An Accessible Translation in an Elegant Binding
The New Living Translation was translated by 90 leading Bible scholars from the ancient texts. It employs natural, conversational English accessible to people of all ages and a range of educational levels, making it particularly suitable for people new to the Bible and for public reading.
The slimline Cambridge Pitt Minion format is widely admired for its compact but clear type and its elegant binding styles. In the NLT editions the words of Christ are printed in red and there are full cross- references, a dictionary/concordance and maps.
The materials are of a very high standard: the Bible is printed on very thin and light India paper, with gold edges. The pages are Smyth-sewn, giving the books plenty of support and allowing them to stay flat once open. The cover is made from French Morocco leather. Reviews "For those unfamiliar with the Pitt Minion layout, it is a compact bible that fits comfortably in your hand and is reminds me of the bible I often saw on my grandmother's night stand. . . . everything about it is beautifully reminiscent of bibles from years past. . . . The two columns of the Pitt Minion allow for a . . . compact edition that gives up nothing in overall readability with its smaller but perfectly clear font."--Taking Thoughts Captive |
