NET Bible, Full-Notes Edition Love doing in-depth Bible research, but are not really an expert on the original languages? This Bible will aid your study. As a one- volume compendium of notes, it functions almost like a mini-encyclopedia of why one translation was chosen over another, what each decision means, and why the alternatives were rejected. With 58,506 comments from more than 25 leading scholars, the New English Translation includes the largest collection of notes ever as- sembled under a single cover. By looking over the shoulders of translators as they work, you perceive firsthand the constant tension between accuracy, readability, and eloquence. You’ll hear of various theories for Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek grammatical constructions, as well as explanations for unusual little-known terms. Throughout, reference is made to today’s foremost commentaries. Learned, comprehensive, evenhanded, this Bible makes clear that expositors who loudly proclaim “the Greek means this” or “the Hebrew means that” may be oversimplifying complex, nuanced exegetical assessments. Put this valuable tool on your working shelf and see how often you refer to it! 2400 pages, 6éüï¤ x 9éüï¤. Nelson.
