The Readable Bible
Draw Closer to God. Understand His Word. Know His Plan.
Do you wish the Bible were easier to read?
You're not alone. Many people wish they read it more often. But let's face it. With page after page of plain text, the Bible is hard to read.
Until now.
The Readable Bible is Scripture the way it would look if the biblical writers had been sitting in front of a computer when God spoke through them.
The first of its kind (there hasn't been a cover-to-cover Bible formatting update in the last one hundred years), it's primarily a word-for-word translation that arranges the text in the easy-to-read formats of today's books. It's the best of both worlds: accurate yet understandable.
Key Features for Easy Reading:
Instead of plain text...
- Genealogies are shown as family trees; the line of Jesus is highlighted.
- Census numbers are in tables.
- Law code is in outline format as in modern law books.
- Poetry and theological passages are presented in cascading text.
- Text digressions are separated by callouts, so readers can easily see where they begin and end.
Callouts and Footnotes
- Define words used in the Bible but not everyday life.
- Define words that are common, but commonly misunderstood.
- Provide insights into ancient culture and historical context.
- Provide a literal translation whenever a thought-for-thought translation is given.
Helpful Study Aids in Every Edition
