Main features of the Ancient Words Greek New Testament

• The Alexandrian text-type, represented by Nestle 1904, and the Byzantine, represented by Stephanus 1550, where in agreement, form a common base text for the Ancient Words Greek New Testament.
• Variants between the Alexandrian and Byzantine texts are presented in-line without bias using square brackets [Alexandrian] and parentheses (Byzantine).  Thus, both text-types are honored without prejudice, allowing the reader equal and objective access to two of the most respected ancient Greek New Testament base-texts in one convenient document.
• The variants among most modern English Bible translations are addressed in the Ancient Words Greek New Testament so the Greek reader can quickly identify and follow the source texts while enjoying a variety of English Church services.
• Nestle 1904 and Stephanus 1550 represent two of the most respected and broad-based Greek source-texts underlying the English New Testament.  The modern version of the Authorized King James Bible draws its New Testament portions primarily from Stephanus 1550.  Stephanus standardized the chapter-and-verse numbering system used today and Stephanus IV was the chief base-text of the Geneva Bible, making the Stephanus texts the official New Testament Greek source of the Protestant Movement for more than 300 years.  The Alexandrian text-type is represented by Eberhard Nestle's, The New Testament: Text with Critical Apparatus, published by The British And Foreign Bible Society.
• Images of ancient papyri and parchments are displayed on the navigation page of each New Testament book.  The digital images of these priceless treasures has been graphically enhanced to make the Greek text more legible, while balancing the highest quality with the needs of quick-loading mobile devices.

Ancient Words Greek New Testament available for Pre-Order

Ancient Words Greek New Testament Pre-release

The Ancient Words Greek New Testament brings a new dimension to original language readers.

Images of ancient manuscripts are presented at the beginning of each Bible book to reinforce the authenticity God's written Word.  The Ancient Words GNT uses in-line presentation of both the Alexandrian and Byzantine text-type variants, thus providing the Greek Bible student with a one-volume solution.

The Ancient Words Greek New Testament is the first release in the Ancient Words Bible Suite(TM) by Memorial Crown Press.  The Ancient Words Greek New Testament engages the original-language New Testament reader by presenting images of the ancient source texts at the beginning of each book.  A brief history of each manuscript includes its estimated dating and other information of interest.

The Ancient Words GNT merges the Alexandrian and the Byzantine text-types.  The texts are presented in-line so that the Bible student can decide for themselves when one Greek word or phrase might be preferred according to the readers own Spirit-led interpretation, thus, diffusing the delemma over accepting either of the text-type as being holistically superior.

Acts 11:20 is presented as an illustration:

20 Ἦσαν δέ τινες ἐξ αὐτῶν ἄνδρες Κύπριοι καὶ Κυρηναῖοι, οἵτινες ἐλθόντες εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν ἐλάλουν καὶ πρὸς τοὺς Ἕλληνας (Ἑλληνιστάς), εὐαγγελιζόμενοι τὸν Κύριον Ἰησοῦν.

If the men from Cyprus and Cyrene, had come to Antioch speaking to the Hellenists, (Ἑλληνιστάς), there would not have been a necessity, in the verses which follow, for Barnabas to fetch Paul - the Apostle to the Gentiles.  Here the Alexandrian text reads that Greeks (Ἕλληνας) responded to the gospel.  The word Hellenist was used earlier in Acts, and the scribes of the Byzantine texts may have chosen this word in Acts 11:20 for the sake of consistency.  But "Hellenists" signifies "Greek-speakers," and usually referred in the New Testament to Jews who spoke Greek - but that would not make them Gentiles!  Thus, in the context of Barnabas' reaction, the word used for Greek in the Alexandrian text simply makes more sense.

Presenting both text-types allows the reader the discretion to choose the best word for themselves, on a word-by-word basis.  This enables the reader to enjoy the simplicity of reading one Greek New Testament instead of jumping to other resources to solve source-text discrepancies.

The Ancient Words Bible Suite is designed to provided tools for the student of the Bible's original source-texts to assist the growing number of Christians who desire the most accurate understanding of God's Word.
