A practical companion for readers of the New Testament text

This volume collects notes explaining the author’s proposed changes to the Authorized English Version, grounded in Griesbach’s Greek text and a careful study of manuscripts, versions, and ancient quotations. It helps readers see how translation choices shape meaning and how language of the New Testament differs from modern English.

Structured as notes with passing explanations, the book shows the logic behind each proposed alteration, and why certain words, articles, and terms should be translated more literally. It also sheds light on the peculiarities of the original language and the historical context behind key passages.

Clear guidance on how to read the New Testament more closely and historically
Direct comparisons: original Greek wording, the author’s translation, and translator’s notes
Discussion of common translation pitfalls and how to avoid them
Notes that illuminate linguistic features without spoiling the narrative flow

Ideal for readers of the edition translated from Griesbach’s text, students of biblical language, and anyone seeking a deeper, more literal understanding of the New Testament.
