The English Standard Version® (ESV®) stands in the classic mainstream of English Bible translations over the past half-millennium. The fountainhead of that stream was William Tyndale’s New Testament of 1526; marking its course were the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971 (RSV). In that stream, faithfulness to the text and vigorous pursuit of accuracy were combined with simplicity, beauty, and dignity of expression. Our goal has been to carry forward this legacy for a new century. T R A N S L AT I O N I N F O R M AT I O N The “ESV”; and “English Standard Version” are trademarks of Good News Publishers. Use of either trademark requires the permission of Good News Publishers. To this end each word and phrase in the ESV® has been carefully weighed against the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, to ensure the fullest accuracy and clarity and to avoid under-translating or overlooking any nuance of the original text. The words and phrases themselves grow out of the Tyndale-King James legacy, and most recently out of the RSV, with the 1971 RSV text providing the starting point for our work. Archaic language has been brought to current usage and significant corrections have been made in the translation of key texts. But throughout, our goal has been to retain the depth of meaning and enduring language that have made their indelible mark on the English-speaking world and have defined the life and doctrine of the church over the last four centuries. The ESV® is an “essentially literal” translation that seeks as far as possible to capture the precise wording of the original text and the personal style of each Bible writer. It seeks to be transparent to the original text, letting the reader see as directly as possible the structure and meaning of the original.

Now available using the ReinaValera 1960 translation into the Spanish language, this Bible will open up the doors to in-depth study of the Bible’s original languages of Hebrew and Greek. All the features and benefits of using the AMG Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible are available in this edition including Bible book introductions, marking of key words and Strong’s numbers, footnotes and centercolumn references for in-depth study, Old and New Testament grammatical helps section, and Bible and word study dictionaries in the back of this edition. Its principal translator was Casiodoro de Reina, an independent Lutheran theologian, but a manuscript found at the Bodleian Library gives further evidence of the fact that the Spanish Bible was a community project. This translation was based on the Hebrew Masoretic Text (Bomberg’s Edition, 1525) and the Greek Textus Receptus (Stephanus’ Edition, 1550). As secondary sources Reina was aided by the Ferrara Bible for the Old Testament and the Latin Edition of Santes Pagnino throughout. For the New Testament he had great aid from the translations of Francisco de Enzinas and Juan Pérez de Pineda. The 1569 version included the deuterocanonical books in the Old Testament. This Bible, as central to the perception of the scriptures by Protestants in Spanish as the King James Version in English, has undergone numerous revisions, the first of which took place in 1602 under the editorial eye of Cipriano de Valera. This edition was printed in Amsterdam. The 1602 revision moved the deuterocanonical books to a section between the Old and New Testaments called the Apocrypha. Next was the revision of 1862, followed by other important revisions in 1909, 1960 and 1995. Modern editions often omit the Apocrypha. The 1909 edition is essentially the equivalent of the English King James Version, while the 1960 edition is the equivalent of the English Revised Standard Version. Both versions are therefore still in print. Since the 1960 revision was released, there has been much debate among conservative Christian groups which use the Reina-Valera Bible. However, the 1960 revision became the common Bible of many millions of Spanish-speaking Christians around the world, surpassing the 1909 in its reception. Almost all Hispanic liberal and pentecostal churches use it, despite further attempts to revise it. T R A N S L AT I O N I N F O R M AT I O N Reina-Valera 1960 is a Spanish translation of the Bible, first published in 1569 in Basel, Switzerland and nicknamed the “Biblia del Oso” (in English: Bible of the Bear). It was not the first complete Bible in Spanish; several others, most notably the Alfonsina Bible, were published in previous centuries.

When traveling on a cross-country automobile trip, he often wrote in a notepad on his lap while his wife drove. The story is also told that when he stood in line waiting to get a ticket at the airline counter, he jotted down ideas for a new book (Blessed Hope, AMG Publishers). Just as he did in the classroom for over twenty years, Dr. Unger pours his heart and soul into teaching the Word. As one student said, he had a way of “being absorbed in the verses but then lifting the students into the heavens as to what the Lord was telling us in the words of the text.” Inside these pages is a collection of the observations and teachings of one of the finest Bible scholars of the twentieth century. Merrill Frederick Unger (19091980) received his BA from John Hopkins University, a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary, and then returned to John Hopkins to earn his Ph.D. in Hebrew and Semitic languages. Dr. Unger served as professor of Semitics and Old Testament at Dallas Theological Seminary from 1948 to 1967.

