The new edition of the Common Translation as a family Bible is a special invitation to make the Book of Books your own. Around 40 color plates bridge the gap between the biblical world and the biblical word. The photos depict landscapes, historical sites, and monuments of the biblical faith. At the beginning of the book, there is a beautifully designed family chronicle to make the Bible a personal book, a family Bible that can be passed down from generation to generation. The basis of this Bible edition is the complete, revised text of the Common Translation. The appendix includes: the Common Translation of the Holy Scriptures and its revision - an introductory overview, the textual foundations of the Common Translation and its revision, measurements, weights, and coins, calendars and holidays, names and terms, a timeline of biblical history, as well as maps and abbreviations.
