The Word

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!
