr. Stern’s revised translation of the Old Testament (Tanakh) plus his original Jewish New Testament (B’rit Hadashah) translation in one volume. It was published in its entirety in 1998 by Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc.
The Old Testament translation is a paraphrase of the public domain 1917 Jewish Publication Society version. The New Testament section is Dr. Stern’s original translation from the ancient Greek.
Dr. Stern’s purpose for producing the Complete Jewish Bible was “to restore God’s Word to its original Jewish context and culture as well as be in easily read modern English.”
The CJB follows the order and the names of the Old Testament books in the Jewish Bible, rather than those of typical Christian Bibles. It uses Hebrew names for people and places, such as Eliyahu for “Elijah”, and Sha’ul for “Saul.” The work also incorporates Hebrew and Yiddish expressions, such as matzah for “unleavened bread” and mikveh for “ritual immersion pool”.
Elberfelder Bibel 2006 R. Brockhaus Verlag Wuppertal
Es ist die erneut durchgesehene Ausgabe der revidierten Elberfelder Bibel unter Berücksichtigung der neuen Rechtschreibung.
Der SCM R.Brockhaus Verlag wirbt für diese Bibelübersetzung mit den folgenden Worten:
„Die Elberfelder Bibel gehört zu den führenden deutschen Bibelübersetzungen“.
Der Name geht auf Elberfeld zurück, den heutigen Stadtteil Wuppertals, wo ein großer Teil der Übersetzungsarbeit geleistet wurde.
Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, eine Übersetzung der ältesten Handschriften der biblischen Schriften vorzulegen, die möglichst unverfälscht deren Aussagegehalte wiedergibt und dabei möglichst wenig theologische Interpretation von außen an die Schriften heranträgt.
In ihrem Vorwort schreiben der R. Brockhaus Verlag Wuppertal und die Christliche Verlagsgesellschaft mbH Dillenburg:
„Wir wünschen uns, dass die Elberfelder Bibel 2006 allen Lesern zum Segen wird und dass sie weiterhin wichtige Impulse für das geistliche Leben der Christen im deutschsprachigen Raum liefern kann.“
New Revised Standard Version Bible
Removed from publication per “Riggin Rights Request – publisher”
The New Revised Standard Version of the Bible (NRSV) was published in 1989. It’s goal was to appeal to all religions and religious groups. The translation committee was made up of thirty translators from every Protestant denomination, the Roman Catholic as well as Greek orthodox church, and a Jewish scholar as well. It typically comes in a version that includes the Apocrypha (but our version for theWord does not have the Apocrypha, but is the standard edition without the Deuterocanonical books).
Revised Standard Version Bible
Removed from publication per “Riggin Rights Request – publisher”
The Revised Standard Version of the New Testament purported to be a revision of the American Standard Version. It is akin to Moffat’s Bible Translation in a lot of ways.

Twenty-First Century Biblical Commentary Series: Book of Revelation: Unlocking the Future
DESCRIPTION
WILL THE HUMAN RACE SURVIVE IN THE FUTURE?
EVERYONE IS CURIOUS ABOUT THE FUTURE. There is something in human nature that wants to know what is going to happen next. God speaks to the need in our lives by revealing the future before it happens. That process is called a prophecy of future events. This book is a study of the prophecies in the book of Revelation.
The book of Revelation is the grand and noble conclusion to the Bible. It captives our attention, stirs our imagination, and points us to our glorious future destiny. It shows the living relationship between the risen Christ and His Bride, the Church. It also records the final days of this world and reveals the glorious new world yet to come. The book of Revelation gives us hope for the future when God will make “all things new” (Rev.21:5.
Dr.Hindson simplifies the message of the Revelation so that you can easily understand it for yourself. He surveys the general content of this captivating book of prophecy with a view to keeping the big picture in mind, rather than getting lost in all the details. His approach is to keep the study focused on the key issues in each chapter.
The Book of Revelation has been called the epilogue of the unfolding drama of redemption. It’s God’s road map to help us understand where human history is going. In the biblical record, human history begins in a garden and ends in the eternal city. It begins with tragedy and ends with triumph. It begins with man’s failure and ends with his exaltation. In between, there stands a cross! and on that cross, Jesus Christ changed the course of human history forever.
The message of the Bible represents the timeless truth of God. As each generation seeks to apply that truth to its specific context it becomes necessary for an up-to-date commentary to be created just for them. The editors and authors of the Twenty-First Century Biblical Commentary” have endeavored to do just that. They represent conservative, evangelical, and dispensational scholarship at its best.

Twenty-first Century Biblical Commentary: The Gospel of John: Believe and Live
This book will provide an in-depth and comprehensive look at where Bible prophecy, both fulfilled and yet-to-come, fits into God’s plan for believers and the nation of Israel. This book will take you through a detailed look at the difficult subject of prophecy using the incredible wealth of research and study provided by Dr. Edward Hindson, Dr. Mal Couch, Dr. Elmer Towns, and Dr. Robert Lightner. Their ultimate goal is to teach and encourage believers to know their Bibles in a more clear way. A series of study questions at the end of each chapter is designed to enable the reader to study the details of the book, which they can use on their own or in a group setting.
The message of the book of John is underlined by the use of two key words, believe, used ninety-eight times and life, used thirty-six times. In The Gospel of John, Elmer Towns places a particular emphasis on these words. The Apostle John wrote with a twofold purpose—as noted in 20:31—to communicate Christ through His miracles and teachings so men might, first, believe that Jesus was indeed who He said He was, the Son of God; and second, they might have eternal life because of their belief.
