Modern Bible with NO Copyright (!)

Description: Modern Bible With No Copyright Open up any bible on your shelf and check the copyright page. Now check the one in your church pew, library, or wherever you want to look. You will find all of them carry copyrights, preventing you from quoting more than a few verses without violating someone's version of a text thousands of years old. The only copyright the NDV carries is the publishing right for the whole work. Unless you plan on competing with the publisher and selling these yourself, you have 100% free usage of the text. This includes the electronic versions of EPUB, PDF, and word-processing programs such as Word. This is the New Darby Version, fully updated in a clean format. This new compact edition is a convenient 8" x 5-1/2" x 1" hardcover, available in burgundy or blue. ISBN 978-3-96162-375-4 The New Darby Version combines one of the best translations made in the English language (1884) with the ease of modern speaking. The distinctions made between using you (plural) and thou (singular) are still there; the pronouns are marked for you. In fact, nothing has been changed except vocabulary words; the New Darby Version is as precisely like his original as possible. It is available for reproduction in large parts as only the copyright for the publication of the whole is retained. John Nelson Darby's translation combines a breathtakingly accurate rendition combined with easy readability and beauty; it is a copy that you will find yourself reaching for again and again. Suitable for study, leisure reading, or public forums, this edition is neither a scan nor a copy; it is a word-for-word transcription and the result of years of work. The purist who loves JND's archaic version can flip to the Appendix and find a list of every single word that has been changed. The only thing this edition lacks (stay tuned though) is Darby's footnotes; however it does have the most complete collection of his Bible introductions ever published in English. Darby's translated directly from the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek without depending on a 'critical text' (a particular work presenting the best possible combination of variant readings) in a day when this demanded actually going and visiting each manuscript where it was being held. His Greek prowess was legendary, and there are many passages in the New Testament where the sense given in his translation is still head and shoulders above the rest. Reluctant to displace the King James Version in his day, he held back from publishing the Bible in English until near the end of his life; his German and French translations are landmarks. This translation comes very highly recommended by those who read as a daily habit and require a translation that both conveys the beauty of scripture and the precision of meaning.
