Spoken English New Testament -- 1st Edition

What’s unique about this Spoken English New Testament ("SENT")? SENT gives the reader the closest possible rendering of the scriptural text, while rendering the text into natural and accessible spoken English. SENT supplies numerous easy-to-understand explanations of Bible words and and terms, and gives many “literal” and alternative renderings in footnotes. SENT assists reading aloud by sounding out unfamiliar words, names, and place names. Italics in the main text help the reader by suggesting words to emphasize when reading a sentence aloud. SENT has been tested and improved with the help of dozens of real readers who read the text aloud in focus groups. Various kinds of Christians and non-Christians participated. SENT has been placed into the Creative Commons, and may be freely incorporated into other educational materials. PDF editions of the full text are available free of charge from the publisher.
