5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have Study Bible, February 22, 2001

By 

Marvin L. Walther (Hope, AR USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Holy Bible in Modern English/Burgundy (Hardcover)

This Bible is truly a clear and accurate translation from the original Hebrew, Greek, and Chaldean texts. The books of the Bible have been re-arranged in chronological order so as to present a better understanding of the chain of human and Divine events. If you owned no other Bible than this one, and had no Concordance, or other cross-reference materials, you would gain a better understanding of God's word with this Bible alone. It is great for study because it uses classic dialectic English from which our current-day English is derived. The 'thees' and 'thous' are finally gone rendering a beautifully fluid binding of the scriptures into one exciting story after another. It reads more like a factual novel than a broken English translation from a foreign langauge arts course. I might point out to those who've never thought of it before, that when the KJV was written Old English had only about a 25,000 - word vocabulary. When Fenton finished his work in the 19th century, English had evolved to a language form that could dynamically describe (with accuracy) the events in the original Holy texts with over 10 times as many words at his disposal!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yahweh's word restored, October 1, 2000

By 

Jay Williams (Wantagh New York) - See all my reviews

I wish to recomend this translation of the Holy Bible to anyone who seriously wishes to understand the meaning of scripture. If you were to compare the words used to correctly decipher the writing in Hebrew, to the words which Ferrar Fenton chose to use for his translation, you will find that his work is the most exact way to understand the Hebrew and Chaldean meaning, published even to this day. The Greek is also of the highest level due to the fact that Mr. Fenton chose to format the passages as to what they meant, instead of rewording them as they appeared in obselete languages, as previous translators did, leaving us searching the concordances and lexicons to find out what the passages meant.

If you choose this Bible, you will be fascinated by the ease of reading, and the ease of understanding the meaning of each individual event, or prophecy. Please purchace this Bible, and may Yahweh God bless you as you come to the next level of understanding.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Holy Bible in Modern English/Burgundy, January 9, 2000

Because Fenton carefully explained why his translation differed in certain instances from other Biblical translations, and also set out for the reader the historical environment in certain divisions of his rendition, it makes the Bible become more real and plausible. Thus it reads more easily and is more readily assimilated.
