Synopsis
New Testament created especially for Bible studies. Whether you're leading or just participating in a Bible study - when someone says, "My Bible doesn't say that" you'll be able to help everyone in the group understand the different texts. At the bottom of each page is a parallel textual apparatus that presents the textual choices of 20 Bible versions for each verse of the New Testament. This is the largest parallel textual apparatus for English Bible versions currently available. This will enable you to show everyone the reading in their Bible and everyone else's Bible.

Over 15,000 variations in ancient manuscripts are translated in the footnotes. Uncertain readings are clearly marked in brackets.
Readability, accuracy, and formal equivalence are empirically measured and charted for the 20 English versions and compared to The Comprehensive New Testament. Readability is measured using the Coleman-Liau scoring system in Readability Studio version 1.2.0.0, Copyright © 2007. Accuracy and formal equivalence are measured by comparing each verse from the different versions to the Nestle-Aland 27th edition Greek New Testament.
Cross references are arranged by topic, passage, and verse. Highly significant parallels are quoted in special highlight boxes throughout the cross reference index. The cross reference index includes over 40,000 references for:
