The result of eight years of labor is The Word: A Reader’s Translation of the New Testament. This translation contains no chapter or verse breaks; reading Acts is like reading a novel! And Josh has taken great pains to preserve/recreate the tone and style of the original author (e.g., Luke sounds polished and sophisticated; Peter is more common; John is simple, yet abstract).

Description

Why is it so hard to sit down and read my Bible? If you have asked yourself that question, you aren’t alone. Through the years, many features have been added to the text of the New Testament to make study and reference more efficient, such as chapter and verse divisions, footnotes, and indexes. This new version of the New Testament aims to reacquaint us with the early format of these Holy Writings. Without the distractions of verse and chapter divisions, reading longer passages of the Bible is easy and enjoyable. Reading Acts is like reading a novel! And great pains were taken to preserve/recreate the tone and style of the original author. From book to book, the vocabulary changes. The length of sentences and the use of transition words between them change. Luke sounds polished and sophisticated; Peter is more common; John is simple but abstract. In the pages of The Word, you will get to know each of the New Testament authors as they give their eyewitness accounts of the gospel and early church!

    Josh is an Amazing young author, so talented and knowledgeable! For the last eight years, while raising a family with three little boys and working a full time job, he managed to write this book. Josh translated …. The Word: A Reader’s Translation of the New Testament ….. from the original Greek, word for word. This book has definitely helped me in my understanding of The New Testament.
