About the Translation, The American Literary Version of the Biblical Library

• Freshly revised from the 1901 American Standard Version.
• Reviewed by PhD biblical language experts holding positions at institutions such as Oxford, Emory, and Fuller who, without damaging the literary quality of the base translation, suggested changes to bring the translation up to par with where textual criticism and Greek and Hebrew lexicography currently stand.
• Exceptionally literal among modern translations, preserving more of the concrete, ambiguous, repetitious, and grammatical qualities of the original languages.

This set includes a traditional paperboard slipcase that fits all five volumes (1: The Five Books & The Former Prophets, 2: The Latter Prophets, 3: The Writings, 4: The Apocrypha, 5: The New Testament).
