The Bible translated by Nicholas King

Description

Translated from the Greek Septuagint by outstanding scholar and Jesuit priest Nicholas King, this Bible aims to bring you as close as possible to the original biblical voices, in all their rawness and grandeur.

The text itself, and the reflective questions placed at intervals in the margins, invite you into an ancient world that still resonates with our contemporary culture.

Features • Includes deuterocanonical books in Septuagint order • Single-column layout with regular reflective questions and insights printed in the margins • Four maps included • Provides an immersive reading experience to bring fresh insights to the text, for those who are over-familiar and/or are looking for a version that is vibrant and sometimes startling. • A version that invigorates personal study, in contrast to the more formal ESV translation used liturgically in the Catholic Church.
