About this Item

2013 Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc. (Brooklyn, New York), 3 7/8 x 5 3/8 inches tall grey faux leather hardcover, grey embossed lettering to front cover and spine, all page edges silver, ribbon marker sewn in, map endpapers, illustrated, 1765 pp. New, still sealed in publisher's clear wrap. ~SP10~ [1.5P] The compact version of the 2013 edition of the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, a significant revision that prioritizes modern, clear language and readability over the more literal, 'wooden' style of previous editions. The text was shortened by about 10% through the omission of auxiliary terms that were previously used to indicate verb states in Hebrew. Obsolete or potentially misunderstood terms were updated for clarity. For example, 'harlot' became 'prostitute,' 'long-suffering' became 'patience,' and 'fornication' became 'sexual immorality.' Features: Introduction to God's Word: A section at the front that answers 20 basic scriptural questions; Glossary of Bible Terms: A short dictionary explaining biblical words and expressions; Appendixes A and B: Contain articles, charts, historical information, maps, and diagrams; Outline of Content; Marginal References: The center column retains relevant cross-references from earlier editions pointing to related Bible verses.
