Nederlandse Concordante Vertaling
Description:
Het kostbaarste bezit van een gelovige is zijn Bijbel. Daarin is Gods woord geopenbaard. Het corrigeert ons, geeft richting, voedt ons op en maakt ons klaar om in Gods dienst te staan 2Tim 3:16,17. Er is tegenwoordig geen tekort aan uitspraken van mensen te vinden, maar vergeleken met Gods woord zijn ze zonder waarde.
Veel moderne vertalingen proberen de betekenis van de oude Griekse en Hebreeuwse teksten over te zetten in begrijpelijk Nederlands. Zij overbruggen de kloof in tijd en taalgebruik door niet altijd woorden letterlijk over te zetten, maar waar iets niet direct duidelijk zal zijn voor de gemiddelde Nederlander, te zoeken naar een andere manier om dezelfde betekenis of gedachte uit te drukken.
Dit maakt zulke vertalingen goed leesbaar, maar het heeft ook nadelen. De vertaler moet dan namelijk eerst de betekenis van de tekst achterhalen, om die vervolgens over te zetten naar eenzelfde Nederlandse manier van uitdrukken. Soms zijn er bijvoorbeeld meerdere uitleggingen mogelijk voor een vers, waarvan dan één gekozen moet worden. Ook zullen dan onherroepelijk de overtuigingen van de vertaler of heersende traditie in de tekst terecht komen. Dan is het voor de lezer niet meer mogelijk om in zijn Bijbelvertaling te ontdekken wat er eigenlijk staat of kritisch de keuzes van de vertalers of de heersende overtuiging te onderzoeken.

Die Bybel 2020-vertaling
DESCRIPTION
DIE BYBEL 2020-VERTALING: HOOFLETTERUITGAWE
Hierdie bronteksgeoriënteerde direkte vertaling streef daarna om só te vertaal asof die Bybelskrywers in hulle eie woorde van duisende jare gelede self aan die woord gestel word in vloeiende, idiomatiese Afrikaans. Geskik vir voorlesing en gebruik in eredienste, asook vir kategese, Bybelstudie en persoonlike gebruik.
Omdat die Bybelgenootskap van Suid-Afrika (BSA) die toepassing van die Ou Testamentiese tekste in die Nuwe Testament op Jesus as die Christus aanvaar, is daar besluit om in sodanige tekste met behulp van voetnote in die Ou en Nuwe Testament oor en weer deur middel van kruisverwysings hierna te verwys.
Na aanleiding van gesprekke tussen die BSA en ’n aantal kerke asook ’n besluit van die Kerklike Advieskomitee: Die Bybel in Afrikaans, het die BSA die betrokke kerke genooi om verteenwoordigers te benoem vir ’n werkkomitee om hom hieroor te adviseer. Die komitee se advies was dat hoofletters in Ou Testamentiese tekste wat in die 1933/1953-vertaling met hoofletters geskryf is, so behou word, asook Ou Testamentiese tekste wat deur skrywers in die Nuwe Testament op Jesus as die Christus van toepassing gemaak word. Die BSA het hierdie advies aanvaar, en die vertaling kom verder in alle opsigte ooreen met die ander uitgawes.
Die Werkkomitee het bestaan uit verteenwoordigers van die Afrikaanse Baptiste Kerk, die Afrikaanse Protestantse Kerk, die Apostoliese Geloofsending van Suid-Afrika, die Pinkster Protestantse Kerk, die Volle Evangelie Kerk van God in Suidelike Afrika, met as waarnemers die Vrye Gereformeerde Kerke in Suid-Afrika.

A Short Guide to the Pronunciation of New Testament Greek
DESCRIPTION
What did the apostles’ Greek sound like?
How should New Testament Greek be pronounced in our classrooms? Often students are taught Erasmian pronunciation, which does not even reproduce Erasmus’s own pronunciation faithfully, let alone that of the New Testament authors. But if we want to process the language of the New Testament the same way its original authors and readers did, we should use their pronunciation. In his new book, Benjamin Kantor breaks a path toward an authentic pronunciation of Koine Greek at the time of the New Testament, seeking to improve students’ reading proficiency.
A Short Guide to the Pronunciation of New Testament Greek distills Kantor’s new monograph, The Pronunciation of New Testament Greek, with an eye toward practical instruction. The first comprehensive phonological and orthographic study of Judeo-Palestinian Koine Greek, The Pronunciation of New Testament Greek surveys thousands of inscriptions and papyri to determine historical pronunciation. A Short Guide gives students an overview of the basics of phonology before explaining the pronunciation of each Greek letter and phoneme individually. Perfect for classroom use, this guide explains Kantor’s cutting-edge research accessibly and includes sample texts for reading practice.

