The five books in the series A Twenty-First-Century Bible recognise that the Bible is not the easiest book to read. As a consequence, they use the complete text of the Bible and rearrange the narrative into historical order, with two or more versions of the same story merged together. They deal with some of the anomalies in the original text and reinstate cultural aspects which have been lost in modern translations.

Produktbeschreibung
The five books in the series A Twenty-First-Century Bible recognise that the Bible is not the easiest book to read. As a consequence, they use the complete text of the Bible and rearrange the narrative into historical order, with two or more versions of the same story merged together. They deal with some of the anomalies in the original text and reinstate cultural aspects which have been lost in modern translations. The text is presented in two types: a translation of the original languages in normal print; and additions-to help the flow of the narrative and to enlighten the reader to some of the cultural background and meaning-in italics. The fifth volume The New Covenant takes the reader from the birth of Jesus to the vision of John on Patmos. The letters (where they can be historically identified) have been inserted in the Narrative section of the book. But they have been included in such a way that the book can be easily read from beginning to end (including the letters), or by skipping over the letters and keeping the narrative intact.

Autorenporträt
Brian A Curtis was born in Kent, England, and at the age of twenty, left home and migrated to Australia. In 1980, he began his theological studies at Ridley Theological College, Melbourne, and on completion was ordained by the Anglican Church of Australia in Tasmania. In 1990, he took a ten-year break from the ordained ministry, and gained work helping welfare recipients and the long-term unemployed. He then returned to the stipendiary ministry, but retired in 2009 to concentrate on his writing. Brian has a deep interest in biblical culture and teaching. Indeed, he has a passion that others should share a good understanding of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures. He sees this as particularly relevant in a world where they are so often misunderstood and misrepresented.
