Author Description

This Edition constitutes the most significant contribution in the restoration of the Sacred Text, particularly in what pertains to the Hebrew text of the Old Covenant. Its format is presented under the same layout and sequence used by the Apostles and the Early Church in the first century of our era. Faithfully following the style of translation of previous Editions, the Textual Bible is based on the best critical text available, according to the advances of the Hebraic Critical Bible evaluated according to the four main witnesses that are: the Masoretic Text, the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Septuagint and the manuscripts of the Judean Desert. And for the New Covenant the twenty-eighth edition of the Greek New Testament. Faithful to its predecessors, the Fourth Edition, has been carried out under the unsurpassed discipline of Contextual Translation, which expresses, without compromises, not what the Sacred Author could have said, but what He says in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. Just like its previous editions, but greatly benefited by the latest findings of archeology, computer technology applied to manuscripts and the advancement of biblical studies, the Textual Bible is an extraordinary instrument to explore the depths of the Word of God. Through its text, this edition includes more than 12,000 footnotes, as well as material for the Special Passages section, which is extended to more than 300 notes of exegetical and theological interest.
