This review is from: New Testament: Novum Testamentum Latine (Nova Vulgata) (Latin Edition) (Leather Bound)

Bought this along with a new color-coded copy of the King James Bible. It is very interesting to see how the ecclesiastical language has been watered down over the years and, at least arguably, as a result of the Reformation. While the core message is the same, the strength of the message varies with the language used and the depth of the meaning given to specific words. Reading this text gives a larger dimension to the history, meaning, and practice of Christian Faith over a period of about 2000 years.

Perfect chance to brush up Latin studied in high school. The Latin resonates with meaning not always encountered in the English. High production values in this well-published volume. Comfortable to hold and read!
