Stored in temperature-controlled environment, free of smelly humidity stains and the smell of a smoker. Overall, Near Fine, like new. Dustjacket: Price intact on flap. Minor folds, two corner bumps from handling and shelving, however free of tears and chips. Overall Near Fine, like new. This outstanding book is a fresh translation of the Four Gospels and Revelation, and also a superb act of restoration, in which these Christian scriptures are returned to their Judaic origins and contest. It helps the reader gain a greater understanding of the Gospels. A remarkable, historic book. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991.

Store description
We are a well-established, well-respected book dealer who is professional, honest, and ethical in our business dealings. We tend to describe each book in a reserved, conservative manner, rather than oversell a book or sidestep the responsibility of addressing its flaws. Book club editions and library books along with books without dustjackets (if they came with dustjackets) are pointed out in our descriptions. We describe our books in detail, pointing out the precise condition of each book based on our opinion. It's your assurance that the book we describe is as close as possible to the book you will receive. In business since 1991, we typically have the highest ratings on major web sites.
It will be a pleasure to serve you.
