21st Century New Testament

<p><strong>Get ready for a unique English translation of the New Testament: one where the word church isn't even mentioned and Jesus is the hero who offers something worth living for suffering for and dying for. </strong></p><p>The most devout Christians can tout their knowledge of the old New Testament for days but what does knowledge really do if not put into action? </p><p>From seasoned Bible translator and passionate faith-filled researcher Charlie Webster comes <em>21st CENTURY NEW TESTAMENT: THE MANUAL FOR GOD'S TEAM</em>. It's a New Testament translation that reads unlike anything traditional and challenges some widely accepted traditions. However it is faithful to the original intent-Webster has simply swapped the traditionally used words and replaced them with phrases that in 21st-century America better communicate what the author was trying to convey. Some of the translation's clearest distinctions from others include: </p><p>��� The word church is never used; it is instead replaced with the word team (which is a far better translation of the Greek).</p><p>��� The word believe is almost always replaced with have faith (also a far better translation of the Greek). </p><p>��� Letters are arranged chronologically instead of by size. </p><p>��� Wherever possible difficult names of people and places are moved to footnotes. </p><p>��� An extensive companion glossary (available at NCM-21.com) answers common questions and provides background historical and cultural information. </p><p>Webster's translation emphasizes three major themes from the New Testament: faith that's faithful to God; caring love for all others; and focusing on an eternity worth living for suffering for and even dying for as motivation for faith and caring love.</p>
