With all due respect to the King James Version of the Bible, its books are quite out of order! The fact is, King James and his team of 54 translators missed a golden opportunity to produce a complete Bible in which the books follow the original manuscript order which, ironically, was well known among those scholars. Why was the inspired canonical order intentionally ignored? Was it political/religious expediency? Was there a real fear of offending the doctrinal sensitivities of the Church of England?
Now, 400 years later, a new Bible is making headlines The Holy Bible In Its Original Order. This extraordinary Bible is unique in three ways.
First, it is the only complete Bible ever published with Old and New Testaments that follows the original, canonical manuscript order. Today, nearly all theologians and scholars recognize this manuscript order, but overlook its importance. The Holy Bible In Its Original Order gives you, the reader, concrete, verifiable proof of the original, inspired manuscript order of the books of the Bible. Commentaries are included that trace precisely how the order of the books of the Bible was mysteriously altered by early church fathers in the fourth century, leading to the present 66-book format.
Once the original order of the 49 God-breathed biblical books is properly restored, God s purposeful design of the Scriptures begins to unfold, substantiating its divine inspiration. Major portions of Scripture become unscrambled from an arrangement of neglect and disorder, unlocking vital keys to understanding. The Bible suddenly takes on a new sense of balance, symmetry and unity.
Second, this version is a new easy-to-understand translation, one that reflects the meaning of the original Hebrew and Greek with fidelity and accuracy. It combines current scholarship with the latest in archeological findings yet, it is free from the influence of religious tradition and presupposition.
Third, The Holy Bible In Its Original Order recaptures the original, inspired teachings of both the Old and New Testaments through its translation and its extensive commentaries. Over the centuries, numerous doctrinal errors have developed from inaccurate translations and rigid adherence to religious traditions of men. Setting aside such traditions, this new Bible restores more than just the correct canonical order it restores the very truth of God.
With its faithful translation and wealth of commentaries and appendices (over 250 pages worth), The Holy Bible In Its Original Order is designed to lead the believer to the unadulterated truth of the Old and New Testament Scriptures and into the faith once delivered by Jesus Christ and the original apostles.
