Bible, Twentieth century New Testament [*]$1. Revell.
“‘The twentieth century Testament’ is a translation into modern English made from the original Greek by a company of about twenty scholars representing the various sections of the Christian church.” (N. Y. Times). In spite of the radical efforts of religious and literary formalists the world over to oppose modernizing the form of the Scriptures, “the demand of the people for a Gospel in their own tongue is too strong to be checked.” (Ind.)
“There can be no question that this work is equaled by few, if any, in its earnestness, scholarship, and success. It deserves to be studied and publicly read, not in the place of, but along side of, the American standard revision.” C. W. V.
