The AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY is an interdenominational, donor- supported, nonprofit ministry whose mission is to make accurate and affordable translations of the Bible available to everyone. Founded in New York City in 1816, ABS is dedicated to the purpose of presenting the Bible in compelling ways, enabling readers to experience life in its fullness through faith in Jesus Christ. ABS has a number of "firsts" in its record books: the first Bibles in hotels, the first pocket Bibles for soldiers (during the Civil war), and the first Bibles provided for the U.S. Military in 1817. The Society extends its outreach internationally through the United Bible Societies (UBS), a fellowship of 126 international Bible societies, and was instrumental in founding this global fellowship in the interest of greater ministry impact and efficiency. In 1999 alone, more than 63 million copies of the Society's publications were distributed throughout the United States and the world. The CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH VERSION was published by the American Bible Society in response to an urgent need for a translation that would reach those many millions who are not reading the Bible. The goal was a Bible that is a serious translation-not a paraphrase-that combines historical and scholarly accuracy with contemporary language that everyone can understand. The result is a Bible that resonates with all people, wherever they may be in their spiritual journey. At last, a Bible that is easy to read, yet allows for a deeper connection to the very God who created us. Never before has there been a Bible that speaks so clearly to the heart and the mind of every reader.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces readers to the twentieth-century approach to the study of New Testament texts, which emphasizes the historical and cultural context of the writings. The author provides a concise and comprehensive account of the methods, benefits, and limitations of this approach, effectively bridging the gap between basic introductions and advanced scholarly monographs. The historical-critical method has transformed the study of the New Testament, helping scholars to better understand the origins, development, and meaning of the texts. It highlights the importance of examining the historical and cultural context in which the texts were written, taking into account the social, political, and religious forces that shaped them. The book also explores the debates and challenges associated with the historical-critical method, providing a balanced and nuanced analysis of its strengths and weaknesses. It acknowledges that while the method has led to significant insights, it is not without limitations, and the author discusses these limitations openly and honestly. Ultimately, this book argues that the historical-critical method remains a valuable tool for understanding the New Testament, offering a deeper appreciation of the texts' complexity and diversity. It encourages readers to engage critically with the method, recognizing both its potential and its limitations, to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the New Testament and its significance.
