Just in time for Pride! The worlds first affirming and inclusive 2 column Old and New Testament Pride Edition, Black and White. The Modern Standard Version is a complete translation of the Holy Bible in modern English. The Modern Standard Version is primarily that of the “equivalence” of a word for word translation. The Septuagint, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Samaritan Pentateuch, Syriac Peshitta, Aramaic Targum, Old Latin, Vulgate manuscripts, the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (5th edition.) and the Hebrew Tanakh was used to translate the Old Testament and correct the Masoretic Leningrad Codex. Critical texts are used to translate the New Testament instead of the Majority text that the KJV and the ASV used. Thousands of archaic words and phrases have been updated and the MSV was checked against the Greek and Hebrew texts where there are significant textual variants or the meaning is not certain. Anglo-Saxon words such as sin and Hell (which are not Hebrew or Greek words) have been replaced case by case with the proper English words. The MSV is the worlds first truly inclusive and affirming Bible! Translated by: Bishop Scott Grey, DTh - Contributors: Rev. Perry H Ball, DD - Rev. Gary Simpson, MDIV - Jason A. Shirley
