The Parallel KJV New Testament

Modern translations differ from the King James Version in many ways. These differences arise for two reasons: 1. translation philosophy and 2. the Greek New Testament editions the translators used. The KJV is an English translation of the Textus Receptus. What if the KJV used the Critical Greek Text like most modern translations?

The Parallel KJV New Testament allows readers to compare the two major New Testament manuscript traditions and see how they inform English translations. The Greek traditions with English translations are laid out in parallel columns:
· Textus Receptus, the basis for the KJV
· Critical Text, the basis for most modern translations
· Classic KJV, translated from the Textus Receptus
· Modified KJV, retranslated from the Critical Text

Differences are highlighted across the four columns so readers can easily compare the Textus Receptus and Critical Text and recognize their similarities and differences. This one-of-a-kind resource is ideal for those interested in Bible translation, textual criticism, and the KJV. It shows English-only readers something they could never see before: which differences among Bible translation are due to text rather than translation philosophy.
