The New Testament in Modern English

Plot

With millions of copies in print since its first publication, J.B. Phillips' edition of The New Testament in Modern English is the authoritative, classic translation from the latest Greek text published by the United Bible Societies, recognized by scholars of all denominations as the best source available. Begun as a translation of the Epistles, entitled "Letters to Young Churches," intended as encouragement to his British congregation under siege from German bombs during World War II, Phillips' painstaking task expanded until he had given the world a lively, readable, and accurate text. This respected translation of the New Testament remains a message of hope for modern believers in an ever-changing world.
