Wycliffe New Testament (modern spelling edition)
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
This is the New Testament of Terence Noble's modern spelling update of the Wycliffe Bible of the 14th century. From the back cover:
With the spelling up-dated and many obsolete words replaced, this Bible is a fair and accurate representation of John Wycliffe’s and John Purvey’s 14th century translation of the very first English vernacular New Testament. This is their New Testament with modern spelling – not some 21st century variation on a medieval theme. Six centuries later, you can now read what those common folk were themselves at long last able to read (or, more likely, have read to them). Simple, direct words, with their own charm and rhythm, their own humble, cogent beauty. Sophisticated and graceful words, their originality and newness making the well-known and fondly remembered fresh, alive, and interesting once again.
