Why read this Bible?
This edition helps to investigate questions about historical and religious backgrounds separately from an initial introduction to the text.
Does this edition suit you?
First use a regular text page and then read the explanation. It concerns the New Testament, not a complete Bible with the Old Testament. Compare the approach with the NBV21 Wetenschapsbijbel: it involves broader questions about faith, culture and science; here the Jewish context is central. The editors of the original English edition are Amy-Jill Levine and Marc Zvi Brettler. They are not the original authors of the Bible text.
Features of this version
- NBV21 New Testament