While sword maiden Marcelle returns to their home planet in search of military aid, Adrian stays on Starlight to find his brother Frederick, hoping to join forces and liberate the slaves through stealth. Both learn that reliance on brute force or ingenuity will not be enough to bring complete freedom to those held in chains. BOOK DESCRIPTION Exodus Rising is the third book in the Tales of Starlight series. Filled with excitement, twists and turns, and thoughtprovoking dilemmas, Exodus Rising will keep readers turning the pages. SPIRITUAL THEMES The overarching theme of the entire series is sacrifice for the benefit of those weaker than oneself. Under that major theme are the sub-themes of love, faith, courage, and trust as the two heroes are forced to trust each other from afar and rely on each other’s love and faithfulness. Their willingness to suffer and sacrifice in order to free captive slaves parallels the sacrifice of Christ and His torturous journey to the cross.

He rules all Aralyn with an iron hand. Meridium, the metal alloy that is both the source and currency of power throughout the world was discovered in Barra-Dohn and BarraDohn remains dominant because of it. The family of Eirmon Omiir couldn’t be more fractured. Eirmon cares for little beyond the power of his throne and his own personal pleasure, and the sins of the father have had generational consequences. Eirmon’s son, Kaden, has reaped their bitter harvest. His marriage is in shambles, a deep divide separating him from both his wife and his son. A series of mysterious visitors begin to converge on Barra-Dohn, each with their own secrets and motives. There is the elderly Devoted, with his impossible prophesy that the mighty Barra-Dohn will fall within 40 days, the pair of Amhuru, legendary wanderers, who have come to take back what was stolen, and the Jin Dara, who brings an army and an ancient thirst for vengeance. The events that follow and the crisis that emerges offer both Eirmon and Kaden a chance at restoration, to rise above their past failures, even as the world around them falls apart. Kaden seizes this chance, a small mercy in the midst of a greater judgement. Eirmon does not, and his fate is sealed. And so is the fate of the world, for the end of BarraDohn is the beginning of The Wandering, and everything hangs in the balance. Carton Quantity: 20 S E R I E S I N F O R M AT I O N For a world that has elevated created things above its creator and forgotten where it came from, a price must be paid. The empire of Barra-Dohn is the first to pay that price, and as a remnant flees the fall of that empire, the mysterious Jin Dara seeks unimaginable power by gathering all the fragments of the Golden Cord together. The exiles from Barra-Dohn and the Amhuru, a tribe of nomadic warriors who protect those fragments must try to stop him. There is nowhere to run and there are no safe places; The Wandering has begun.

Barkley Briggs, The Book of Names (Legends of Karac Tor series) ISBN: 9780899578637 SPIRITUAL THEMES The first task of all fiction is to tell a good story, which The Darker Road does, but within that story lie several important messages. The most obvious is that our choices have consequences, as the sins of the city of Barra-Dohn lead to its downfall, and as the main character, Kaden Omiir, must face the fact that his choices have alienated him from his wife and son. The second is that mercy in the midst of judgement is possible, as Kaden has the chance to begin to repair what he’s broken, even as his world crumbles around him. Finally, the fundamental premise that underlies not only The Darker Road but all of The Wandering, is that if a world turns away from its creator, caring only about created things, there might be a price to pay. A terrible price.

Other works from the early 19th century confirm the widespread use of this name on both sides of the Atlantic: it is found both in a “Historical sketch of the English translations of the Bible” published in Massachusetts in 1815, and in an English publication from 1818, which explicitly states that the 1611 version is “generally known by the name of King James’s Bible”. This name was also found as King James’ Bible (without the final “s”): for example in a book review from 1811. The phrase “King James’s Bible” is used as far back as 1715, although in this case it is not clear whether this is a name or merely a description. The use of Authorized Version or Authorised Version, capitalized and used as a name, is found as early as 1814. In Britain, the 1611 translation is generally known as the “Authorized Version” today. As early as 1814, we find King James’ version, evidently a descriptive phrase, being used. In the United States, the “1611 translation” (actually the standard text of 1769) is generally known as the King James Version or King James Bible today.
