Articles and translation proposals for the next edition
This Edition constitutes the most significant contribution to the restoration of the Sacred Text, particularly regarding the Hebrew text of the Old Covenant.
Its format is presented under the same layout and sequence used by the Apostles and the Early Church in the first century of our era.
Faithfully following the translation style of previous Editions, the Textual Bible is based on the best critical text available, according to the advances of the Critical Hebrew Bible evaluated according to the four main witnesses, which are: the Masoretic Text, the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Septuagint and the Judean Desert manuscripts. And for the New Covenant the twenty-eighth edition of the Greek New Testament.
Faithful to its predecessors, the IV Edition has been produced under the unsurpassed discipline of Contextual Translation, which expresses, without compromise, not what the Sacred Author could have said, but what He says in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek.
Just like its previous Editions, but greatly benefited by the latest findings in archaeology, by computer technology applied to manuscripts and the advance of biblical studies, the Textual Bible is an extraordinary instrument for exploring the depths of the Word of God.
Throughout its text, this edition includes more than 12,000 footnotes, in addition to competent material for the Special Passages section expanded to more than 300 notes of exegetical and theological interest.
