The First English Version of the Bible ever printed, this epoch-making work by William Tyndale and Miles Coverdale is presented for the first time complete in one volume in Modern Spelling. The TC translation is the foundation and true source of the celebrated King James Version. But where the KJV freely modifies the text, so that God's Word might better conform to "ecclesiastical traditions", the TC presents the Scriptures as they were delivered: without modification, ammendment, or compromise. This deluxe printed edition of the "MSTC" is illuminated with over 150 engravings and extensive helps, including Biographical Notes and Essays, Holy Land Maps, and a Concise Concordance.

The Septuagint (the ancient Greek translation of Jewish sacred writings) is of great importance in the history of both Judaism and Christianity. The first translation of the books of the Hebrew Bible (plus additions) into the common language of the ancient Mediterranean world made the Jewish scriptures accessible to many outside Judaism. Not only did the Septuagint become Holy Writ to Greek speaking Jews but it was also the Bible of the early Christian communities: the scripture they cited and the textual foundation of the early Christian movement. Translated from Hebrew (and Aramaic) originals in the two centuries before Jesus, the Septuagint provides important information about the history of the text of the Bible. For centuries, scholars have looked to the Septuagint for information about the nature of the text and of how passages and specific words were understood. For students of the Bible, the New Testament in particular, the study of the Septuagint's influence is a vital part of the history of interpretation. But until now, the Septuagint has not been available to English readers in a modern and accurate translation. The New English Translation of the Septuagint fills this gap.
