SYNOPSIS

A Translation of the Good News for Everyone

If the Bible cannot be understood by everyone, then it is not good news. But from the very first days of the church at Pentecost, the good news of Jesus was translated into languages of everyday people through the power of the Holy Spirit, spreading like wildfire to the ends of the earth. Many modern readers of the New Testament have grown overly familiar with the biblical text, losing sight of the wonder and breadth of its innovative ideas and world-changing teachings about the life and role of Jesus of Nazareth.

The New Testament for Everyone is an updated translation of the New Testament by renowned biblical scholar and author N.T. Wright, which builds upon on the work done in N. T. Wright’s The Kingdom New Testament. This newly typeset edition features slight translation revisions from N. T. Wright along with new book introductions – providing a fresh and dynamic translation of the New Testament for the next generation. The language used in this translation seeks to convey the meaning of the original Greek while also being accessible to the modern reader, making it a valuable resource for scholars, pastors, and laypeople alike.

Features:

• Complete text of the New Testament translated by N. T. Wright
• Preface and book introductions by N. T. Wright
• Dozens of maps throughout the text
• Smyth-sewn hardcover lies flat when open
• Type size: 11

REVIEW

Over the last couple of years, I have studied several of NT Wright’s other books. So when I had the opportunity to review The New Testament for Everyone, Third Edition, Hardcover: A Fresh Translation for Bible Gateway Blogger Grid, I jumped at the chance.

The language is clear and easy to understand. For those who like to make notes in the margins, you will be pleased to know that the wide margins leave plenty of room for doing so. The maps are well done with the “right amount” of detail. An added benefit is the glossary at the end of the book.

You can get a copy from The FaithGateway Store or on Amazon