Good News Translation in Today’s English Version with Apocrypha (GNT)
The GNT (also known as Today’s English Version or Good News Bible) was one of the first meaning-based (or functional equivalent) translations of the Bible into English. It was originally published in 1976, then it was revised in 1992. The GNT presents the message of the Bible in a level of English that is common to most of the English-speaking world. The GNT is still used widely in youth Bible study groups and in less formal worship services.
A very contemporary translation that is designed to be easy to read for those who are not familiar with the Bible. Also known as the Good News Bible, this translation of the Bible follows a dynamic equivalence theory of translation. Published in 1966, revised in 1992.

Biblical Sufficiency Applied
Description
God-breathed. Profitable. These two words Paul conveys in 2 Timothy 3:16 to describe the word of God. That the Text is God-breathed attests to its authority, and that it is profitable attests to its sufficiency. The authority of Scripture has no limit for the believer – in its pages God demands complete submission of His children. Likewise the sufficiency of Scripture reaches to the farthest corners of the believer’s position and practice.
Paul describes the purpose of Scripture’s inspiration: “that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work” (2 Tim 3:17). God’s word is sufficient for the equipping of His people for the works He has planned for them (Eph 2:10). The divine prescriptions explain the believer’s course of action, oftentimes revealing the rationale for the action, and always pointing to the enablement needed and provided. In short, the true knowledge of Him provides everything pertaining to life and godliness (2 Pet 1:3).
As such, we can rely on Scripture in every area of life. We will find no topic out of bounds, and no subject so controversial as to be avoided or lacking illumination in the pages of the Bible. Biblical Sufficiency Applied is an effort on the part of its several contributors to consider certain areas of contemporary controversy in the light of Scripture. We hope and pray that God uses this work both to challenge and encourage the reader to seek the answers in Scripture, and to be confident in the Biblical record as sufficient for every aspect of the believer’s life.

A Hebrew Word for the Day, Key Words from the Old Testament
DESCRIPTION
Unearth the wealth of treasures “buried” in the original language of Scripture! Watson’s 365-day devotional helps those who don’t know Hebrew achieve greater understanding of the Old Testament. Each entry includes a brief word study, a practical application for daily living, and related verses for further exploration. Includes Scripture, English, Hebrew, and Strong’s numbering indexes. The original volume is 384 pages, softcover from AMG, however this is a digital resource for theWord Bible Software.
Publisher’s Description
The purpose of A Hebrew Word for the Day is to share the richness of the Hebrew language words used in the Old Testament and help make them practical in the reader’s Christian living. Simply because words matter, the words of the Bible matter most. And in a day when words don’t seem to mean much, the need for precision in Christian doctrine and practice has never been more critical.
For each day of the year, Watson presents a brief word study and then offers an application to make that particular Hebrew word become real for practical living. To aid reinforcement, each day’s devotion ends with Scriptures for study to apply the truth learned that day.
Doc Watson fulfills his desire of many years to provide daily devotions that not only contain deep spiritual truth, but also are easy to read and understand. In our day of Relativism, the absolutes of God’s Word (and words) are desperately needed. These brief devotionals will enrich the mind, stir the soul, and empower the life of God’s people.

English Standard Version 2016
DESCRIPTION
The Bible
This Book [is] the most valuable thing that this world affords. Here is Wisdom; this is the royal Law; these are the Iively Oracles of God. With these words the Moderator of the Church of Scotland hands a Bible to the new monarch in Britain’s coronation service. These words echo the King James Bible translators, who wrote in 1611, God’s sacred Word . . . is that inestimable treasure that excelleth all the riches of the earth. This assessment of the Bible is the motivating force behind the publication of the English Standard Version.
Translation Legacy
The English Standard Version (ESV) stands in the classic mainstream of English Bible translations over the past half-millennium. The fountainhead of that stream was William Tyndale’s New Testament of 1526; marking its course were the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971 (RSV). In that stream, faithfulness to the text and vigorous pursuit of precision were combined with simplicity, beauty, and dignity of expression. Our goal has been to carry forward this Iegacy for this generation and generations to come.
To this end each word and phrase in the ESV has been carefully weighed against the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, to ensure the fullest accuracy and clarity and to avoid under-translating or overlooking any nuance of the original text. The words and phrases themselves grow out of the Tyndale King James Iegacy, and most recently out of the RSV, with the 1971 RSV text providing the starting point for our work. Archaic Ianguage has been brought into Iine with current usage and significant corrections have been made in the translation of key texts. But throughout, our goal has been to retain the depth of meaning and enduring quality of Ianguage that have made their indelible mark on the English-speaking world and have defined the Iife and doctrine of its church over the Iast five centuries.

Description
Do you enjoy reading other people’s correspondence, especially the letters of famous people? This book explores two of the great Apostle Paul’s earliest epistles, those to the Thessalonian church. In them he bares his heart to reveal his love for those he led to Christ, and his concern for their welfare, as he provides instructions to new Christians. We also learn something of his travelling companions, his hopes and fears, his personal concerns, his passionate concern for the truth, and much about the Return of the Lord Jesus Christ. Read this book to learn how to live the Christian life, how to avoid false doctrine, and how the Thessalonians’ zeal and the Apostle’s teaching can be applied to your own life.
