Biblia Textual IV 1.5

This edition represents 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, following the advancements of the Critical Hebrew Bible evaluated according to the four main witnesses: the Masoretic Text, the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Septuagint, and the manuscripts from the Judean Desert. And for the New Covenant, it relies on the twenty-eighth edition of the Greek New Testament.

In line with its predecessors, this IV Edition has been carried out under the unparalleled 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.

Similar to its previous editions but greatly enriched by the latest archaeological discoveries, by computer technology applied to manuscripts, and by advances in biblical studies, the Textual Bible proves to be an extraordinary tool for delving into the depths of God's Word.

Through its text, this edition includes over 12,000 footnotes along with substantial material for an expanded Special Passages section featuring over 300 notes of exegetical and theological interest.
